Longevity Lifters Class

Thinking about joining our ‘Longevity Lifters’ circuit classes? Read below to find out why you should!

As we gracefully age, it becomes increasingly important to prioritize our physical well-being. In the quest for a vibrant and fulfilling life, staying active is key. However, sometimes we might struggle to find the motivation to maintain good physical habits. Sometimes, we simply just have no idea where to start!

Longevity is a 40 minute exercise circuit class focused on full body strength, coordination and balance. It challenges participants physically but also fosters a sense of community, promoting holistic well-being for those navigating the golden years. With the help of a physiotherapist, even in a group class we can tailor each exercise specific to your ability.

We have listed FIVE benefits of our Circuit Classes below!

Muscle Strength:

  • The class incorporates resistance training to strengthen major muscle groups, combating the natural decline in muscle mass that comes with aging.
  • Increased muscle strength not only enhances daily activities but also contributes to better metabolism and bone health.

Balance and Coordination:

  • The circuit includes exercises that challenge and improve balance, reducing the risk of falls – a significant concern for older individuals.
  • Enhanced coordination promotes better proprioception, making movements more fluid and controlled.

Flexibility and Joint Health:

  • Gentle stretching exercises contribute to improved flexibility and joint mobility, preventing stiffness and discomfort.
  • Flexible joints are crucial for maintaining an active lifestyle and engaging in various physical activities.

Emotional Well-Being Boost:

  • Engage in a positive and uplifting environment that extends beyond the physical aspects of the class.
  • Longevity Lifters is a stress-free zone where you can release endorphins, improve your mood, and build confidence through the sense of accomplishment gained from mastering new exercises.

Community Connection:

  • Longevity Lifters isn’t just a fitness class; it’s a community. Joining this circuit program means becoming part of a supportive network of like-minded individuals who are all on a journey to prioritize their health.
  • Each class is not just a workout but a social event. Share your victories, support others in their fitness goals, and celebrate the joys of functional exercise together.

Tahlia Cranley

Director, Senior Physiotherapist, BSC Clinical Pilates Instructor

Tahlia is the Director of Perth Physiotherapy and Pilates and has been a physiotherapist for over 13 years. She graduated from Curtin University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) and commenced work initially as a rotating physiotherapist in the hospital setting before realizing her true passion was in private practice.

After leaving her full-time clinical role and deciding to open her own practice in 2016, Tahlia started Perth Physio & Pilates in a room attached to a gym, before moving to the clinic’s current location in 2018. Tahlia became a business owner to be able to provide patients with the best possible care, and provide her staff with an enjoyable and supportive work environment.

Growing up playing state level basketball Tahlia was constantly in and out of the physio. This is initially what sparked her interest in the career. Having worked in the industry for many years, she has developed a special interest in treating sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain and dysfunction, spinal pain and cervical (neck) pain and headaches. Within her consultations, Tahlia looks beyond just the symptoms her patients present with to identify the root cause of the problem, aiming to fully resolve the cause to prevent the pain or issue from recurring.

Tahlia utilizes manual therapy, dry needling, neuromeningeal manipulation, clinical pilates / ‘Physiolates’ and exercise rehabilitation to treat her patients. She is continually completing professional development to learn and extend her knowledge as both a physiotherapist and business owner to ensure she is providing her patients with the most effective treatments.

Outside of work, Tahlia enjoys spending time with her family and keeping up with her two young children. She likes hiking, basketball, camping and heads to the snow whenever she gets the chance to carve it up on the snowboard.
