Free 3-week Starter Program

Get Stronger, Move Better And Stay Independent After 60

The physiotherapist-designed strength, balance and fitness program helping older adults live better for longer. Start with a free 3-week Starter Program — no card required.

The problem

Most people over 60 know they should exercise. The problem is nobody tells them exactly what to do.

Most people over 60 know they should exercise, but they aren't sure where to start. Walking is good, but it doesn't build enough strength to prevent muscle loss. Random YouTube workouts lack structure. Gyms can feel intimidating. As strength, fitness and balance decline, everyday things like stairs, shopping, gardening and getting out of chairs become harder each year.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Stairs leave you puffed out
  • Getting out of low chairs is becoming harder
  • You're worried about losing muscle and bone density
  • You're concerned about your balance and falling
  • You're not as confident in your body as you once were

If you're ready to

Reclaim the everyday things that matter most.

  • Get up and down stairs without struggling
  • Feel steady & confident on your feet again
  • Get back to gardening without your body paying for it afterwards
  • Keep up with the grandkids instead of watching from the sidelines
  • Build strength instead of getting weaker every year
  • Maintain your independence for longer
  • Enjoy holidays and travelling without your body holding you back
  • Shop without looking for the nearest bench every 10 minutes
  • Trust your body again

Then the Built To Last program is for you.

Meet Donovan

A physio on a mission to help you live better, for longer.

Designed by Donovan Baker (Doctor of Physiotherapy, Bachelor of Exercise Science).

Built from more than a decade of helping older adults stay strong, mobile and independent.

Throughout his career, he kept seeing the same problem. People were being told to exercise, but nobody was showing them exactly what to do.

Most were left with generic gym programs, random YouTube videos, or no plan at all.

So he created Built To Last.

A complete strength, balance and fitness program designed specifically for older adults who want to stay active, maintain their independence, and keep doing the things they love for as long as possible.

From our community

Real members. Real results.

"I'm 68 and I hadn't done proper strength training in years. I was worried it would all be too much, but having different exercise options made it much easier to start. I already feel more confident moving around."
Margaret J, 68
"I'm really liking the program. I'm halfway through and feeling more confident, better fitness and better balance."
Tony H, 59
"I'm 65 and felt like I was 100 before starting! I couldn't walk properly, was very unsteady on my feet and couldn't get up stairs on my own. After the program I'm walking a lot better, have strength in my arms and legs and getting up and down stairs"
Annette K, 65
"This program has helped me massively after having a stroke 2 years ago. I am now able to walk better, balance on my feet better, get up and down stairs, and off the toilet easier. I would highly recommend this to anyone."
Brad R., 68
"I've noticed getting out of the lounge chair is easier now. I didn't realise how much I had started using my arms until I got a bit stronger."
Linda M., 65
"My legs definitely feel stronger. Stairs and getting up from lower chairs don't feel like as much effort as they did a few months ago."
Robert T., 71

Seeing a good physio can make or break your recovery, and the Physio Don has been consistently excellent. From the first appointment, they took the time to understand not just the injury but how it affected my day‑to‑day life. Their assessments are thorough, their explanations are clear, and they never rush through a session.What stands out most is their ability to combine hands‑on treatment with practical exercises that actually work. Every plan feels tailored — not generic — and they adjust things based on how my body responds rather than sticking rigidly to a script. I’ve noticed real improvements in mobility, pain levels, and confidence in movement.The clinic itself is clean, organised, and welcoming. Appointments run on time, communication is easy, and I always leave feeling like I’ve been listened to and supported.Overall, I’d recommend this physio to anyone who wants a practitioner who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in you

I highly recommend The Physio Don. I injured my foot around 5 years ago and had been to doctors and an Orthopedic Surgeon over that time and they didn’t help at all, yet after one visit to Don I had improvement straight away. I had thought this was a pain I was just going to have to live with for the rest of my life but after seeing Don a few times now, it is almost back to normal and I couldn’t be happier
