Our History
The development of the "Action and Mobility Programs" has been painstaking and deliberate and commenced before the company name, Fifty Plus Fitness Pty. Ltd, was established.In May 2003, there was an opportunity for John and Bob Dieckmann to work in collaboration with the Wide Bay Population Health Unit in a pilot program focussed on falls prevention. Over the next few months a series of low impact, self paced programs were developed and trialled.
By the end of June 2004, the development and trials involved some thirty participants who saw the wide range of benefits that resulted from their participation in the program.
An observed improvement in both the physical ability and mental alertness, indicated to the developers that such programs were much needed, and not available to the very large, and increasing, over fifties age groups.
The company Fifty Plus Fitness Pty Ltd was established in March 2006, after two and a half years of research and development. The Company has now completed another year of development, resulting in the unique "Action and Mobility" programs that are delivering great benefits to the clients.
Strength, mobility, balance and mental alertness are key components of falls prevention. Fifty Plus Fitness products will continue to be developed and delivered to its target participants.
Highly trained and skilled trainers will deliver the programs in a fun filled manner which will result in a more enjoyable and healthy lifestyle for those participating on a regular basis.
