CHURCHES OF CHRIST SENIORS GET ACTIVE WITH ONE RESIDENT CELEBRATING HER 500TH GYM VISIT

Exercise is an essential aspect of everyone’s health and wellbeing, however, it becomes even more important as we age. Seniors can experience many benefits from a regular exercise routine; from disease prevention, improved mental health, a reduced risk of falls, developing social connections, and maintaining cognitive function. Churches of Christ is dedicated to helping their aged care residents live active and healthy lifestyles, and have seven gyms with HUR equipment across their aged care services. Four additional services are equipped with exercise machines that residents can use.

Adele Camp, Allied Health Advisor, said that it’s fantastic to see so many residents getting active:

“Many people in our senior communities love attending the gym, we have hundreds of members signed up and participating which is wonderful to see.”

“Our physiotherapists have developed personalised exercise programs using the HUR gym equipment that cater to individual resident needs and goals.”

Bucks Gym at Buckingham Gardens Aged Care Service at Alexandra Hills has a successful and bustling gym, with many long term users who have seen some outstanding benefits from regular workouts on the special equipment. “Buckingham Gardens resident, Beryl, has been attending the gym for an inspirational six years. While she took a break during the pandemic, she is now back to her regular routine and is looking forward to celebrating her 500th visit soon.” Adele explains residents Lenard and Muriel have both seen immense benefits to their physical wellbeing as a result of using the HUR gym equipment.

“When Lenard first moved into Buckingham Gardens, he needed a wheelchair when walking outdoors as he experienced shortness of breath. After attending more than 70 gym sessions, his fitness has significantly improved, and he can now walk over 100 metres with his walker without any issues. “Meanwhile, Muriel has been using the lat pull machine for strength, which has helped reduce her shoulder pain. 

Churches of Christ is proud to offer innovative gyms for residents and others in our communities. Thanks to the high-quality machines, our residents can improve their health and wellbeing by staying active, and also engage in the vibrant social setting of the gyms.
