No Falls Program

The Blackwood Gymsports is excited to announce the upcoming launch of the No Falls Program! This exercise program has been specially designed for individuals aged 65 and above who are at risk of or have experienced a fall. It aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for participants to improve their strength and balance.

The No Falls Program runs for a duration of 10 weeks, during which participants will be divided into smaller groups based on their ability levels using a Tier system. This allows for a more personalised approach, as individuals with similar abilities can progress together. The program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each participant and takes place in a private air-conditioned studio, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Before starting the program, participants will undergo an assessment by a qualified Exercise Physiologist. This assessment will help determine their current ability level and tailor the program to suit their individual needs and goals. As an added benefit, participants will also receive hand-outs with basic strength and balance exercises to perform at home. Additionally, they will be provided with a weekly work-sheet to track their progress and ensure consistency with their exercises.

The main objective of the No Falls Program is to prevent falls through mentorship and encouragement. By offering a supportive environment and personalised approach, participants can improve their strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls and improving their overall confidence in day-to-day activities.

To kickstart your journey towards a fall-free lifestyle, all you need to do is book an initial assessment at the Blackwood Recreation Centre. Our friendly staff will guide you through the process and provide all the necessary information to get you started. The next program is set to launch in September 2023, so mark your calendars and take that first step towards a healthier and more confident you.

Remember to wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear for your assessment and classes. We understand the importance of feeling comfortable and safe while exercising, and we want to ensure that each participant has the best experience possible.

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to improve your strength, balance, and overall well-being. Join us at the No Falls Program by Blackwood Gymsports and take control of your future. We can't wait to welcome you into our supportive community!
