Why Join Optimal Movement Classes
Joining an Optimal Movement class isn’t just about getting fit—it’s about investing in your safety, well-being, and community. Our classes are an approved strength and balance program, meeting the highest standards set by a technical advisory group. This means you’re not just engaging in any fitness routine; you’re choosing a program designed to be both safe and effective, delivering evidence based results.
Did you know that community strength and balance classes have been proven to reduce the risk of falling by at least 29%? Our classes are designed to build a foundation of strength and balance that extends into your everyday life, enhancing your overall health and longevity.
We understand the importance of living independently and contributing to your family and community. Our classes not only focus on increasing strength and balance but also on enhancing mobility and flexibility —essentials for a healthier, more independent lifestyle. This combination significantly reduces the risk of fall-related injuries, like broken hips, allowing you to lead a life that is not only active but also injury-resistant. It’s not just about exercising; it’s about creating a life with fewer risks and more opportunities.
It can be challenging maintaining a consistent workout routine, and that’s why our classes offer a structured solution. Research shows that individuals are more likely to engage in regular exercise when it’s scheduled and in a designated place, rather than attempting to stay motivated at home. By joining our Optimal Movement classes, you not only benefit from a carefully curated fitness program but also from the accountability and motivation that come with having a dedicated time and place for your workouts. This ensures that your commitment to a healthier lifestyle becomes a tangible and achievable reality, creating a routine that you can stick to with ease in a space where you feel safe and supported.
But it’s not all serious business! Joining an Optimal Movement class is also about the joy of socialising, meeting new people, and forming lasting friendships. It’s a chance to share stories, laughter, and experiences, making your fitness journey not just beneficial but enjoyable.
