Do you live in or near Allora, Lowood or Fernvale, and are interested in joining a group for a weekly exercise class or a monthly walking group? It's suitable for anyone* and any level, and our expert Exercise Physiologists will guide you through each step of the way. It's also a great opportunity to meet some people in your community, and enjoy a good start to your day.

The Group Exercise classes are particularly helpful for those who are:

• At risk of or are living with a chronic disease (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, obesity, Parkinsons, COPD)

• Elderly community members

• Wanting to exercise but don’t know where to start or don’t have the motivation

Group Exercise Classes consist of low-moderate intensity focusing on improving general health and wellbeing through stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular activities. Most exercise classes will be in a circuit format to allow the participants to alter their preferred level of intensity at each station. Each exercise can be performed in the participant’s own time and at their chosen intensity as guided by the instructors. The intensity and type of exercises instructed will be in line with the participant’s individual goals and physical capabilities.

Also, every month one of our Exercise Physiologists will meet locals for a quick 30min walk in Lowood and Fernvale, after which they will stop by a local cafe to chat and have a coffee. These walks are suitable for anyone* and any level, they will be low to moderate severity, and allow people to network and build friendships as well as keep healthy and well.

See below for more information about location, times and costs involved.

**Please note is necessary to have had a consultation with/been assessed by the Exercise Physiologist prior to Group Exercise to ensure safety and appropriateness of the class.
