Our Group Classes

At Summit Health Group, our Group Classes are designed to help you improve strength, mobility, confidence and long-term wellbeing in a supportive, small-group environment. Each class is led by an experienced Exercise Physiologist and follows an evidence-based structure tailored to the unique needs of every participant.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from injury, looking to improve bone health, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more active, our group programs offer a safe and personalised way to achieve your health and fitness goals. Our classes are welcoming, structured and designed for people of all ages and abilities.

We understand that exercising alone can feel overwhelming or intimidating—especially if you’re unsure which exercises are safe or effective for your condition. Group classes provide the motivation, guidance and social connection that can make your fitness journey more enjoyable and sustainable.

Initial Assessment: Your First Step

To ensure your safety and determine which class best suits your needs, we recommend an Initial Assessment before joining. This session includes:

• health screening and medical review

   

• movement, strength and balance assessment

   

• goal setting

   

• discussion of any injuries, pain or limitations

   

• explanation of class options and recommendations

   

This helps us tailor exercises to your abilities and ensures you join the most appropriate class for your goals.

All exercise plans are based on current research and clinical guidelines—especially important for clients with chronic conditions, osteoporosis or injury history.
