🏋️‍♀️ Do you want to improve your fitness? 🏃‍♂️

The Kanyiny Mooditj (Keeping Solid) program is starting a new fitness and education group this month.

Every Tuesday morning, you can enjoy a fitness session with an Exercise Physiologist from Maximum Results , followed by an education and yarning session.

To take part, each person will need to do a basic fitness assessment so we can tailor it to your needs.

SWAMS can support you with transport to the assessment and the group sessions if you need it. 🙌

ℹ To learn more or sign up, have a yarn with your SWAMS GP or the Chronic Condition Teams on (08) 9726 6000.
