Active Adults is an exercise physiology group program delivered by CPA’s ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP). 

Our inclusive group programs promote improved health and well-being using exercise and physical activity. You will have the opportunity to develop strength and fitness in a safe, fun and friendly environment.  

Erina’s Tuesday program is specifically designed for boys and men ONLY aged 16-21 years. This program follows the same activity and outcome criteria as Active Adults. The groups are kept small so participants build strong friendships as a result of participation. 

Canberra’s Active Adults program offers two different types of sessions, one with support and one as an independent exercise program. The timings of these sessions vary, please contact us to learn more about what program suits your needs and goals. 

Note: All Active Adult programs run in line with NSW school term dates with individual assessments being held during school holidays. 

What does it involve?

  • Group exercise sessions (typically 1 EP: 3-4 participants) 
  • Fun and interactive group activities 
  • A tailored individualised exercise program designed to meet functional and health-related goals. 
  • Development of a home exercise program to ensure that health patterns are continued outside of the clinic environment and incorporated into weekly routines. 
  • Delivery of sessions at available CPA centre

What are the outcomes?

Each participant will have access to an individualised exercise program tailored to specific goals and needs. The potential benefits of regular structured exercise include: 

Who is the program for?

  • Adults aged 21 years and over 
  • Erina’s Tuesday program is suitable for boys/men aged 16-21 years
  • Participants looking to increase their health and fitness in a group environment
