At Heartrack we understand that you want to remain independent and active as long as possible.  You want to enjoy life – play with the grandchildren, travel, play golf and take care of yourself without help for as long as possible.

Heartrack offers 'Steady Steps' group and personal exercise sessions specifically designed for 50 plus clientele to improve upper and lower body strength, balance, flexibility and co-ordination.  Classes cater for all levels of health and fitness from beginners to advanced.  We understand the limitations and special needs of those with illnesses, disabilities, chronic disorders and sedentary lifestyles.
