Participants have achieved an average decrease of 2.28 mmol/L in their BGL levels and an average reduction of 2% body fat over their 8 week program. Individuals in the program also improved in strength, cardiovascular fitness, balance and flexibility.

Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists are experts in prescribing exercise to manage diabetes, so you can feel safe exercising under their supervision and knowing you are doing the right exercise for your body.

Education throughout the sessions will build your understanding of the effect exercise has on the body and how to manage food consumption, exercise and blood glucose levels effectively. 

The role of social support for exercise adherence and management of health conditions is well documented. The group creates a fun and supportive environment to share experiences and learn from others managing a type 2 diagnosis.
