Safe, friendly, effective weekly classes for seniors.

  • A mixture of seated and standing exercises with a chair support or without if you don’t need to use the chair. Chairs that we use are solid, stable and safe
  • Exercises that are accessible to everyone – whatever your ability, and anyone can do it
  • Exercises to music with a lovely group of people of a similar age and at a similar ability level
  • Each class is delivered face-to-face, not online, so you can interact directly with many other people who are in similar circumstances
  • Every session consists of an hour or an hour and 15 minutes
