Meet Amisha Singh
You’ve been told to exercise for your bones. But what exercise?
It’s understandable to feel unsure about lifting weights or starting at a gym. We begin with your health, goals and current ability, then help you choose an appropriate next step.Why ONERO® is different
ONERO® is an evidence-based program developed from the LIFTMOR research at Griffith University for people with low bone mass. It combines targeted resistance, impact and balance training, with supervision by an accredited ONERO® practitioner.
Learn about the ONERO® research →Who may it suit?
People with osteoporosis, osteopenia or low bone mass who want professional guidance. No gym experience is needed. Your assessment helps us work out whether ONERO® is right for you.
What would feeling stronger mean for you?
For many people, the goal is to feel stronger and more confident in everyday life — whether that means carrying shopping, travelling, gardening, getting up from a chair more easily or simply feeling less nervous about exercise.
Your plan starts with what matters to you. Tell us what you’d like to keep doing, get back to or feel more confident trying.
