Collection: Senior Exercise Equipment

Staying steady on your feet starts with staying active. Our senior exercise equipment is chosen for older Australians who want to stay safe at home and keep doing the things they love. Browse exercise equipment for seniors that sits alongside our mobility aids and daily living aids.

Types of senior exercise equipment

Most older Australians don't need a full gym to stay strong. The right pieces, used a few minutes a day, are enough to keep your legs steady, your hands working, and your balance reliable.

Pedal exercisers for legs and circulation

Pedal exercisers are small, low-impact machines you use while sitting in your favourite chair. They get the legs moving, support circulation, and gently rebuild stamina after a hospital stay or a quiet patch. Most fit neatly under a recliner or kitchen chair, and many can be used for arms as well as legs.

Resistance bands and tubing for strength

Bands offer gentle, controlled resistance without weights to lift or drop. They suit people who want to build a little upper body and core strength, recover from surgery, or follow a physio program at home. Our resistance bands and tubing come in graded resistance levels, so you can start light and progress at your own pace. Latex-free options are available.

Balance trainers and stability discs

Steady balance is what keeps you on your feet. Balance trainers and stability discs are designed to be used near a kitchen bench or sturdy chair, so there's always something to hold. A few minutes a day can help you feel more confident on uneven ground, in the shower, or getting in and out of the car.

Hand and grip strengthening aids

Strong hands matter for everyday tasks: opening jars, turning a key, holding a cup. Gripping aids help you maintain dexterity and grip, which is especially useful if arthritis is making your hands feel stiff. Most are small enough to keep on the coffee table and use during a TV ad break.

How to choose the right exercise equipment at home

Start with what you can do today, not what you used to do. If you're getting back into movement after a fall or surgery, a pedal exerciser and a light resistance band are a sensible place to begin.

Think about the space. A two metre clear patch beside a sturdy chair is enough for most of the gear on this page. None of it needs a spare room.

If you have a Home Care Package, NDIS plan or DVA entitlement, ask your provider whether your exercise equipment is covered. Many products on this page are eligible. And if you're not sure where to start, give us a call. We're here to help and we'll talk it through.

Frequently asked questions about senior exercise equipment

What exercise equipment is safe for seniors with bad knees or arthritis?

Low-impact gear is your friend. Pedal exercisers, resistance bands and stability work are gentle on the joints and can be done seated. Avoid anything with sudden impact, heavy resistance, or quick changes of direction. Our guide to resistance band exercises shows a few you can try at home.

Is a recumbent bike or treadmill better for seniors?

For most older adults a recumbent bike is the gentler option. It supports your back, takes the load off your knees, and lowers the fall risk you get on a treadmill. If a recumbent bike is too large for the home, a pedal exerciser gives you a similar low-impact leg workout in a fraction of the space. Read our tips on reducing falls at home before you start.

What exercises can older adults do while sitting down?

Plenty. Pedalling on a pedal exerciser, resistance band rows, seated marches, hand grip work and gentle ankle circles all work well from a chair. They are ideal if standing for long is tiring, or while you build strength back up. See our 5 tips to live independently at home for a simple routine.

Can I use my Home Care Package or NDIS to pay for senior exercise equipment?

Yes, senior exercise equipment can often be purchased using your Home Care Package, NDIS plan or DVA entitlement. Contact your plan manager or provider to confirm your entitlements and request approval. Once approved, we provide a tax invoice. Pay it and we ship your order straight away. Our NDIS FAQs cover the common questions.
