Fun exercise class for Older Adults in the Community
Commencing Friday 19/2/21 my Sit2Fit class will be held at MacFarlane Park Centre which is located at 19A Acheson Ave, Shirley (off Hills Rd, tucked behind Kindergarten) so staying close to the community and “Shirley you’d love to join me there”. This is a lovely venue with natural light overlooking the park with plenty of off street parking. Double bonus is that MacFarlanes on the Park Cafe is open between 9.30am-12pm on a Friday where you can get cheap and cheerful morning tea after class.
Sit2Fit
A fitness class for Strength & Balance accredited by ACC Live Stronger for Longer and is designed for +65 yet is open to anyone who struggles to get up and down off the floor as we all need some extra support at times. It’s fun, friendly and social. 45 minutes of fun exercise and then stay for a cuppa and chit chat at the cafe after.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
