Most people know that regular physical activity is good for your health, and Genetics Fitness are no different. But you don't have to exercise at a vigorous level to achieve health benefits.

To help both us and people of all ages and finess levels, we have two exercise programs made specifically for you - The Heart Foundation's Heartmoves and the Active Over 50's from the Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services in association with Hunter Health. Both of these are offered to all Genetics Fitness members, and times for both can be viewed on the Group Fitness timetable.

Both Heartmoves and the Active Over 50's programs are suitable for people with heart problems or any other health issues, as well as people who have been advised by their doctor to enjoy some form of moderate exercise. It could be that you need to get back into some form of gentle physical activity, or it could be that you have simply never exercised before and need to start.



The trained leaders at Genetics Fitness will show you how to complete easy and enjoyable exercises which don't strain your body. This is a great way to meet new people and socialise, and this all helps to keep you ontrack and motivated to keep exercise a regular part of your life.

You don't have to be a member of Genetics Fitness to participate in either of these senior fitness classes. The first class is complimentary and each class therafter is only $6.00 per class. A ten-visit pass can be purchased for just $55.00
