Anyone who has a long term health condition or wishes to improve their general well-being can join our exercise classes and become a member. A spouse, partner or carer of a member is also welcome to exercise with the class.

The Benefits

Long term health conditions can be demanding on you in many ways. You may feel that you have no ability to carry out routine daily activities as you once could, or that you’re left feeling isolated and detached.

You will find that exercising within your ability will improve your wellbeing and your ability to do more. The more that you are able to do, the more fun you will have - this will have a knock on effect in your everyday life.
