OTAGO is a gentle, evidence-based exercise class designed to help older adults improve strength, balance, and flexibility - key factors in preventing falls and maintaining independence. Originally developed as part of a falls prevention programme, OTAGO is ideal for those who may be at risk of falling, recovering from illness or injury, or simply looking to stay active in a safe and supportive environment.
Each session focuses on controlled movements that target the lower body, helping to build muscle strength and improve coordination. Exercises are low-impact and can be adapted to suit individual needs, making the class suitable for people with long-term health conditions or those who require a more gradual approach to fitness.
Led by trained instructors, OTAGO classes offer a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where participants can build confidence, improve mobility, and enjoy the social benefits of group exercise. Whether you're new to physical activity or looking to maintain your current level of fitness, OTAGO provides a structured and supportive way to stay active and healthy.
No special equipment is needed - just comfortable clothing and a willingness to move at your own pace. Join us and take a positive step towards better balance, improved wellbeing, and greater independence.
