Meet Susie, a dynamo who's turning 80 but refuses to slow down. Together with her son Russ, she's revolutionised fitness at the Blackwood Community Centre with a program that breaks all the rules of traditional exercise classes.

What makes Susie's Fun & Fitness program unique? It's the constant variety – seven different exercise genres packed into a single hour. "If you aren't keen on ballet or drum fit, if you wait 10 minutes, the program changes," she explains. This brilliant approach ensures everyone finds something they love, whether they're in their 30s or their 90s. From drumsticks and actual drums for cardio, to ballet exercises at an outdoor barre, to boot scoot dancing with sequined trilby hats – the program constantly evolves to keep participants engaged, challenged, and smiling.

Drawing on her 40-year nursing career and lifetime of dance teaching, Susie creates a safe, supportive environment where fitness feels like play. The program has grown from 20 to nearly 50 regular participants who not only strengthen their bodies but form lasting friendships. After each Monday session, the Mitcham Council provides free lunch, extending the community-building aspect beyond exercise. This holistic approach has even inspired spin-off groups, like Dee Nolan's Thursday Qigong sessions.

What began as Susie's way of "giving back" has become a profound source of joy for everyone involved. "I didn't realise how much by giving something to the community, how much Russ and I get back," she shares. Join this vibrant community every Monday at 11am – no cost, no pressure, just bring a mat for the final yoga section and prepare to discover that fitness can be fun at any age.
