The investigators have successfully completed a pilot project focused on feasibility and user acceptability of a digitally delivered program for fall prevention in older adults. It was well received among a population of lower and moderate risk individuals. The investigators propose to extend this research by repeating the training program with the inclusion of a wait list control group. Group A (immediate intervention) will start their initial 12 week exercise program (Intensive Exercise) within 4 weeks of baseline (BL) measurement (as a cohort). This will be followed by an optional additional 12 week exercise program (Maintenance Exercise 2) that participants who complete at least 10 of the Exercise 1 classes will be invited to join. This will be followed by a 12 week wash out period. Measurements will occur each 12 weeks (BL, 12 week post randomization, 24 week post randomization, 36 week post randomization) Group B (waitlist control) will start with a 12 week life as normal period that is concurrent with Group A's intensive Exercise. They will start Intensive Exercise when Group A is doing Maintenance exercise. They will be invited to Maintenance Exercise while Group A is doing washout. They will not have a washout period. Measurements will occur at the same period(s) as Group A (i.e. all participants measured during the same time period). The intervention will be identical to what was offered in the past, and measurements will be very similar (removing those that did not show change with intervention or were deemed too difficult for participants).
