Canterbury has a simple solution for anyone who wants to get active but doesn’t know where to start.
BE ACTIVE is suitable for people new or returning to activity, and want to have fun along the way. It is suitable for all ages (16 years and over) and levels of ability. The cost is $3 a session.
Participation in BE ACTIVE assists individuals improve their activity levels and health. In addition through the engagement with others, the programmes support an increase in community cohesion and wellbeing.
Courses feature different low-impact activities each week such as circuit, badminton, Tai Chi and Zumba, with an emphasis on fun and ‘having a go.’
All sessions are a mixture of activity and education, with speakers on subjects such as wellbeing, motivation and nutrition.
