Geri-Fit seniors exercise class

Geri-Fit is a friendly, low‑impact exercise class designed especially for people aged 60 and over. Classes are held at local City of Swan libraries and community venues, making them easy to access and welcoming for beginners. Exercises can be done sitting or standing and use light hand weights (around 1 kg), so you can work at your own pace in a safe environment.

Regular Geri-Fit sessions help build strength, improve balance and increase flexibility. These benefits support everyday activities like walking, standing up from a chair and carrying shopping, which can help you stay independent for longer. The gentle movements also support joint health and can reduce the risk of falls over time.

Just as important, Geri-Fit is a social activity. Exercising with others in a relaxed group setting can lift your mood, boost confidence and help you feel connected to your local community. Classes are free, but bookings are required as places are limited.
