Encouraging healthy habits, and increased fitness and mobility, the Active8 fitness programs focus on maximum results for entry-level fitness.

The Active8 Fitness program is subsidised by the Douglas Shire Council to help support bringing affordable fitness options to the Douglas Shire community.  Starting January 2022, two classes of Tai Chi and Just Start Classes will run with a booking fee of $5.50 per class (classes are $5.00 plus the system booking fee of $0.50). In the event of adverse weather conditions, fitness sessions may be cancelled – updates will be posted on Council’s Facebook Page.

All attendees must register online in advance of the sessions.

TAI CHI FOR HEALTH – Rex Smeal Park, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9am 

Tai Chi for Health is a program designed to improve balance, strength and coordination. This program suits all ages and abilities. Tai Chi is one of the most effective exercises for health of mind and body.  This class has been so well attended that we are not proud to be delivering two  Tai Chi classes a week to ensure maximum results.

If you have a disability or recovering from illness you may bring a chair and the class can be adapted to support you.
