Healthy Ageing Exercise Groups
Strength & Capacity Program by Nomadic EP
Keep living the life you want.
Stay strong, capable and independent as you get older.
Healthy Ageing is a structured, individualised strength and capacity program for adults who want to maintain their physical ability, confidence and independence as they get older.
Whether you’re managing a chronic health condition, noticing that everyday tasks are becoming harder, or simply wanting to maintain your strength and physical capacity, the program is built around your current ability and goals.
These programs are built around safe progression and professional oversight.
You’ll start with an individual assessment, follow your own program within a small supervised group, and reassess your progress after 12 weeks.
Who This Is For
You don’t need to be frail, injured or already struggling to benefit.
Healthy Ageing may suit you if:
-
you’re not as strong as you used to be
-
stairs, chairs or getting off the floor are becoming harder
-
you want to stay active, confident and independent
-
you want to keep travelling, gardening, golfing, walking or playing with grandchildren
-
you’ve been told you should start strength training but aren’t sure what to do
-
you’re managing arthritis, Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, previous injuries or other health conditions
-
you want more guidance and individualisation than a standard group fitness class
The goal is simple:
Build and maintain the physical capacity that allows you to keep doing the things that matter to you.
How It Works
Step 1 - Assess
Every participant begins with an individual assessment with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
We assess your current strength, balance, mobility, health history and the activities that are important to you.
This gives us a clear starting point, allows us to build your individual exercise program, and helps determine whether the group environment is the right starting point for you.
If we feel you would benefit from more individual support first, we’ll discuss this with you. In some cases, one-to-one sessions may be recommended before progressing into the group.
Initial assessment $100
Step 2 - Train
You’ll attend one supervised Healthy Ageing session each week.
Although you train alongside other people, your program is based on:
your current ability, health, goals and assessment results.
You won’t be expected to perform the same exercises or use the same weights as everyone else.
Your exercises and training loads are progressed as your capacity improves.
Step 3 - Build
Over the 12 weeks, the aim is to progressively build your strength, balance, confidence and overall physical capacity.
You’ll also be given appropriate exercise to complete independently during the week, whether that is at home, at D2E or another suitable facility.
The aim is not simply to exercise more.
It is to become stronger and more capable over time.
Step 4 - Reassess & Continue
After 12 weeks, we repeat the key parts of your initial assessment.
This allows us to compare:
where you started → what you trained → what actually improved.
Your results are then used to update your program and guide your next phase of training.
You can continue directly into your next four-week Healthy Ageing training block.
Healthy ageing isn’t a one-off program.
The aim is to keep building and maintaining your strength and capacity over the long term.

Extra Information/FAQ
Do I need gym experience? No. Your program is based on your current ability, and you’ll be shown how to perform each exercise safely. The initial assessment also helps us determine whether the group is the right starting point for you. If you need more individual support initially, we may recommend one-to-one sessions before progressing into the group.
What happens in a session? You’ll work through your own individual exercise program within a small supervised group. This is not a follow-the-leader class where everyone completes the same workout. Each person follows their own program, works at their own pace, and tracks their exercises, loads and progress from session to session. You’re free to chat and enjoy the social side of the group, but the session is structured around completing your own training with professional supervision available when you need it.
What if I miss my usual session? Your regular weekly session is reserved for you. If you can’t attend your usual session, you may attend another Healthy Ageing session during the same week where space is available. Missed sessions do not accumulate or carry over into future training blocks. If illness, injury or another medical issue prevents you from participating for an extended period, contact Nomadic EP to discuss your circumstances.
What if I have arthritis, an injury or a health condition? That does not automatically prevent you from participating. Healthy Ageing is delivered by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, so your program can be adapted around many chronic health conditions, previous injuries, pain or physical limitations. Your initial assessment helps determine what is appropriate for you and whether the group setting is the right starting point.
What happens after 12 weeks? At the end of 12 weeks, we repeat the key parts of your initial assessment and review your progress. This allows us to see what has changed, update your program and guide the next phase of your training. You can then continue directly into your next four-week Healthy Ageing training block.
Can I attend twice per week? Yes, where group capacity allows. One supervised session per week is the standard pathway, along with appropriate exercise completed independently during the week. If you would prefer more supervision, speak with Nomadic EP about adding a second weekly session.
Can Medicare or private health help with the cost? Potentially, depending on your eligibility and level of cover. Some Exercise Physiology consultations may attract a Medicare rebate when provided under an eligible GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. People with Type 2 Diabetes may also be eligible for a separate Medicare-funded group exercise pathway where the relevant requirements are met. Private health rebates for Exercise Physiology may also be available depending on your insurer and policy. These pathways have different eligibility and billing requirements from the standard Healthy Ageing program, so contact Nomadic EP if you’re unsure which option applies to you.
What should I wear or bring? Wear comfortable clothing and enclosed shoes suitable for exercise. Bring a water bottle and any medication you may need while exercising. If you have relevant medical information or a referral that we have not already received, bring that with you to your initial assessment.
