What's New

New Program!

Get Up & Go! is a collaborative project with Osteofit and Fraser Health Falls Prevention Initiative and Fraser Health Specialized Geriatric Clinics.

Get Up & Go! is a version of Osteofit designed as an entry level program for seniors with balance and mobility impairments who would otherwise not be able to attend a community based exercise class.  For men and women, this class focuses on improving strength, balance and coordination as well as functional ability. It is particularly suited for those with walking aids.

Classes are offered in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Delta, Langley, New Westminster, Surrey and White Rock. Contact us at osteofit@cw.bc.ca or Fraser Health Fall and Injury Prevention at (604) 587-7850 ext. 764846 for more information.
