In the interest of keeping our participants safe and well, and to minimise the potential for transmission of COVID 19 (Corona Virus), our Healthy Lifestyle classes have been suspended for the remainder of Term 1, 2020. We appreciate the value of these classes to our participants and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. However, it was deemed necessary to suspend the classes given the potential risk of COVID 19 specifically to older residents and the evolving situation in Northern Sydney. To hear a recorded message on updates to Term 2 arrangements call our participant hotline number on 8877 5335. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Healthy Lifestyle program during this challenging time. For more information on COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) visit  www.health.nsw.gov.au |
Exercise
keeps our muscles toned, our bones strong, improves our balance and enhances our sense of wellbeing.
Who are we?
Healthy Lifestyle is a physical activity program for adults, 18 years and over. However, they are designed for older adults in our community.
A part of Health Promotion (Northern Sydney Local Health District), the program has been run across the Northern Sydney area for over 30 years and receives more than 10,000 enrolments each year.
Courses are suitable for beginners and those who exercise regularly. They are also beneficial for people dealing with osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease or other chronic conditions.
Our participants report they feel stronger, fitter and more mobile for taking part in exercise classes. They also enjoy the opportunity to socialise and meet new friends.
Leaders
Course leaders are fully registered to teach their exercise discipline and have training in working with older adults. They also undergo professional development training and performance assessment on an annual basis.
