Buying it for Mum or Dad?

Use their email address at checkout, not yours, so the workouts are linked to them. You can still pay with your own card. If you're signed in to your own account, sign out first.

They sign in with that email and a 6 digit code we send them, so there's no password to remember.

The 12 month plan is an easy one to give: one payment for the whole year, and the Almost Strong bottle is posted to them, a gift from us.

Who's behind it

Planned by Patrick, our physiotherapist

Almost Strong is a mobile physiotherapy practice. Every week Patrick works with older adults in their own homes across Sydney's Lower North Shore, and he planned these workouts the same way he works in those homes: clear, steady and easy to follow.

  • Registered physiotherapist
  • Home visits across the Lower North Shore
  • Workouts planned and led by Patrick Sikombe (DPT, BSc)

Before you start. These are general exercise sessions, not a treatment plan for a health condition. If you have one, check with your doctor or physio first. Go at your own pace, rest when you need to, and stop if anything hurts.

Ready to give it a go?

Try it free for 7 days. If it's not for you, cancel before day 8 and you pay nothing. After that it's $20 a month, and you can cancel anytime.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

Choose the monthly plan and you get 7 days free. We need a card to start, but nothing is charged today. Your $20 monthly payment starts on day 8. If it isn't for you, cancel online before then and you won't pay anything. We'll email you a reminder 3 days before your trial ends, and again the day before. One free trial per person.

How do I cancel?

Sign in to your account on our website and open your subscription. You can cancel there in a few taps, and you keep your workouts until the end of the time you've paid for.

Can I get a refund on the 6 or 12 month plans?

Yes. If you change your mind within 14 days, we'll give you a full refund. Just email us.

Is it OK if I haven't exercised in years?

The workouts are made for people starting again after a break. Each one has a warm up and a cool down built in, most moves are done sitting down, and Patrick shows an easier way where he can. Chair Only is a gentle one to begin with. Go at your own pace and stop if anything hurts. If you have a health condition, or aren't sure a workout is right for you, check with your doctor or physio first.

Can two of us do it together?

Yes. Your membership covers you and your household, so you can follow along together on the same screen. Please don't share your sign in with people outside your household.

Can I buy it for someone else?

Yes. Use their email address at checkout, not yours, so the workouts are linked to them, and pay with your own card. If you're signed in to your own account, sign out first. They sign in with their email and a code we send them. If you'd like a hand, email support@almoststrong.com.au.

Do I need equipment?

No. A sturdy chair is all you need to start, and Chair Only needs nothing else. Some workouts use dumbbells, a small ball or a band, and we show you what to use at home instead, like water bottles or a cushion. Each workout above shows what it uses.

How do member prices work?

Once your first payment has gone through, member prices come off automatically at checkout when you're signed in. No code needed. On the 6 and 12 month plans they start straight away.

How do I watch the workouts?

On a phone, tablet or computer. After checkout we email you a link. Next time, tap Almost Strong Plus in the menu at the top of our website and sign in with your email. We'll send you a code, so there's no password to remember.

How does the Seniors Card price work?

Tick "I have a Seniors Card" when you choose the 6 or 12 month plan and the lower price comes off straight away. We may ask to see your card.

When does the bottle arrive?

On the 12 month plans, we post your Almost Strong bottle once your first 14 days are up.

Need a hand?
