Positive Ageing - Exercise at the Stadium

Regular exercise is vital to maintain the best possible health as we age and Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 is very user-friendly for older people.

The gymnasium and pool have facilities and classes suited to older age groups including people with restricted movement and agility.

• Aqua-gentle classes in the pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10.00 am will help strengthen muscles and improve balance. This is a low-impact class of water aerobics, in chest-deep water.
• Aquacise classes in the pool are held four mornings a week at 9.15 am.
• At the gym, the Living Fit class is designed for people who want to get more active but, at the same time, exercise at their own pace.

 

Free assessments are available with qualified instructors at the gym and there is no joining fee.

There are various Stadium membership options but the best value for anyone wanting to make good use of the facilities is to join for a year.

Annual membership offers full use of the gym, aquatics classes, group fitness plus sauna and steam room - all for $15 a week.

Alternatively, a year’s membership, giving entry to aquatics classes with sauna and steam room OR the gym with a group fitness class, comes down to $12.50 a week.

For people who are exercising several times a week, or more, it means the cost is just a few dollars per session.

Regular admission price for senior citizen (65+) or community services card holder: Swim $4.50.
