What are diabetes exercise classes, and how do they help?
Our diabetes exercise classes in Perth are designed specifically to help people with Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes manage their condition through safe and structured physical activity. Regular exercise helps regulate blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, support weight management, and boost overall well-being.
Who can join these classes?
These classes are open to anyone looking to manage their diabetes through exercise. Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been living with diabetes for years, or prediabetes, our sessions cater to all fitness levels.
Are these classes suitable for beginners?
Yes! Our sessions are designed for all fitness levels, and exercises are tailored to meet your individual needs. You don’t need any prior experience—just a willingness to move!
How is this different from a regular exercise class?
Unlike general fitness classes, our diabetes exercise classes are led by Exercise Physiologists who specialise in diabetes management. Exercises are carefully planned to ensure blood sugar stability, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of complications.
What types of exercises are included?
Our classes include a mix of:
- Strength training to improve muscle function and insulin sensitivity.
- Cardio exercises to support heart health and glucose control.
- Balance and flexibility movements to reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
How long is each session?
Each class runs for 45 mins.
How many people are in each class?
To ensure personalised attention, our classes are small-group sessions with a maximum of three participants.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just wear comfortable workout clothes, bring a water bottle, and, if required, any glucose monitoring devices. Our team will provide any necessary equipment.
Are these classes safe for all types of diabetes?
Yes! Our classes are designed for Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetic individuals. Our Exercise Physiologists monitor and adjust exercises based on your condition.
What if I have other health conditions like high blood pressure or joint pain?
No problem! Before starting, we assess your medical history and tailor the exercises to your needs, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
What happens if I feel unwell during a session?
