EFM Health Clubs

The Lift For Life program is a progressive weight training program designed for people with or at risk of Type 2 diabetes based on comprehensive research by the International Diabetes Institute proving the positive effects weight training has in managing Type 2 diabetes.

Lift For Life aims to improve diabetes control, decrease body fat, increase strength, and enhance general health and well-being through a structured approach to strength training.

Baker IDI have a unique operating model integrating research, education and clinical care divisions, dedicated to making a difference for people with diabetes and those at risk of all ages and fitness levels.

EFM has been chosen by Baker IDI and Fitness Australia to deliver this program nationally as the EFM culture, environment and personalised Fitness Coaching structure is well suited to deliver this type of program and the Lift For Life program is essentially a weights only program with a Fitness Coach to member ratio of 1:12. Four simple assessments are provided over the 6 month program and EFM offer a free trial session to Lift For Life participants.  

Throughout a Lift For Life program, participants can work at their own pace, with plenty of help and encouragement along the way from an EFM coach to help achieve your goals.

EFM offers personal Fitness Coaching at all sessions to provide you with a tailored program to help you manage your diabetes.

Lift For Life members can do a program via one of the LIFT FOR LIFE weights program cards which can be regularly updated. Lift For Life members can also join in regular EFM weights focused sessions if they wish, and if Lift For Life members wish to do extra cardiovascular exercise, they are able to do so as long as they have first completed their resistance training exercises for the session and/or for the week.

At the end of the Lift For Life program Lift For Life members are very welcome to continue with their EFM membership without the Lift For Life assessments and training will still include a significant weights focus for diabetes management.

Lift For Life enquires can be made to or direct with your local club.
