Exercise Classes
These classes are not run by Arthritis New Zealand. We suggest you make contact with them to discuss if they are right for you. Arthritis New Zealand is working with Exercise New Zealand to compile a national directory of exercise classes that may be helpful for people with arthritis so this list of possible choices is by no means definitive.
