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."
My name is Ell, I have been a resident of the Macarthur all of my life and just like you I have watched our quiet country area grow and develop. These days it is a little harder to keep track of life, events, activities and friends due to the current pace of the world and the many ways we are now able to receive information.
I have been working with people of all ages from many walks of life for the past 30years. Now in my fabulous fifties, I find myself extremely passionate and driven to assist, encourage and inspire all Seniors to enjoy the best retirement has to offer. I can’t explain how excited I am working with and alongside the Seniors of our community.
I am aware and have witnessed, for many Seniors the so called rest and relax, enjoy yourself years are difficult, worrying and can cause much anxiety. For the most part these feelings started as a smaller issue and due to no resolve, poor or lack of communication or simply not the care required have grown to be quite a consuming burden that can exhaust a person which in turn can effect one's health which leads to decreased participation in activities and socialization. All these factors then start to deteriorate ones physical health thus ones personal independence and dignity can be challenged so then stubbornness sets in. Our Seniors are of a generation that have had to dig deep in tough times and have done so without complaint, but unfortunately to age gracefully, at times you do need to ask for help. Yes, you may have a wonderful network of friends or family, but sometimes it is just nice to know that there is actually a committed team that honours your happiness and existence and desires to make a positive difference in your golden years.
Please help our team keep all Seniors proactive in life and the community to maximize socialization.
All our classes are a part of our COTA 'Living Longer Living Stronger' Series designed to tick everyones exercise choices!

50+ Boxing, Strength & Fitness Session (Tuesdays 11 - 11:40am)
Cost: $10
As you age, it's important to stay physically active. Boxing is an exciting sport that helps you maintain and even improve your physical ability. When you train for boxing, you strengthen the muscles of your upper body, such as your chest, shoulders and triceps that help you punch. Your legs get stronger because they develop the power for your punches.
Boxing is a fast-moving sport, and you need to react quickly to dodge and throw punches. Training as a boxer will improve your reflexes and hand-eye coordination. You'll also improve your ability to balance because boxers need to maintain their center of gravity to throw effective punches.
Even those with from age-related diseases, like Parkinson's, can get in on the action.
