It’s never too late to lead a healthy lifestyle with Gold Fit

We offer exercise classes for seniors at The Y Ellerslie Recreation Centre because we truly believe people of all ages should be active.

Gold Fit is for people over 60 who want to stay active, independent, and have fun in a social environment. We welcome over 60s from all walks of life – whether you used to be a sporting superstar or you’re just looking to improve your strength and flexibility in your golden years.

Our exercise professionals will set you up with your own exercise programme, and you can also take part in the group warm ups and cool downs – not to mention some fantastic activities including outdoor adventures and group outings. If balance and co-ordination is something you would like to work on, you can also try our Tai Chi and Pilates classes. The Y Ellerslie Recreation Centre takes exercise classes for seniors seriously – but we also make sure you’ll enjoy yourself while you work your way to a healthier tomorrow. Why? Because you’re gold.
