Cockburn Healthy Lifestyle Service

I have really enjoyed taking part in yoga and Pilates and other exercise classes and getting expert advice from the exercise physiologist. My knees and hips are painful and I need help finding exercises that are appropriate from my age and stage.

Everyone is in the same boat. We are all middle aged with the same sort of health concerns. 
The classes are a great place to make new friends and some of the classes have become strong friendship groups supporting each other outside the classes to reach their health and well-being  goals. 

The exercises and advice are all designed for middle aged people which is great. It is very difficult to find appropriate advice in gyms where the emphasis is on a younger demographic.

I have gained so much more from joining the various programs. Not only has my strength and fitness improved, I have also become a lot more confident in how to exercise. I find exercising in groups much better than on your own as everyone encourages each other. Through the classes I have met so many people and made a lot of new friends, regularly catching up for lunches or coffees after class. One of the things I have found particularly useful is having access to dieticians and exercise physiologists, so we have up to date information on healthy eating and exercise. My whole life has changed for the better since joining Cockburn’s Healthy Lifestyle Service and I really can’t believe how lucky we are to have this service available.

I am 76 and I was told by a friend about the Cockburn Healthy Lifestyle Service and decided to give it a go. I am so glad I did. I wanted to lose weight and improve my fitness. The programs offered were educational and physical and the staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. I have been able to achieve my goals. Interacting with other people made the programs an enjoyable time and as a bonus, I now have made some new friends. I have highly recommended the programs to some of my existing friends, who have joined in and are also showing the benefits of the sessions. You are never too old to start.

Thank you Cockburn Healthy Lifestyle Service.

I have enjoyed the group fitness and gym programs on offer which have helped me to maintain my fitness and level of activity. The regular fitness checks and new activity updates are always something to look forward to. I will recommend this service to anyone for these reasons.
