YMCA Australia has entered into an agreement with the National Heart Foundation of Australia to take over its long-standing Heartmoves programme.

Heartmoves targets people at risk of, or living with, chronic disease – or indeed anyone who may not have exercised for a while.

Participants work at their own pace, guided by Heartmoves leaders either in groups or in one-to-one sessions.

The programme is run by specially trained fitness and exercise professionals and is offered in a range of settings, including fitness and community centres and old people’s homes.
