Heart health plays a big role in how you feel day to day - your energy, your confidence, and your ability to keep doing the things you enjoy. After a heart event or heart procedure, it’s common to feel unsure about how much activity is safe. Many people also worry about overdoing it, triggering symptoms, or exercising alone.
That’s where ongoing, supervised support can make a real difference. Cardiac rehabilitation programs are designed to help people recover after a heart event and return to safe physical activity - and evidence shows they can support recovery, improve quality of life, and reduce the risk of future complications.
Suncare’s Cardiac Rehab Maintenance program helps you keep progressing after hospital-based rehab ends, with weekly classes led by qualified clinicians in a supportive group setting.
Suncare offers group-based cardiac rehabilitation classes for people who have experienced a cardiac event, heart damage, or have undergone cardiac surgery. Our Cardiac Rehab Maintenance classes help bridge the gap between hospital-based cardiac rehab and exercising independently.
Each week, you’ll follow a personalised exercise plan built around your needs, goals and current ability. A qualified clinician supervises the session, supports your technique, and helps you progress safely over time.
Cardiac Rehab Maintenance may be suitable if you’ve experienced or are living with conditions such as:
If you’re not sure whether this program is right for you, our team can talk it through and help you choose the safest next step.

We tailor your sets, weights and repetitions to match your goals - whether you want to improve stamina, build strength, feel steadier, or return to everyday activities with confidence.
Cardiac rehab doesn’t stop being useful when you finish hospital-based sessions. Ongoing support can help you keep building strength and reduce your risk factors over time - especially when you’re managing a long-term heart condition.
Suncare’s maintenance program supports your long-term heart health by helping you:
We also support the broader parts of recovery, including education and guidance to help you manage risk factors such as:
Many people find that having a clinician nearby makes it easier to show up regularly, pace themselves, and feel reassured as they return to activity.
Our Cardiac Rehab Maintenance classes are designed to give you the information, structure and support you need to stay on track. Alongside your personalised program, our clinicians provide practical education around diet, stress, cholesterol and blood pressure, and help you build habits that support long-term heart health.
Most importantly, we aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where confidence grows, progress feels achievable, and you feel supported as you continue looking after your heart.
