The Importance of Healthy Bones

Learn More About Osteoporosis Classes
These osteoporosis exercise classes are uniquely tailored to improve bone density and strength, with one of the key objectives being to reduce the risk of fall, the main reason for injury-related hospital admissions.
Utilising a combination of resistance-based and impact-loading exercises, the class implements research that demonstrates that ‘loading’ the bones in a safe and appropriate manner promotes an increase in bone building hormones, once considered to be impossible.
Our classes, which will teach you how to strengthen bones and provide you with the best exercise for osteoporosis, are one hour in duration and are available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.

About Group Classes
Group classes are social, fun and proven to drive results quicker. Whilst you work out in a group environment, each participant is working to their own individualised program, that is crafted to suit their own ability. It is therefore necessary that you first undertake an initial assessment, so that a member of our health professionals team is able to tailor a program unique to you.

Client testimonials
Having been a member of Atkins Health for about 18 months now, I can clearly feel the benefits of a regular, consistent and supervised program. The osteoporosis group program has been very beneficial not only helping me become stronger but also seemingly assisting to maintain my bone density. The instruction and support I receive with Atkins Health is excellent!

I have used Atkins Health for particular injuries and achieved great success by following the particular plan devised for the specific injuries. I found the positive attitude and encouragement given by Atkins personnel played an important part in my recovery. Attending Low Impact classes at Runaway Bay, keeps me active and in touch with instructors who keep an eye on my overall development.
