Our most popular small group class, Squad Atkins is not just suited to improve your general fitness, strength and mobility, but the program can be specifically tailored to target any of those niggling ailments that come our way, such as strains, sprains and pains. With a dedicated exercise physiologist monitoring your technique and progress, this semi-private class is a sure-fire way of ensuring that you get results in the most efficient and effective manner. If you ever experience any discomfort from conditions such as tendonitis, joint pain, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and the list goes on, then this class is the one for you.

Over 66% of Australians aged over 50 are impacted by osteopenia, osteoporosis, or poor bone health in general. Our Bone Society group class is specifically designed to improve bone density and strength, which in turn reduces the risk of falls, one of the major reasons for hospital admissions. Combining resistance based and impact loading exercises, the class utilises new research that provides us with an understanding that loading the bones in a safe and appropriate manner will actually promote the increase of bone building hormones, previously thought impossible.

Our osteoporosis classes run for one hour and are available at our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.

Our popular group recreation classes are designed to improve your general fitness in a fun and inclusive social environment, and include an element of sport or group activity such as basketball, handball or walking.

This class can be attended by individuals of any ability, but is best suited to individuals living with a disability.

Limited to a maximum group size of six, our group recreation classes are held at our Runaway Bay clinic located in the Gold Coast Performance Centre, a world class sporting venue with a wide range of equipment and facilities.

Previously run by the Queensland Government, our years of experience have resulted in the continued development of Mission MS, our group classes specifically designed to enrich the lives of those impacted by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Mission MS combines the benefits of balance, co-ordination, strength and endurance based exercises to raise the bar of the participants’ function and capabilities. This class aims to reduce the degradation of MS, and by increasing the participants’ baseline fitness and capabilities, relapses are much less debilitating. Our clients not only benefit greatly from the exercise program, but also love the camaraderie and social environment that this class offers. 

Mission MS group classes are available at our Varsity Lakes clinic.

A specifically designed class for all levels of participants suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, this program is the largest of its kind on the Gold Coast.

The program aims to improve gait, reduce freezing episodes, improve balance, improve fine motor skills, delay the need to increase drug treatment and ultimately regain confidence and independence. PD Revolution comprises land and hydro based exercises through individual and group settings.

PD Revolution classes are available at both our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.
