We offer a friendly atmosphere, a small, social community, and classes taught by someone who is qualified to teach exercise for seniors
Over 60s Classes
In the past, our over 60s classes have been held on behalf of various government and community groups, including the Bedford Primary Care Trust, Bedfordshire Pilgrims Housing Association, the Alzheimer's Society, and The Bedford Caribbean Senior Citizens Association.
Angharad, the teacher, as part of her Exercise to Music Instructor qualification has had special training in teaching seniors. Classes are tailored to suit the abilities of all participants, from gentle chair-based exercise through to aerobics.
Maintaining physical fitness throughout life is important, however this is especially true for older members of the community. Age UK director general Michelle Mitchell has said: “The impact of a fall can be devastating and the scale of the issue is a real concern, especially as we know that prevention is so much better than cure.We’re encouraging people to find out how to introduce simple strength and balance exercises into day-to-day life to help prevent falls".
Over 60s Movement2music
This class is tailored to meet the needs of the participants and includes a mixture of standing and chair-based exercises. Socialising is a large aspect of this class with time dedicated after class for all of the participants to do so over tea or coffee in a relaxed setting.
