The smoking ban, educational campaigns, and associated tax policies changed the nation’s health. We need a similar proactive, preventative approach to address muscular weakness. #weightsnotwaitinglists #healthyireland #fit4life #strong4life

Having a pension plan is important, but it’s not just about your finances. Just like the money you invest in your pension determines your financial future, the time you invest in your fitness shapes your future health.Don’t neglect your ‘health pension’—invest in it daily.

Your mind and body are connected—take care of both through exercise.❤️
Exercise is nature’s antidepressant.😊
Gyms provide more than a place to work out—they offer a remedy for our hectic lives, a space to move, sweat, and build social connections.

‼️ Urgent Need for a National Education Campaign on the importance of resistance training. Only 7% of Irish adult women are meeting the min. standard for strength training, a key factor contributing to 🇮🇪 having the highest rate of osteoporosis in Europe. Let’s change those stats

There are now 833,300 people aged 65 or older in Ireland. This number is expected to double within the next 10 years.Our best weapon to slow the hands of time—allowing people to live independently for longer and enjoy their senior years—is strength training #fit4life

National Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines for Ireland ‘24 action plan is currently under review. The IPAA welcomes the inclusion of strength training sessions. The fitness industry is the only viable option to support and activate this policy at a national level

We cannot increase the level of physical activity at a population level without the fitness industry.

Gyms have changed.The no. 1 reason people join a gym is to get fit & healthy. Over 55% of people using a gym are over the age of 35. If you are thinking of returning or starting your fitness journey there’s a gym for you. Plus, it’s a great place to make friends #fit4life

400,000 people in Ireland battle loneliness, a silent struggle that intensifies with age. According to TILDA, over 38% of individuals aged 50 and above feel lonely often or occasionally.
Gyms are now more than just places to exercise. They are vital hubs of connection and support

Fully agree with @niallmoyna . That is reason the IPAA are lobbying government to recognise physical activity as an essential healthcare measure and to launch an national education campaign on the importance of physical activity and resistance training @SimonHarrisTD

Considering the negative impact of bed rest on almost every organ system, it is fantastic to see the medical profession embracing hospital based resistance training, particularly among the elderly.
