What to expect

We start with a free 45-minute assessment of strength, posture and the tasks that already feel heavy. From there, every visit follows the same rhythm: a check-in and safety review, 40-50 minutes of progressive resistance and bone-loading work using bands, light dumbbells and your own body weight, then a cool-down and a plain-language recap. Loads rise only when the movement looks steady and comfortable, and everything has a seated option.

First 5–10 minutes for check-in, next 40–50 minutes for the program, last 5–10 minutes for cool-down and the recap.

  1. First 5–10 minutes

    Check-in and safety review

    The trainer asks about sleep, pain, medication changes, and anything that happened since the last visit — a stumble, a hospital appointment, a bad night. Blood pressure or steadiness is checked when the plan calls for it, and the session is adjusted before a single exercise starts.

    Best for: anyone recovering from surgery, managing several medications, or having up-and-down days.

  2. Next 40–50 minutes

    The program

    Warm-up, then strength and balance work using body weight, bands and light weights, then one real-life task rehearsed properly — standing from a low sofa, stairs, carrying groceries. Everything can be done seated, and the trainer logs sets, reps and effort as you go.

    Best for: building steadier walking, stronger legs, and confidence with daily tasks.

  3. Last 5–10 minutes

    Cool-down and what's next

    Gentle stretching and breathing, a plain-language recap of what went well, one thing to practise before the next visit, and the written report the client and approved family members receive — usually within a few hours.

    Best for: families who want to know how the visit actually went without having to be there.
