Why Join SAYGO Strength & Balance Classes? 💪
SAYGO (Steady As You Go) is a specialised exercise programme developed to help older adults maintain independence and prevent falls. These classes are particularly beneficial if you:
- Use a walking aid or have reduced mobility
- Feel unsteady on your feet
- Want to improve your strength and balance
- Seek a supportive group environment
Each session includes gentle exercises that focus on improving your core strength, balance, and confidence. The exercises are done at your own pace, with options to sit or stand depending on your comfort level.
SAYGO classes are evidence-based and have been shown to reduce falls by up to 30% among regular participants. The programme incorporates functional movements that help with everyday activities like getting up from chairs, walking safely, and maintaining stability.
🤝 Beyond the physical benefits, SAYGO provides a wonderful opportunity to meet others in your community, make new friends, and enjoy a cuppa after class. Many participants report improved mood, better sleep, and greater confidence in daily activities.
No special equipment or fitness gear is needed - just wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. Our trained instructors ensure all exercises are safe and effective, with modifications available to suit individual abilities.
🌟 Join us weekly to improve your strength, balance, and wellbeing in a supportive, no-pressure environment. SAYGO classes are a proven way to maintain independence and enjoy a better quality of life.
