The Benefits of Staying Active After 50

Huntly’s Wellness Centre will feature a pickleball court — allowing residents to try out the world’s fastest-growing sport

Taking care of your body has a ripple effect on every aspect of life. Research shows that regular exercise not only helps manage weight and mobility but also boosts mood, memory, and independence. At Huntly’s Wellness Centre, you’ll find activities that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle – whether you’re after something gentle, social, or a little more energetic.

    • Swimming – Gentle on joints, great for circulation, and strengthening for the whole body. With our indoor heated pool, year-round swimming is always an option.

    • Pickleball – The world’s fastest-growing sport, and for good reason. A fun mix of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, pickleball is a low-impact, easy-to-learn sport that’s a wonderful way to meet new friends.

    • Bowling – Encourages friendly competition, fresh air, and light exercise – all in one go.

    • Online Health Programs —  Participate in online and outdoor health programs designed for individuals over 50, aimed at helping you stay fit, energised, and confident.

 

The Results Speak for Themselves

We’ve already seen how powerful these wellness opportunities can be. Read Betty’s story to see how an on-site wellness centre helped her bounce back after surgery — a reminder that with the right support, recovery and long-term health can feel more achievable than ever.

Social Wellness Matters Too

Wellness isn’t only about staying active; it’s also about staying connected. Social connection is proven to be just as important to overall well-being as exercise.

At Huntly, you’ll have every opportunity to enjoy both. Think group fitness classes, games nights, and community catch-ups at our future clubhouse. Whether you’re joining a class, sharing a laugh over a friendly match, or relaxing with neighbours on the outdoor terrace, you’ll find plenty of ways to build friendships that enrich your everyday life.

A Place to Call Home

Of course, wellness feels even better when paired with the right home. At Huntly, our modern over-50s homes are designed to be low-maintenance and stress-free, giving you the freedom to focus on the things you love. Downsizing means less time on chores and more time for hobbies, travel, or simply enjoying the peace of your own space.

Take The Jasper, for example. Priced from just $430,000, this thoughtfully designed two-bedroom home gives you everything you need (and more!). Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, offering plenty of space to relax and unwind.

At the heart of the home, the light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is perfect for every moment of life, from quiet morning coffees to lively dinners with friends. With a layout that balances comfort, style and practicality, The Jasper is an inviting retreat where you can truly live life well.
