Around 750 people in Sydney's east take part in the AIM/WAVES Healthy Ageing Program, which holds exercise, balance and fitness classes for seniors aged 65 and over.

South East Sydney Local Health District had informed participants around a week prior that the program would end on September 27.

NSW Health says it will replace the program with one that focuses on patients recovering from hospital treatment.
