What is involved if you take part in the Onero™ Program

The Onero™ Program begins with a comprehensive 60-minute assessment conducted by a qualified Onero™-trained allied health professional, such as an Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist.

After your initial assessment, you will participate in 2 x 60-minute classes per week. These classes are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of up to six participants, to ensure that each session is fully supervised and personalised. Our Onero™-trained professionals closely monitor your progress, providing expert guidance and adjusting exercises as needed.

The program is designed to span a 12-month period, with a structured progression in both the intensity and complexity of exercises as your strength, balance, and confidence improve. This gradual increase helps optimise your bone health and overall physical function.
