Improve Your Balance and Mobility in a Friendly Environment

Steady as You Go is an evidence-based falls prevention programme that helps Kiwi seniors maintain independence and confidence through regular exercise. These community classes are perfect for anyone looking to:

• Reduce the risk of falls and related injuries
• Build strength in a supportive, non-intimidating environment
• Enhance mobility and coordination
• Connect with others in your community

Each session focuses on practical movements that help with everyday activities. The peer-led approach means exercises are demonstrated by members of your own community who understand your needs.

Regular participation in balance-focused exercise programmes like Steady as You Go has been shown to significantly reduce falls risk by up to 30% among older adults. The social aspect of these classes also contributes to improved mental wellbeing and reduced feelings of isolation.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothes and supportive footwear. You're welcome to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session.
