Our LivingStronger program is designed for older adults who are wanting to start exercise for the first time, returning to exercise after a long break or injury, or are looking for a more gentle approach to group fitness classes.
LivingStronger offers all the benefits of our Activate program, and is perfect for older adults with limited mobility who are looking to exercise in a fun and social environment. LivingStronger classes run at Caulfield Recreation Centre and Bentleigh Seniors Club. Bentleigh Seniors Club is located at 2 Arthur street, Bentleigh, 3204.

No Show Policies
The following policy applies to members who use the group fitness programs across all Glen Eira Leisure facilities:
Cancellation
If you’re unable to attend your class, please cancel your booking at least two hours before the class starts. Most classes have waiting lists, so we would like to be able to give as much notice to others if a position in the class becomes available.

Within reason, if a member is consistently not attending a booked class (without cancelling), they may have their online booking access temporarily removed. Warnings and notice will be given before any action is taken.
If this happens, members are still able to book classes at reception and all existing bookings will remain.
Unexpected circumstances
We understand that sometimes you need to cancel out of class within two hours of it beginning.
In these cases, please call 9575 7100 and press 1 to let our membership team know.
