Senior Activities

Our activities for seniors (over 66) are designed not only to keep you fit and active but also to provide a fantastic opportunity to socialize and make new friends. These activities are aimed at encouraging you to get out of the house, have fun, and stay healthy. You'll receive excellent support from our professional and friendly staff, who will help you achieve your best.

Joining a gym can be intimidating at any age. Whether you’re unfamiliar with the equipment, struggling with body confidence, or signing up for the first time, it’s natural to have reservations.

At Better, our mission is to make fitness accessible to everyone. Reducing anxiety around exercising is one of our top priorities. Our program extends beyond Hatfield Leisure Centre. Be sure to check out the full range of activities available at Hatfield Swim Centre

Wellness Hub

Unlike conventional exercise equipment, Innerva's machines do not rely solely on muscle power. Instead, they use an electronic power system, allowing for both passive and active workouts, tailored to your ability.

The equipment is also perfect for anyone coming back to exercise after periods of rest or inactivity. This includes the elderly, those with mobility issues and can also be used to manage and rehabilitate those living with conditions such as MS, Fibromyalgia and post stroke.

Working with each of the 12 machines, you will be able to target different muscle groups

We also have a dedicated Fitness Instructor for the Wellness Hub on Tuesday & Saturday mornings. If you need an induction to use this equipment you can book in with our resident Fitness Instructor which is included in your Better Health Senior Membership.
