ONERO Program in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

The ONERO Program is a supervised, evidence-based resistance training program specifically designed to support bone health. Developed from leading Australian research, ONERO uses progressive, high-intensity resistance and impact exercises to stimulate bone adaptation, improve muscle strength, and support balance and functional capacity. At BeFit’s Edgecliff clinic, the ONERO Program is delivered by trained practitioners in a supervised, small-group or individual setting.

For individuals living with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or other bone health concerns, exercise is one of the most effective strategies for managing the condition. However, the type, intensity, and supervision of exercise matters. ONERO provides a structured, professionally guided program that meets the evidence-based requirements for bone health benefit while ensuring safety and appropriate progression.

What to Expect in Your ONERO Program Appointment at BeFit

Before starting the ONERO Program, you will attend an initial assessment at BeFit’s Edgecliff clinic. Your practitioner will review your medical history, discuss your bone health status, and conduct a physical assessment of your strength, balance, and functional capacity. If you have a recent DEXA scan, this will be reviewed as part of your assessment. If you do not, we can arrange one at our Edgecliff clinic.

The program consists of regular supervised sessions, typically twice per week, over a defined period. Sessions include resistance exercises targeting the major muscle groups and key skeletal sites, as well as impact exercises where appropriate. Your practitioner supervises every session, monitoring your technique and adjusting the program as your strength and confidence improve. Progress is tracked through regular reassessment and, where relevant, repeat DEXA scanning.

How ONERO Runs at BeFit

ONERO classes run in structured 10-week terms, with a locked weekly time slot — twice-weekly recommended — reserved for you for the full term. This structure reflects the consistency the program is designed around, with sessions supervised throughout by a trained practitioner. Contact us for current term availability and pricing.

Who Should Come to BeFit for ONERO Program

The ONERO Program at BeFit is for individuals who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, or who have been advised by their GP or specialist to undertake supervised exercise for bone health. It is also suitable for individuals with a family history of osteoporosis who want to take a proactive approach, post-menopausal women concerned about bone density, and anyone who wants a structured, evidence-based resistance training program specifically designed for bone health. Available at our Edgecliff clinic. A referral from your GP is recommended but not required.

FAQs

How much does the ONERO Program cost?
Pricing covers your Initial Assessment, 1:1 Appointment, and your chosen term structure. Contact our Edgecliff clinic for current pricing, and check with your private health fund to see whether your cover applies.

How often do I need to attend?
ONERO is designed around regular, structured sessions — typically twice weekly — to support consistent bone loading over the course of a term. A once-weekly option may be available; ask our team.

Do I need a GP referral?
A referral is recommended but not required. Many of our ONERO patients come to us directly, or on the recommendation of their GP or specialist.

What happens if I miss a class?
Because term places are reserved and class sizes are capped for safe supervision, missed sessions can’t be refunded or swapped ad-hoc. With advance notice, we’ll check for a spare spot in another scheduled ONERO class during your term, subject to availability.

Do I need a DEXA scan before starting?
If you haven’t had one in the past 12 months, we recommend it as part of your Initial Assessment, to give us a useful baseline. This can be arranged at our Edgecliff clinic.

Is ONERO only for people with osteoporosis?
No. ONERO is suitable for anyone diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, those advised by their GP or specialist to undertake supervised exercise for bone health, people with a family history of osteoporosis wanting a proactive approach, post-menopausal women concerned about bone density, and anyone wanting a structured, evidence-informed resistance program for bone health.

What happens in my first appointment?
Your Initial Assessment covers a review of your medical history and bone health status, along with a physical assessment of your strength, balance, and functional capacity. If you have a recent DEXA scan, we’ll review it as part of this — if not, we can arrange one.

What happens in my 1:1 Appointment?
Following your Initial Assessment, your 1:1 Appointment introduces you to the ONERO exercises themselves. Your practitioner will walk you through correct technique for each movement and tailor the program with any modifications specific to you, so you’re confident and set up safely before joining a group class.

Why Book An Appointment at BeFit Training Physiotherapy?
Research-Backed Program Design
The ONERO Program is built on the findings of the LIFTMOR and LIFTMOR-M trials, Australian research studies that demonstrated the effectiveness of high-intensity resistance and impact training for improving bone density and reducing fracture risk. The program follows a structured protocol that has been validated in clinical research, giving you confidence that the approach is grounded in strong evidence.
Supervised by Trained Practitioners
Every ONERO session at BeFit is supervised by a practitioner who has been specifically trained in the program’s delivery. This supervision ensures that exercises are performed with correct technique, appropriate intensity, and safe progression. For individuals with bone health concerns, professional supervision is essential to balance the need for sufficient loading with the management of individual risk factors.
Progressive and Individualised
While the ONERO Program follows a defined framework, it is adapted to each participant’s starting point. Your practitioner assesses your current strength, mobility, and bone health status before designing your program. Exercises are progressed gradually based on your response, ensuring the training remains challenging enough to stimulate bone adaptation while staying within your capabilities.
Integrated with BeFit’s Broader Services
At BeFit, the ONERO Program sits alongside our DEXA scanning, physiotherapy, and strength and conditioning services. If you require a DEXA scan to assess your baseline bone density, or if you need physiotherapy for a concurrent musculoskeletal issue, we can coordinate your care. This integration ensures your bone health program is supported by a comprehensive approach.
