What to expect

These classes are suitable if you are an older adult who hasn’t exercised before or you are noticing a decline in your physical ability. To find out when classes take place click on this link.

You can exercise at your own pace, doing a mixture of standing and seated exercises. You will need to be able to stand for most of the class and be able to walk around the hall.

Classes last for approximately one hour and are taught by a qualified and knowledgeable instructor who will be able to answer any questions you might have. Free refreshments are served after the class so if you want to meet others, there is time for a chat.
