As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and a specialist in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, working with a variety of clients over my years…I understand the benefits of exercise and movement for EVERYBODY particularly the over 50s. When exercise is embraced, health can be improved without the need for medication! This is why our core ethos at Club Active is “Exercise is Medicine.” Because it truly is!
Helping people change the way they age was Jonathan’s motivation for starting Club Active. After operating as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Jonathan saw an opportunity to support and nurture the over 50s. According to Jonathan, only 1 in 10 Australians over the age of 50 do enough exercise to gain any cardiovascular benefit, while physical inactivity is the leading cause of death. “And given our ageing population, this is a major concern,” he says. He adds that part of the challenge is that the traditional fitness industry does not have a strong focus on health for all ages. This is why Club Active was born.
The biggest barriers for over 50s going to the gym was the intimidation factor, not knowing what to do and needing a sense of community. Jonathan has worked in the industry for years and has witnessed how important a safe, fun and non-intimidating environment is to support our over 50s community. We are so proud to be the first fully-equipped gym and allied health clinic to offer exactly this.
Working closely with GP’s and other medical professionals to develop chronic disease management plans and exercise prescriptions tailored to individual needs, many of which are covered by healthcare rebates.
