Benefits of Community Fitness Classes
Keep Active classes offer more than just physical exercise - they provide a valuable social connection for Christchurch residents. These community-based fitness sessions are particularly beneficial for those looking to:
- Maintain mobility and independence through regular, structured exercise
- Build strength and improve balance in a safe, supervised environment
- Connect with others in your local community
- Establish healthy routines with affordable, accessible fitness options
The circuit-style format means you can work at your own pace while still enjoying the motivation of a group setting. The inclusive nature of these classes makes them perfect for adults of various fitness abilities who want to stay active without the intensity of more advanced gym workouts.
The post-workout cuppa is a Kiwi tradition that adds a special social dimension to these classes, giving participants a chance to chat and form connections that often extend beyond the fitness session itself.
For those with disabilities, the dedicated FADS class provides a tailored approach to fitness in an understanding and supportive setting, ensuring everyone has access to the physical and mental health benefits of regular exercise.
