In a major step toward inclusive fitness, Elossa Fitness, a local circuit-based gym for over 60’s, has launched Your Pace, a new membership option designed specifically for older adults who require individualised exercise programs. 

This initiative supports those who may struggle to keep pace in group circuits or have unique health needs—such as post-surgery recovery, Parkinsons disease, low bone density, cognitive impairment, frailty and risk of falls, poor mobility, severe arthritis, chronic pain, and other complex and chronic conditions. Participants benefit from expert guidance provided by qualified exercise physiologists.

Recognising that traditional group circuit training can sometimes be too demanding or unsuitable for certain individuals, Elossa Fitness developed Your Pace to deliver safe, effective, and personalised exercise programmes. Each program is carefully designed and supervised by Elossa’s team of exercise physiologists, ensuring every member progresses at their own comfort level while achieving meaningful results.

“Many older adults want to stay active and healthy but face barriers in conventional gym settings,” said Dean Towers (Managing Exercise Physiologist). “Your Pace removes those barriers, offering expert support for people who need a slower pace or more focused attention on rehabilitation and higher needs.”

While the gym’s facilities remain circuit-based—encouraging cardiovascular fitness and strength through varied exercise stations—members in the Your Pace program can opt out of group sessions and instead complete tailored routines at their own pace under professional supervision. This approach prioritises safety, confidence, and gradual improvement.

Early feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive. 

Denise, a Your Pace member since its inception, shared: “With the support and attentiveness of the staff, I feel comfortable and not pressured or pushed to go beyond my needs or capabilities. I have become more confident - I don’t use my walker, just my stick when I’m out. Overall, a great improvement which I never thought  possible”. 

Patrick referred by his cardiologist has also experienced remarkable results since joining in February: “Whilst quite challenging at first, I have progressed extremely well. My gait, balance and general strength and overall wellbeing have all improved significantly along with my regular blood tests which have also showed marked improvement.”

The Your Pace membership aligns with broader efforts to promote healthy ageing and physical independence among older adults, reinforcing that fitness is never one-size-fits-all.

Those interested in learning more about this individualised exercise program for older adults can call 0468 357 720 to have a chat to one of the expert team, arrange a tour or book in for an Initial Assessment.
