Functional Longevity

Many of our new members come to us feeling fatigued, having stopped prioritising their own health and wellbeing after decades of putting work, career and family first. From the loss of flexibility to weak and fatiguing muscles, the years have a way of sneaking up. The good news is, no matter your age, you can reclaim your strength and fitness at any age.

Regaining lost muscle is key to ageing well

The most overlooked aspect of ageing is the steady loss of muscle—and it starts earlier than most people think. From around age 30, both men and women begin losing muscle, and by their 50’s, the impact can be hard to ignore. Strength, mobility, and energy start to slip. Activity drops, muscles weaken, and bone density declines. There is a simple fix…

Strength training is your super power

You can regain lost muscle by doing 2-3 strength sessions a week. This in turn preserves the density of your bones, boosts your metabolism and decreases your risk of falling.

A moment more for strength training. Lifting weights also helps control blood sugar and blood pressure, assists in managing arthritis pain and lowers heart disease health risks. It even improves your mood, cognitive processes and general brain health.

Lift weights, it’s the single best thing you can do to age positively.
