Health & wellbeing programmes

Our Renfrewshire network of clubs is an opportunity for older adults (predominantly age 65+) to meet people, socialise and laugh whilst investing in their physical and mental health through life-affirming wellbeing projects.

 

Otago Classes (Strength & Balance exercises)

£3 / Venues throughout Renfrewshire

Healthy body, healthy mind. Exercise is key to staying well in later life. OTAGO classes are gentle exercises designed for older adults to improve your strength and balance which will help to keep you mobile.  

The Otago Exercise Programme was designed by the University of Otago Medical School in New Zealand specifically to prevent falls in older people. It consists of a set of leg muscle strengthening and balance retraining exercises, progressing in difficulty, and a walking plan. These classes are the ideal way to keep active, retrain those muscles, meet people and make fitness fun. Gentle exercise has as much benefits as rigorous workouts and is a great way to feel energised and active.
