Some of the local fitness activities that we’ve seen popular with seniors:
Curves at Keperra (women only) (Can anyone comment on what is available at other local gyms for seniors?)
U3A’s Strong People Stay Young classes at Ferny Hills Fishing Clubrooms (for U3A members)
The Hills PCYC’s gym has senior’s membership discounts and a period from 10am-2pm when the use of the gym is at senior’s rates and it is quiet. Strength exercises one of the best exercises!
Walking in pairs walking the dog walking groups locally. Look on the Recreation Forum to find more links to local walking groups.
Dancing classes at The Hills Community Centre in Dawson Parade on Thursday nights (beginners intermediate and advanced)
Line dancing at Arana Leagues Club and there are local teachers (see the Recreation Community Directory and Forum for more details).
Bushcare groups clearing weeds doing bush regeneration doing bird frog and glider surveys planting trees – these are very popular with seniors.
Gardening clubs (See Recreation Forum). There are several in our area (Ferny Grove Garden Club The Hills District and Bunya Garden Club) and The Hills District Community Garden Group (for all the suburbs in this valley).
Swimming at Ferny Hills Swimming Pool or at Grovely State School where they have a swimming club.
