Give your brain a workout!

Brain Fit

Brain Fit for Life™ is a 5-week series of classes, each one-and-a-half hours in length. Each class builds on the previous session and takes you through, step-by-step, all you need to know about the brain and the way it works to support a sharp memory.

Memory strategies are taught and practised in class through a variety of activities accompanied by a lot of laughter! There are new courses starting on Wednesday, 1st August and Thursday, 2nd August.

At the completion of your class you will:
- Have covered and practised the 6 key memory skills
- Understand how memory works for you
- Gain confidence through knowing how to apply the important strategies
- Become aware of the many ways you can use your new skills.
- Gain some new friends in the group and with your Coach
- Receive on-going reminders of the strategies you have learned and the challenges you need to keep your brain and memory working at peak for you.

The full course of 5 seminars costs just $150. So if you like learning in a group, join a class and sharpen your mind, practise new skills, control how your memory works for you, and have fun!
