New Strong and Steady classes are now running in North Somerset and Somerset!
We are expanding our service...
We are thrilled to announce new exercise sessions across North Somerset to help you stay independent. Our classes are now in Weston-Super-Mare, Winscombe, Clevedon, Yatton, Shipham, Portishead and Nailsea.
To match your needs, we are introducing two levels of Strong and Steady classes, so you can join a session that is right for you.
Our Get Strong Get Steady classes will help you transition from seated to standing exercises, whilst also helping to strengthen specific joints.
Our Stay Strong Stay Steady classes will help to strengthen your lower body muscles, improve your balance and increase your confidence in moving around.

Are you aged over 45?
Are you independently mobile and able to carry out individual exercises?
Are you willing to attend the class twice a week for six weeks?
If so, then this program might be just right for you.
