Falling over isn’t part of the aging process

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Would you use an app to dob in a mobility park abuser?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Serial abusers who nip into an empty mobility car park "just for a sec" will soon face much more pressure over their selfishness.

CCS Disability Action has launched a free new app - Access Aware - that lets anyone dob in mobility car park abusers anywhere in NZ.

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!


Tomorrow (April 3) at Fitclub at the Hub we're kicking off our second 8-Week Fitness Challenge for 2018.


Our 8-Week Challenges are a way for us to challenge ourselves to achieve the body transformation so many of us are aiming for.


Here's how it works: we weigh in, measure body fat and muscle mass, and take a set of measurements during the first week of the challenge; attend as many Fitclub sessions as possible over the eight weeks; work on brushing up our nutrition at the same time; encourage each other both in person and in our Facebook group; and at the end of the eight weeks we collect the same data and check out how far we've come!


We've decided on a twist this time - there will be a $10 entry fee for this round of the challenge which will become the prize pool for our top achievers! All funds will be returned to the participants. Class tomorrow (April 3) will be free, just pay your entry fee - you can still join the challenge and pay your entry fee by Saturday April 7 but normal class fee of $2 will apply on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday as well.


Come join a great group of motivated, friendly local women in a fun, kid-friendly environment and get started on your fitness goals! We have four sessions each week including Boxfit Tuesdays, Zumba Wednesdays, HIIT It Thursdays, and #SweatSaturday. Snacks and toys available for kiddos.


All welcome- all ages, bodies, fitness goals and abilities - participation in the challenge is not compulsory either, casual visits welcome! No need to book.


Check us out on Facebook (Fitclub at the Hub) to learn more about our fab community fitness group. We'd love to meet you!


<3 Carly, Tash and Rachel - the Fitclub Girls
