The Longevity Games - Cairns - Hosted at UmiFit

🇦🇺 The First Longevity Games Australia

Hosted by UmiFit Gym

The Longevity Games is coming to Australia for the very first time.

Following the success of events across the United Kingdom, we are excited to bring the world's most inclusive fitness event to the UmiFit community. The Longevity Games celebrates movement, health and longevity, proving that fitness is not about being the fastest or strongest, but about maintaining the physical abilities that allow us to live independently and enjoy life for longer.

Our philosophy is simple:

Your Pace, Not a Race.

Participants can choose their challenge level at the start of the event, making The Longevity Games accessible to all ages, abilities and fitness backgrounds.

How The Challenge Works

Each level begins with a run or walk section, immediately followed by a series of functional fitness exercises.

The format for every level is:

Run or Walk before each exercise ➜ Squats ➜ Lie Down Stand Ups ➜ Hand Walk Outs ➜ Walking Lunges ➜ Burpee Step/Jumps

This combination tests many of the key components of fitness associated with healthy ageing and maintaining independence throughout life, including cardiovascular fitness, lower body strength, mobility, balance, coordination and the ability to repeatedly get up and down from the floor.

Participants simply choose which level they would like to complete before they start.

Whether you're walking your first 400 metres or taking on the full Proficient challenge, every participant is celebrated equally.

Because longevity is not about beating other people.

It is about maintaining the strength, fitness and confidence to continue doing the things you love for as long as possible.
