OUR HURSTVILLE TEAM

Heath Jones | Director

I created Active & Ageless over 50s health club, as I believe there is a need to provide people with age adjusted health & fitness strategies to lead a better quality of life. At our club, you receive specialist trainers, as well as the appropriate equipment. In short, if we look after our bodies at any age, our lives can be so much more fulfilling and enjoyable.

Jasmine Wong | Club Manager

With a background in accounting, I transitioned in health & fitness to follow my calling. Having once been less active, I understand the challenges and obstacles to embark on a fitness journey.

I wholeheartedly believe that exercise has the power to transform lives. That is why I am committed to providing unwavering support and motivation. Together, we will celebrate every milestone achieved toward reaching your fitness goals.

Gary Ward | Trainer

I’ve been involved in sports for as long as I can remember. With qualifications in Exercise Science and Training across different sports, I have a solid grasp and real love for well-organised exercise programs.

To me, it’s crucial to really get to know the person you’re working with. To team up with them so that they achieve the goals they’re aiming for. It’s all collaborative effort. Especially being over 50 myself. Honestly, I believe in the power of staying active!

Dr Jordan Seib

CHIROPRACTOR / TRAINERMy passion and skills skilled in healthcare are helping and rehabilitating people. My background has been a lifetime of high level sports and there’s not many injuries that I haven’t come across. A chiropractor is not all about cracking backs. My treatments are approached in a holistic way.

Using various techniques like dry needling, soft tissue and adjustments to name a few, help in treating all sports related injuries, workplace injuries, postural issues, general aches and pains, and more. Overall, my aim is to have you back to your optimal best in as short a time as possible.

Alannah Mackay

I offer holistic and evidence-based care for musculoskeletal conditions, women’s health, sporting injuries, chronic pain management, individualised programs for hip and knee osteoarthritis, 1:1 clinical exercise and group mat Pilates classes.

My approach is to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms or injuries. For this reason, my mission is to provide high quality physiotherapy services, focusing on thorough assessments, individualised treatment programs, and long-term prevention.

OUR CANTERBURY TEAM

Kim Orfanos | Club Manager

Before gaining my Certificate 3 & 4 in Fitness in my early 20’s, I took ten years away from the workforce to stay home and raise my three beautiful children. I opened my home based gym in 2018 and ran a successful business for 5 years.

A holistic approach to health and fitness is my non-negotiable. Because, it’s not just about exercise. Many of the daily things we do contribute to living a fulfilling life. The things we eat, the way we move, the people we spend time with, to name a few, all play a vital role in our wellbeing. Trying to find a balance is tough, but we get one life, one opportunity to live our lives to the fullest. For me, being able to be a part of someone’s journey is an honour.

Heath and the team at Active & Ageless have created a fun and friendly environment where everyone can feel comfortable working out no matter what their level of fitness may be.The team are incredibly knowledgeable and provide plenty of advice to make sure you're using the right technique to avoid any injuries.The classes have plenty of variety within the structure to keep it fun and fresh and if you're finding one of the exercises a bit too difficult...or too easy...they'll give you an alternative option to suit your needs and fitness level.It's fantastic to walk into a gym where the team know your name and what you need instead of just scanning a card and being another unknown face and number on their books.

My husband and I are delighted with our membership of this gym. Being of a more mature age we were comprehensively assessed and then a suitable programme written for us. We are enjoying our sessions so much we are coming 3 days a week.

Really enjoying my sessions. Super friendly and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, state of the art equipment and best of all, noone checking themselves out in the mirrors or hogging machines. Plus being classes only adds to the incentive to get along. Highly recommend.

Before coming to this gym I couldn't walk down stairs straight, I went down sideways one step at the moment. I constantly had sore knees, now after 3 months I'm so flexible I can do also everything.Where can you get a personal trainer for $49.00 because this is what your getting.The trainers are always ready willing and able to help. Awesome trainers, awesome equipment. Awesome place, would highly recommend it to anyone.

After being lazy for so many years, I made the commitment to exercise regularly. Active & Ageless is the perfect gym for me. All the trainers are lovely and accessible and in 5 months I have become much fitter and stronger. Highly recommend Heath and his team!

Love going. I’ve gone from ‘definitely NOT a gym person’ to going several times a week. My flexibility and energy level has improved and the increased muscle strength has helped a lot with my long standing knee and back problems. Trainers friendly and always making sure the exercises are tailored to my specific needs. The rest of the clients are great and overall it’s an enjoyable experience with great long term benefits .

Having looked around my area for a gym that suited my needs, Active & Ageless came along at just the right time. I love the relaxed atmosphere and have enjoyed every one of my sessions, earlier on with Heath who was excellent and now with Ariel who is exceptional and such fun! I would recommend Active & Ageless to anyone looking for gym that will create a program tailor made just for you.

I have been a member for over one year. It is a great experience here. It not only has great and friendly coaches, Heath, Jas, Jordon ..., they provide various trainings so that I can develop my strength, and flexibility systematically. The other good thing for me is, it trains my discipline so that I need to do good things regularly. Great team and atmosphere. Strongly recommended. Bob

Inspiring trainers, friendly environment and friendly members. When you’re over 50, going to the gym can be a bit daunting but noone judges and we’re all older with the aim of fitness and strength. There’s classes for everyone and you workout at what suits your ability. I’m glad I joined.

Last year, after undergoing major surgery, I looked around for a local Hurstville gym where I could continue my rehab.Heath, a former nurse, has created a great community of like-minded seniors who all have the same goal of improving their fitness.I'm so pleased I joined and I look forward to my Active Foundation classes each week.

Being fit is not an easy task. We always find excuses not to do it such as: we do not have time, it is too hard, it is boring and whatever else we can think of just not to do it.Joining Active and Ageless changed this. I could not believe I ended up being interested going to the gym. The reason is simple: The exercises and activities are designed considering the following:- People above 50s can do it- Address all areas of the body- Not difficult to follow- Accurate timings utilised- Interesting moves- Most importantly, it is FUNActive & Ageless is not just about being fit. It is knowing that the trainers, namely Heath, Jas & Jordan (and I am pretty sure even the future ones) truly care and treat us like family.

Active & Ageless offer a warm, welcoming and engaging program that is unlike any gym I've been to in the past. Their wholistic and personalized approach combining exercise, health and wellbeing is unique, supportive, and most of all fun.

Jasmine is a patient & attentive trainer. Most activities are difficult enough to help, but not too challenging to harm. A good balance and nice small group
