The 'Gold Fit' programme is designed to provide a fun and enjoyable environment in which older adults (55+) are encouraged to remain physically and mentally active. It is a holistic approach to improving the health and well being of our adult population.
Our 5 exercise classes per week fulfil not only our participant’s health and activity needs, but also their social ones.
Our classes are a great opportunity to get fit, socialise, and meet new people! A sense of humour and a great attitude will help you make the most of classes.

We offer two types of 'Gold Fit' classes: Smooth Movers and Sit’N Be Fit
Smooth Movers group exercise classes include music, fitness, balance, coordination, and fun.
Smooth Movers consists of gentle group exercise to music. The music is carefully chosen and consists of sing-a-long type songs from an era which the participants can relate to. YMCA Tauranga has been running Smooth Movers for over 15 years and at present runs 5 classes per week. Choose from indoor sessions using dance, Pilates, aerobics, yoga and stretching, or head outside and walk in some of Tauranga's most beautiful parks and gardens.
Sit and Be Fit provides group exercises whilst in a sitting position. This class has been developed by YMCA Tauranga in conjunction with Sport Bay of Plenty to address the need of 'Gold Fit' participants that had experienced falls, trauma, illness or hospitalization and lost the confidence and, in some cases, their ability to participate in Smooth Movers.
Both classes includes relaxation techniques, confidence building circuits and strengthening exercises using basic, commonplace equipment. Participants are encouraged to assist one another thereby creating a collegiate feeling within the group with positive effects on the group dynamics.
