Exercise Spaces
Refitting, equipping, and commissioning exercise spaces.
The WellMark team have been involved in running exercise programmes for older adults for nearly twenty years. This has not been confined to commercial gym and exercise facilities. Since 2015 we have been involved in various projects in retirement villages, including:
· developing and implementing exercise programmes in a variety of retirement village settings
· reviewing existing exercise spaces and equipment and managing the upgrade of same
· re-purposing spaces into new gyms and equipping them with an appropriate range of quality equipment
· providing assessment and tuition for residents to use their gym spaces and equipment safely and successfully
‘We already have an exercise space – we don’t need anything else.’
We understand that many villages have a dedicated gym space and equipment. Unfortunately, it is our experience that many of these facilities are not really fir for purpose and are not welcoming to residents. Frequently, our discussions with residents reveal a wish to get fitter, but a reluctance or lack of confidence to use the existing facility and equipment.
How can WellMark help?
We visit your site, examine your existing facilities and equipment, talk to management and residents, and then work with you to design and implement upgrades and improvements. We help to screen residents who want to use the exercise space and take them through basic safety protocols and exercise programming.
How much?
Our consultancy and training services commence from $3960 + GST; this includes advice on any equipment upgrades required and recommendations for refurbishment of exercise spaces.
