Notes.

  1.  ​All activities have functional fitness components where staff encouragement and assistance is important. 
  2. The fitness evaluation is a circuit of 5 exercises, covering aerobic capacity, core fitness, balance, hand eye coordination, and mobility, done for one minute each. Groups rotate and the activities are finished in approximately 30 minutes. Results are tabulated and given to agencies. We will provide analysis of change over time if requested.  
  3. ParQ form—We request this is filled out for each consumer, but it is not compulsory. However we do require a summary of any special needs or conditions that we need to factor into our classes, from both a health and physical limitation perspective.  ​

Attendance. 

  1. Upbeat attitude.  We have a participation rate of over 90% because we create a warm inviting environment where Agency Staff actively promote the idea of fun and fitness, and its benefits. 
  2. For team activities we use pinnies and though they are available, we recommend purchasing your own for health reasons. (Three colors, 10 of each is sufficient). 
  3. Water. Please bring water to EVERY class regardless of outside temperature. For many consumers this is the most physically active they will be at any time during the week, and hydration is vitally important as they reach or stretch beyond their comfort level. ​
