Classes & Programs
Athletic Program
Our Athletic Program is a great way for young athletes to improve their performance by working with our Exercise Physiologists who will identify areas of opportunity and build tailored and specific plans to help them achieve their goals. The program is suitable for any sport and is designed to help participants increase their understanding of exercise principles and learn valuable techniques to optimise training outcomes.
Are you ready to take your performance to the next level?
Back Program
Our Back Program is designed to assist with a majority of back issues including some of the most common, such as disc disorders (e.g. degenerative discs and herniation), sciatica and curvature of the spine, and problems caused by osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Our program is led by a team of accredited experts that has access to world-leading back surgeons and other specialists.
A major focus of the program is relieving back pain and helping participants improve their quality of life. Our program is suitable for chronic sufferers of back pain as well as people with conditions that are newly diagnosed.
Bone Society
Over 66% of Australians aged over 50 are impacted by osteopenia, osteoporosis, or poor bone health in general. Our Bone Society group class is specifically designed to improve bone density and strength, which in turn reduces the risk of falls, one of the major reasons for hospital admissions. Combining resistance based and impact loading exercises, the class utilises new research that provides us with an understanding that loading the bones in a safe and appropriate manner will actually promote the increase of bone building hormones, previously thought impossible.
Our osteoporosis classes run for one hour and are available at our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.
Dementia Care – Active Alzheimer’s
People with dementia can live independently and with a good quality of life. Our dementia care program run by our exercise physiologists, and supported by geriatricians, has been designed with this objective for newly diagnosed individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Group Recreation
Our popular group recreation classes are designed to improve your general fitness in a fun and inclusive social environment, and include an element of sport or group activity such as basketball, handball or walking. No previous experience is required as our exercise physiologists will provide tuition and monitor technique. This class is best suited to individuals living with a disability and can be funded through the NDIS.
Limited to a maximum group size of six, our group recreation classes are held at our Runaway Bay clinic located in the Gold Coast Performance Centre, a world class sporting venue with a wide range of equipment and facilities.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy utilises water to treat a variety of medical conditions and presents numerous benefits as a non-invasive method to relieve symptoms without the requirement of medication or more aggressive interventions. Its non-weight bearing nature makes it an excellent choice for those seeking to minimise impact on weight-bearing joints like hips, knees, and ankles. This makes it particularly suitable for seniors, individuals with physical disabilities, or those in post-surgery recovery.
Available as individual sessions, or our group classes which offer sensation value, hydrotherapy is offered at our Runaway Bay clinic.
Mission MS
Previously run by the Queensland Government, our years of experience have resulted in the continued development of Mission MS, our group classes specifically designed to enrich the lives of those impacted by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Mission MS combines the benefits of balance, co-ordination, strength and endurance based exercises to raise the bar of the participants’ function and capabilities. This class aims to reduce the degradation of MS, and by increasing the participants’ baseline fitness and capabilities, relapses are much less debilitating. Our clients not only benefit greatly from the exercise program, but also love the camaraderie and social environment that this class offers.
Mission MS group classes are available at our Varsity Lakes clinic.
My Strong Kids
Our program is designed to help all children including those with learning disabilities such as ASD, ADHD, Spina Bifida, and Cerebral Palsy. My Strong Kids helps children build their strength and executive functioning skills which are crucial for a child’s success at school and in life generally.
We conduct regular comprehensive assessments of special tests related to youth development to understand individual needs and monitor progress over 6 weekly periods and use play and games as a form of exercise to improve skills.
PD Revolution
A specifically designed class for all levels of participants suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, this program is the largest of its kind on the Gold Coast. This fun class includes wheelchair-bound clients through to those who are very able-bodied, and is also a great platform to create supportive friendships.
The program aims to improve gait, reduce freezing episodes, improve balance, improve fine motor skills, delay the need to increase drug treatment and ultimately regain confidence and independence. PD Revolution comprises land and hydro based exercises through individual and group settings.
PD Revolution classes are available at both our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.
Pilates
A low impact exercise program, Pilates focuses on deeper, smaller muscles that support body structure. It comprises a series of controlled movements designed to improve posture, core strength, balance, flexibility, mobility plus your overall well-being and mood. Learn more about the benefits of Pilates.
With two different categories of reformer Pilates available, “FIT” and “Clinical”, there is an intensity level fit for everyone’s needs. Our studio is located at our Runaway Bay clinic, with sessions delivered by accredited exercise physiologists using Pilates Reformer equipment. By incorporating Pilates into your Atkins Health program you can be assured of receiving the highest quality of Pilates instruction available.
Squad Atkins
Our most popular small group class, Squad Atkins is not just suited to improve your general fitness, strength and mobility, but the program can be specifically tailored to target any of those niggling ailments that come our way, such as strains, sprains and pains. With a dedicated exercise physiologist monitoring your technique and progress, this semi-private class is a sure-fire way of ensuring that you get results in the most efficient and effective manner. If you ever experience any discomfort from conditions such as tendonitis, joint pain, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and the list goes on, then this class is the one for you.
Limited to a maximum group size of six, Squad Atkins classes are available at all four of our Gold Coast clinics.
Veterans’ Health
Our society owes a debt of gratitude and support to our veterans, who have played a vital role in serving our nation. That’s why we offer allied health programs designed to help veterans transition smoothly into civilian life and provide ongoing support for their health and wellness needs.
