About Strength & Balance Training for Seniors

Strength and balance classes are specially designed to help older adults maintain independence and prevent falls. 👵👴 These sessions focus on improving stability, muscle strength, and confidence in everyday movements.

Regular participation in strength and balance exercises has been proven to:

• Reduce the risk of falls by up to 30%
• Improve coordination and stability
• Enhance mobility and independence
• Boost confidence in daily activities
• Provide a supportive social environment

SAYGo (Steady As You Go) classes are particularly effective because they offer exercises that can be adapted to individual abilities. Each session typically includes gentle warm-ups, seated and standing exercises, and functional movements that relate to everyday activities.

The supportive group environment creates a sense of community while improving your physical wellbeing. You'll learn techniques to maintain balance, strengthen key muscle groups, and perform daily tasks with greater ease.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or simply wanting to stay active as you age, this class provides a safe, structured approach to physical activity under knowledgeable guidance.

No previous exercise experience is necessary - our friendly instructors will help you work at your own pace in a welcoming, non-judgmental atmosphere.
