Living Longer Living Stronger Program (LLLS)
The Curtin Fitness Centre is an endorsed provider of the Council on the Ageing Western Australia (COTA) Living Longer Living Stronger Program (LLLS).
The LLLS initiative was developed by COTA to encourage people over fifty into strength training programs to help address health issues common among the aged. COTA WA’s Living Longer Living Stronger™ program has more than 6,000 people over 50 enrolled across WA who participate at over 70 locations in individually supervised strength training programs.
Research shows that strength training for older people acts to build muscle strength and increase bone density to improve an individual's strength, balance, gait, flexibility and coordination. Seniors taking the LLLS program often comment that they feel energised, their mobility has improved, aches and pains have decreased and they are more confident on their feet.
The Living Longer Living Stronger group sessions at the Curtin Fitness Centre run throughout the week with participants attending two sessions a week. All sessions are supervised by a member of our great team of Staff to support and assist clients with their exercise needs. Cost is $55 for the one-off consultation (this is required to screen each client and then design a suitable exercise program). The client can then commence attending the group sessions for a cost of $6 per session. We encourage you to join independently or with a family member or friend.
If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact Liz Watson (9266-7052) or George Larcher (0401-103-934) for any queries or to organise a viewing of one of the session. You're never too old to commence strength training so get involved in this fantastic program and experience the great health and fitness benefits.
