GETTING back into exercise can feel daunting. Give yourself the best chance of achieving your goals by choosing a fitness centre that understands your needs.

Generation Active classes at Aquamoves are designed for those aged 60+ or people who might have mobility or confidence concerns stopping them from being fit and active.

For Wally Hudson, who is 72 years old, Aquamoves group fitness classes have given him a new lease on life. Wally has visited the facility for the past six years and in that time, he has lost almost 30 kilograms.

“I would say that I am the fittest I have been since I was 35,” he said. “I’m almost back to the same weight I was when I was playing footy.”

Over 60s fitness instructor Lyn Davidson took Wally “under her wing” when he started group fitness with his late wife Marg and good friend Ray. After losing his wife to cancer and seeing his friend undergo a triple bypass, Wally considered his own health and ways to improve his quality of life.

Wally said, “All the staff are terrific, and they make you feel welcome, which is half the battle. The people here are fairly health conscious and the clientele are here for the same reasons you are – to improve their body and their life.”
