This exercise class is led by a Personal Trainer and the aim is to improve the person’s balance
and therefore reducing the risk of falls. While the class is taken from a standing position, for
those people who are unable to stand for long periods the exercises can also be performed
seated. People who have been attending these classes have commented that they have more
confidence and independence because of their improved balance. *This class requires an
assessment by our Personal Trainer prior to commencement as well as a medical clearance
from the GP*.
