Avanti Italian (a·vàn·ti) Come in! Let’s go forward!

Avanti Health Centre Townsville is a state-of-the-art, custom designed facility exclusive to over-50s, with cutting-edge HUR strength and aerobic equipment, consulting rooms and studio spaces. Avanti promotes healthy ageing, fitness and wellbeing in older adults drawing upon the latest research from around the world.

The Avanti Way

As a Personal Trainer, you know that exercise is medicine, helping older people to live longer, be healthier, feel happier and mitigate cognitive decline. You will also be well aware that only around 1 in 10 Australians over the age of 50 exercise enough to gain cardiovascular benefit. Avanti is setting out to change that!

Older people tell us that they are intimidated by commercial gyms, with their ‘alpha types’ and ‘awful music’. We created Avanti as a place where our clients can feel at home, safe, and supported by health professionals. The unique points of difference of the Avanti model include the provision of a facility exclusive to over 50s, state-of-the-art equipment powered by advanced technology suitable for all fitness levels, expert advice and supervision from experienced health professionals, supplemented by undergraduate students on practicum placements. Exposure and interaction across the generations provides a dual benefit to both clients and the exercise professionals of tomorrow.

Working with Avanti, you will have an unprecedented opportunity to assist older Australians with individually tailored programs that help them be fit, functional and fearless in a way that suits their lifestyle and health status.
