The City of Melville developed a video for over 55s to encourage physical activity as well as a dedicated Fit for Life webpage to promote a variety of targeted exercise classes and a comprehensive directory of local health and fitness community groups within the City of Melville.
The City also created a subsidised ‘Fit for Life’ membership. The membership includes the gym and pool, tennis courts, personalised fitness programs, and ongoing support. Membership fees are reduced as people age providing a bigger incentive for people to stay fit for life!
The City has a variety of exercise programs developed for older adults including:
The MyWellness app complements fitness programs at the City of Melville LeisureFit centres. Users receive an individual assessment as a starting point, allowing a trainer to create a personalised workout program. The app helps users access their personalised program and is designed to keep lifestyle data in one place.
