We offer a range of low intensity fitness classes suitable for seniors:
Our Adult Basic Classes combine simpler movements, like stretches and core strengthening exercises. Suitable for beginners and seniors alike, these classes are ideal for those new to fitness or returning to the gym after a break.
If you’re over 60 and looking to get more active, our Better Health Senior Membership allows you to access our gym, swimming pool, steam room, sauna and fitness classes, all at a competitive price.
At Better, we believe that staying socially active is just as important as staying physically active – at any age.
And if all that isn’t enough, as Better is a not-for-profit organisation, all proceeds from your membership fees are reinvested right back into your local community, enabling us to make fitness more accessible for everyone.
Our coffee mornings are a social event to enable people to visit the leisure centre, have the opportunity to look round and ask questions, and take away information on programmes and activities without needing to commit to anything or even take part in an activity on the day.
We love to welcome new people to the centre and also interact with those who visit us on a regular basis. A healthy mind is an asset, have fun and stay active.
Session Days / Times: Tuesdays 10:00-12:00
There is no need to book ahead simply turn up on the day. We look forward to welcoming you.
