Improve Your Balance & Independence with SAYGO 💪

SAYGO classes are specifically designed for older Kiwis who want to maintain their independence and prevent falls. These gentle yet effective sessions focus on building leg strength, improving balance, and increasing overall confidence in movement.

During the hour-long class, you'll participate in a carefully structured programme that includes:

• Seated exercises to build core strength
• Standing activities to improve balance
• Walking exercises to enhance mobility
• Gentle movements that support everyday activities

SAYGO is particularly valuable for older adults as regular attendance has been shown to reduce the risk of falls by up to 30%. The supportive group environment creates a social atmosphere where participants can meet others while working on their fitness goals.

The classes are run by trained facilitators who understand the needs of older adults and can modify exercises to suit individual abilities. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to stay active, SAYGO provides a safe and effective exercise option.

Don't wait until after a fall to focus on your balance – join our SAYGO class and take a proactive approach to your wellbeing. 🌟
