Our ‘Steady As You Go’ exercise classes are available around the Wellington region. These classes are designed to improve strength and balance and help prevent a fall.
Steady as You Go classes improve:
- Balance and leg strength
- Flexibility
- General fitness and wellbeing
And they are a great way to meet new people.
Classes consist of a combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises, and take around an hour. They are ideal for complete beginners, are ongoing and you can find out how you’ve improved over your first 10 weeks.
Classes are established by one of our staff members with the aim of becoming peer-led at the end of 10 weeks.
You can find your nearest class in the list above. If you’d like to join a class that isn’t marked as full, come by ten minutes before the class starts. $3 donation. For more information please contact us.
Aligned To Go – Our Newest Exercise Class
• Dance-based movements
• Seated, standing, and walking movements
• Improve balance, stability, flexibility, and coordination
Recently developed by Age Concern Otago in collaboration with the University of Otago, Aligned To Go is our newest falls prevention exercise class.
Aligned To Go is quite different from the original Steady As You Go as it is designed by a contemporary dancer in association with the University of Otago. It’s much faster than Steady As You Go, and a little longer. It requires participants to do some barefoot walking and parts of it are dance moves.
This class is suitable for seniors who would like something a little faster than Steady As You Go. $3 donation.
Our Aligned to Go class is currently full. If you would like to be on our waitlist for a new class, please fill in click on the link below to fill in the form:
