WORKING OUT IN A SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IS A FUN WAY TO INCREASE YOUR MOTIVATION AND IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START.
You might think that Tweedals is an unusual name for a seniors’ fitness group but read on and you will discover what a professional fun fitness club it is.
Tweedals is not your usual fitness club. It was established more than 8 years ago at Tweed Hospital to conduct fitness classes for participants from 50 years plus. More than 6 years ago Jane Cooney, a Certified Stage 3 fitness instructor and Certified Stage 4 personal trainer relocated the fitness classes as a sub-club of South Tweed Sports Club and that is where Jane’s classes take place every Monday at 1.30 pm and every Friday at 10.30 am. Beginners and long-term participants are welcome and classes cost as little as $6.00.
One very impressive participant Peg is a long-term, 98-year-old lady who is proudly the oldest and considering her age and her constant efforts, some would say the fittest member in that age group.
Jane’s classes are varied and include Fall Prevention, Cardio, Resistance, Balance, Co-ordination, Weights, and Chair exercise. Jane’s expansive equipment collection is utilized regularly and combined with the various classes has earned positive feedback from numerous local doctors and physiotherapists.
According to class participants, in addition to the workouts to improve their quality of life, Jane’s classes are great fun. There’s music, laughter, stories and magic in her classes and every day is different but most days end up with coffee and a chat at South Tweed Sports Café. There are regular social events too.
At Tweedals there’s no sign-up, no commitment, you work at your own pace, enjoy as many breaks as you need or want, no issue if participants are away on holidays, and you can come and go as often as you like. Joining is easy, just attend any class at the scheduled time.
Long-term participant Colleen and has been part of the exercising with Jane experience for years and enjoys the total workout and of course, no one wants to miss out on coffee and chats at the South Tweed Sports Club Café after the workout.
