We have sessions specially designed to go at a more moderate pace and with lower impact, to reduce the stress on joints.
Of course, if you're over fifty you can join in any of our fitness classes or activities, and swimming is a particularly good low impact exercise.
Most sessions run at both Queens Park Sports Centre and the Healthy Living Centre at various times, we have something specially for the over 50s on most days of the week.
Our 50+ activity day takes place at Queen's Park Sports Centre every Wednesday and at the Healthy Living Centre on Tuesday.
