About AgeilityFit

Principles & Mission

While AgeilityFit has continued to grow, the motivation and premise have not changed. Our motto, ‘Making Healthy Happen’ is a short reminder of our mission to bring fitness and health to older adults.

AgeiltyFit’s mission is to:

  • Provide easy and affordable access to fitness services for older adults both in-person and online. We always ensure a fun and safe environment where everyone feels welcome and able to participate to the best of their abilities.
  • Age is never a barrier. All abilities and capabilities are welcomed and catered for in every session.
  • We ensure everyone is entitled to the same opportunity to move better, be fitter and lead a happier, healthier life.

With this mission statement behind every class and workout we ensure our members and clients receive exercises, workouts and classes that are appropriate for them and to work towards being a better version of themselves.

David Lawson

Certificate III and IV in fitness

I have trained for several years, and fitness has been a series of ups and downs in terms of fitness and weight. After seeing myself in a very overweight photo in 2014, I started on a fitness transformation to improve his health. With a new found passion for fitness, I took the steps in 2015 to complete my Certificate III and IV in fitness.

With a determined approach to apply myself during these studies and made a career of the new skills, which found me nominated in the top 5 students for 2015 in the Fitness Australia Awards.

The road forward in the fitness industry has continued to grow and I have continued my studies to add to my skill base to help our clients as much as possible. Additionally, I have added Lungs in Action training from Lungs Australia, Mental Health Fist Aid and Rehab Trainer courses over the years to expand the knowledge and skills to help AgeilityFit members and clients.

Our History

AgeilityFit Pty Ltd (AgeilityFit) began from a small idea but with great intentions and goals. In 2015 we began from a council submission to bring fitness services to older adults on Mount Tamborine. The idea was based on the premise that anyone could benefit from exercise and more importantly older adults had the most to gain from better movement, better fitness and a better quality of life.

While engaging in practical work during Certificate III fitness training, David undertook some volunteering with a Lift for Life group in Nerang. The benefits to the participants were immense; strength increase, mental health improved, pain reduced and people just felt better and happier.

This approach was borrowed and developed into a Growing Stronger program to bring older adults into a gym. This was to be a 12-week trial, however it continued well past that initial time and quickly grew from one class a week to four. Once again participants saw the benefits of exercise on improving their mobility, strength, balance, fitness and overall health. The community created continues to this day with groups still meeting together to chat and connect.

As the gym based program continued, group fitness classes were launched under the MatureFit banner on the Gold Coast. A single class in Pacific Pines started to get locals moving and connect with others that wanted to do more and feel better. Friends brought friends and the class grew both in numbers and locations. Additional classes have been added to Helensvale, Hope Island, Upper Coomera, Nerang, Southport, Pimpama and Ormeau.

As the MatureFit classes grew, the need for a more active version became apparent quite quickly. While participants may be the same age as others, abilities and capabilities varied significantly. Many older adults wanted more of a challenge and with that FiftyPlusFit was launched. This active group fitness class launched in Helensvale, Pacific Pines and Upper Coomera. In just six years AgeilityFit has grown from that single class and one trainer to fifteen classes every week and two trainers.

What our clients say

Thanks David (and also thanks Justine)

Your Zoom classes have enabled us to (more-or-less) have a daily workout on Mon-Fri, which is something we have never, ever managed to achieve before.

Also, because it is ‘at home’, there is no travelling time, so it’s easier to fit in with other commitments.

We very much appreciate everything that you have both done over these last months, firstly to master the Zoom techno-system and then to keep going when your face-to-face classes started up again in the Northern Gold Coast.

Rob & Polly Reed

Thanks David – we really enjoyed being ‘back in the saddle’ for today’s class, and we look forward to next week’s sessions.

Polly and I both really appreciate what you and Justine do to help us ‘online participants’.

Thank you for everything that you do to support mature folks – it is much appreciated and especially the online sessions, which have enabled us to establish a regular exercise regime.

Rob & Polly Reed

Thank you Dave, for designing a fitness program especially for me, after my back surgery. I was very delicate for quite a while. And look forward to the Gym opening again so I can continue the maintenance program you have worked out for me.

Kindest regards Ted and Rosie

Ted Buchanan

I joined Justine and David’s classes through the Gold Coast Active & Healthy program and found their exercise routines were perfect for seniors, very professionally run and fun. The effort they have made to move their classes on line though Zoom has been fantastic and greatly appreciated.

Leonie Hamilton

John and I both in our 80”s joined the classes with David quite a while ago to challenge ourselves to keep as fit as we could.

Attending with our two near neighbours, joining was easy and we encouraged each other.

From day one Davids, welcome, his personal care for each of us and the way the classes are presented have been first class. So enjoyable and so beneficial. Our overall fitness and well being have improved greatly, the classes are so well supported and the group works together very well, the music is pretty good too.
No two classes are the same and we benefit from the structured exercises which increase as time goes on. David is always aware of any difficulties, physical or mental, especially John who is sadly suffering severe memory loss and ability to balance.
There are so few groups so well constructed for us oldies and I would recommend this friendly group to anyone seeking to improve fitness and have fun too.
