We can support you in maintaining health, mobility and independence, with a variety of group exercise classes, both in-person and online.
Strength and balance classes can enable you to maintain health, mobility, and independence, to keep doing what you love for longer. Being active is also a great way to boost energy levels and general wellbeing.
Current participants have told us they love the social element and the opportunity to meet like-minded people, all whilst having fun and getting a little fitter.
During each class our amazing tutors will incorporate strength and resistance exercises (beneficial for muscle, bone and joint health, and help to make everyday tasks easier), along with balance exercises (to give greater confidence, improve posture and help to reduce your risk of falls).
The Strength and Balance classes include a variety of standing and seated exercises.
We have also introduced Strength and Balance Light classes for a gentler version of our popular classes.
