Social groups in Perth — listings
A Canning Highway gym for people over 50 and nobody else, with classes capped at eight and led by physiotherapists. There is a six-week starting programme, one-to-one sessions, and physiotherapy in the same room.
Strength coaching aimed squarely at middle-aged and older adults, one to one or online, taking people from those finding daily tasks hard to those training around an old injury. Running coaching and gait assessment are offered alongside.
Day centres for people over 55 running gardening, cooking, music, arts and crafts, outings and seated sport, with programmes for people living with dementia and support for complex needs. Four centres across the metro and South West.
Monthly get-togethers in ordinary cafés for people living with dementia or memory loss and the people who care for them, with table games, puzzles and company. Around two dozen locations across WA, each meeting once a month.

How senior wellness is taught in Perth
Almost everything on this page exists elsewhere in the directory. What makes it a page of its own is who it is run for, and that changes the room more than the activity.
Strength for Life is the one to know: a COTA-endorsed strength and balance programme for people over 50, run by accredited exercise physiologists at sites across the metro, usually needing a GP referral and costing a fraction of a personal trainer. Falls prevention classes are the clinical cousin, run by physiotherapists in groups of three to eight. Chair and gentle yoga do what the names say — no floor work, no getting up and down. The social side is separate again: seniors’ centres, men’s sheds and memory cafés, the last of these designed for people living with dementia and the people who care for them, and open to both together.
On practicalities: ask whether a class needs a GP referral before you turn up, because the subsidised ones usually do. Ask what the group size is — the difference between eight people and twenty-eight is the difference between being watched and being counted. Council-run programmes are typically the cheapest and book by term rather than by session, and many centres run transport.
