OUR OVER 50s CLASSES
STAY STRONG AND INDEPENDENT FOR LIFE
MAX 8 PER CLASS
45 MINS
Our Over 50s classes are 45-minute, low-impact strength sessions for adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.
Classes are capped at 8 people, so a trainer watches every rep and adapts each exercise to your joints, injuries and fitness level.
Best Life Fitness is a private boutique studio at 207 Old South Head Rd, Bondi. We're led by Julie Stern, a Corrective Exercise Specialist with 18 years' experience as a personal trainer. Helping people over 50 stay strong, mobile and pain-free is what we do every day.
Whether you've never been to a gym, are returning after years off, or are managing an old injury, you'll start at your level and build from there.
-
PROTECT YOUR BONES. Bone density naturally declines with age, especially for women after menopause. Weight-bearing and resistance exercise is one of the best ways to slow that loss and lower your risk of osteoporosis
-
KEEP YOUR MUSCLE. We gradually lose muscle as we age unless we use it. Regular strength training helps you keep the muscle you need to lift, carry, climb stairs and get up off the floor.
-
IMPROVE YOUR BALANCE. Better balance, coordination and leg strength mean fewer falls and more confidence on your feet, whether you're on the beach, the coastal walk or stepping off a bus.
-
EASE BACK AND JOINT PAIN. Strengthening your core, hips and the muscles around your spine can reduce lower back pain and stiffness. Julie's corrective exercise approach targets the movement patterns behind it.
-
MANAGE YOUR WEIGHT. Combining strength and cardio in every class builds muscle and burns energy, helping with healthy, sustainable weight loss.
