The evidence behind Onero
For people who have just been told they have low bone density, the first barrier is often fear. Avanti explains the evidence, then checks whether this pathway is suitable before any class step.
LIFTMOR and Onero evidence
Reported after 12 months of supervised Onero training in the clinical evidence reviewed for Avanti.
Avanti outcomes data
Mean lumbar spine BMD improved by 3% across Avanti Onero participants in the supplied clinical outcomes data.
Safety record
The published clinical research reports one training-related injury across 6,612 combined weeks of supervised training.
JBMR Top 5 Paper
The research behind Onero was named a Top 5 Attention Grabbing Paper by the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research in 2017.
ESSA Practitioner Award
Three-year findings from The Bone Clinic won the Practitioner Award at the 2018 ESSA Research to Practice meeting.
Licensed delivery
Avanti explains the evidence and assessment pathway while exercise programming is delivered by trained clinicians in supervised classes.
Read the source research
The published Journal of Bone and Mineral Research trial compared supervised high-intensity resistance and impact training with a low-intensity home exercise program in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
Download the journal articleIndividual outcomes vary. Avanti confirms clinical suitability through an Exercise Physiology assessment, and you should consult your primary care provider to understand treatment options.
Is it safe for me?
It is natural to feel uncertain about higher-intensity training with an osteoporosis or osteopenia diagnosis. Avanti starts with an Exercise Physiology assessment so your history, scan or referral context, co-existing conditions and confidence can be checked before any class step.
Every new participant starts by asking about a 1:1 Exercise Physiology assessment, not by jumping straight into a group session.
Onero is delivered under clinical supervision by appropriately trained health professionals, with loads and progressions monitored.
Your clinician reviews the starting point and adjusts the pathway to suit your ability, history and confidence as you improve.

Questions
Yes. New participants should speak with Avanti so assessment needs, class options and next steps can be checked before joining a group class.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
Class days and times vary by clinic and are confirmed when you enquire. Tell Avanti your preferred location and the local team sends the current options.
Cheltenham runs a separate Bone Health Class pathway, not the Onero program. If you choose Cheltenham, Avanti will direct you to the local bone health assessment or class option.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti can confirm the assessment step and what information the Exercise Physiologist needs before you join a class.
Program and class details are confirmed directly by Avanti. The public page avoids publishing class programming, exercise selection, or session structure.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Next step
Mention that this is a bone health class enquiry, your preferred location, and any referral or health-history context Avanti should know before an assessment discussion.
Check the assessment pathway first so you know what information the Exercise Physiologist needs before any class step.
Tell Avanti what's going on. Who needs support, where, and the main concern - in your own words.
Avanti comes back to you. The team confirms the right service, clinician and funding option before any appointment is set.
You decide. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
