Find Local Exercise Classes

Whether you're already active or looking to start, community-based exercise classes are a fantastic way to maintain and enhance your strength, balance, and overall health.

These classes, which often cover activities like aerobic exercises, tai chi, dancing, or bowls, are enjoyable and tailored to older adults.

Beyond the fitness benefits, joining an exercise class boosts your social interactions, providing opportunities for new friendships and shared motivation. A group dynamic can also help keep you motivated and committed to your goals.

Find the Right Class

Seek out exercise classes specifically designed for older individuals. Consider classes aimed at building strength and balance. Locally, we have a range of progressive classes for different abilities. They may be called 'strength and balance' classes, 'postural stability' or 'Pre-Ffit' or 'Re-Ffit'.
