Where age is a requirement, a youthful outlook is essential & a positive approach to Health and Wellbeing is Priority.
Our Flexible & Fabulous members enjoyed live filming this year with Daniel Doddy from Channel 10 - "Legends."
Hello, I’m Ell — a lifelong resident of the Macarthur region, just like you. I’ve witnessed our quiet country area grow and evolve over the years. These days, with the fast pace of life and endless streams of information, it can feel harder than ever to keep up with events, activities, and stay connected with friends.
For the past 36 years, I’ve worked closely with people of all ages and backgrounds. Now, in my fabulous fifties, I’m truly passionate about supporting and inspiring our Seniors to make the most of their retirement years. Working alongside the Seniors in our community brings me immense joy and purpose.
I understand firsthand that for many Seniors, the so-called “rest and relax” years can actually be challenging, lonely, and anxiety-provoking. Often, small worries grow over time when they go unspoken or unsupported, creating a heavy burden that impacts both mental and physical health. This can lead to reduced activity and social isolation, which then affects independence and dignity. Our Seniors come from a generation that has weathered tough times with strength and quiet resilience, but aging gracefully sometimes means asking for help.
While many have wonderful friends and family, it also means a lot to have a dedicated team who truly honours your happiness and wellbeing, committed to making your golden years fulfilling and joyful.
Together, let’s keep our Seniors active, connected, and engaged—maximizing social opportunities and enriching lives every day.
All our classes are carefully designed based on the latest sports science and longevity research, developed in collaboration with allied health professionals and trusted organizations such as geriatricians, COTA (Council on the Ageing), Active & Healthy NSW, and AUSactive.
Our 50+ Series offers a variety of exercise options tailored to meet everyone’s needs and fitness goals—helping you stay strong, active, and vibrant at any age!
Proudly hosting the COTA “Living Longer, Living Stronger” program right here at The PIT.
COTA NSW is dedicated to empowering older adults through advocacy, education, and promoting an age-inclusive community.
We’re proud to be the only location in the Macarthur offering this exceptional program.
