Green Prescription Active Adults

What is Active Adults?

Green Prescription Active Adults is a 10-week programme designed for adults aged 18 years and over who are currently inactive and would like support to improve their health, fitness, and overall wellbeing through regular physical activity.

The programme provides a welcoming and supportive environment where participants can build confidence, develop healthy habits, and discover enjoyable ways to be active. Classes are available in Palmerston North, Levin, and Feilding, with telephone-based support also available for those who are unable to attend in person.

Each session includes an educational component alongside a guided physical activity session, helping participants gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to maintain an active lifestyle.

Activities vary by location and may include:

• Aqua aerobics
• Walking groups
• Resistance and strength training
• Gym-based exercise sessions
• Sit and Be Fit classes
