Strength for life

banner-strength-for-lifeThe Strength for life program promotes health and well-being amongst people over 50 through strength training programs run by accredited fitness providers.
The program encourages senior Territorians to attend strength training sessions by promoting the benefits  of strength training to people over 50.

About strength for life

The Strength for Life program is intent on continuous improvement, so COTA has introduced 2 categories to Strength for Life:
  • Tier 1 involves exercise physiologists directly in the program; baseline testing conducted at commencement and after 3 months. Attracts rebates from Health Funds (and sometimes from Medicare).
  • Tier 2 involves fitness instructors conducting the program and confidently managing participants’ long term needs. Some funds now pay benefits if program is conducted by fitness instructors.
