Exercise / fitness programs

 

Physical activity is the second most important factor in disease prevention after quitting smoking. Regular exercise is vital to good health. A workforce that is physically active can benefit your organisation by being more productive, having fewer injuries and reducing absenteeism. The exercise and fitness programs offered through the LGIS Health and Wellbeing Program aim to provide your workers with motivation as well as the skills and techniques to stay physically healthy in the long term.

All exercise and fitness programs are run by qualified exercise physiologists or sports scientists and can be completed indoor or outdoor with all equipment provided.  Pre-screening is conducted to determine whether workers need a physician's referral before starting an exercise program. Thus identifying workers for whom exercise training would be inappropriate, unsafe or require modifications made based on physical limitations.

Individual exercise programs

We can provide your workers with a personalised exercise program based on their individual goals and / or physical work requirements. This allows workers to be provided with direction and support to take control of their fitness and health.

Group exercise classes

A variety of exercise classes are available and classes can be tailored to all fitness levels.

  • Yoga / stretch and flex
  • Pilates
  • Strength / aerobic circuit
  • Boxing
  • Core / abdominal strengthening
  • Boot camp
  • Running groups
  • Pre-start stretching program
