Empower Program - Richmond Recreation Centre

Our Empower program supports people with chronic conditions who require minimal support. It’s an inclusive, fun and supportive space to meet other people and stay fit. 

This fun and inclusive program is designed to help you maintain an exercise routine and for the most part you’ll train independently, but a Gym Instructor will be there to support and guide you. 

Sessions focus on building muscle strength, flexibility and balance. 

Empower was previously called the Striving for Maximum Strength Program. 

How do I join?

You must have an initial assessment with one of our instructors. Our instructor will build you an individual program to meet your health goals.

You can book an assessment with one of our gym instructors either online at My account | Yarra Leisure (yarracity.vic.gov.au) or by visiting us at reception.
