Kori Tinana

Steady As You Go ©

Our Steady As You Go exercise classes are available at various locations in Wairarapa. These classes are designed to improve your strength and balance and help reduce falls and injuries. The classes 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 and anyone wanting to continue working on their leg strength and balance. The classes are established by one of our staff members with the aim of becoming peer-led at the end of 10 weeks.

Classes cost $2 per session. Please arrive 10 minutes before the class is due to start. For more information please contact us.

Keep Fit!

The Keep Fit! classes are targeted towards older people who are after more of a fitness challenge. The approach is holistic, involving the whole body as well as cognitive skills, and provides an excellent opportunity to meet and catch up with others.

There are three parts to each class:

• Sit and be fit – focus on breath, stretching and joint flexibility. Some exercises are done with weights
• Standing exercises – standing up/sitting down and balance exercises
• Movements to music – routines choreographed to music.

Once the class has finished, there is the opportunity to sit together enjoying a chat and cuppa.

Classes cost $2 per session. Please arrive 10 minutes before the class is due to start. For more information please contact us.
