How much is enough?
Everyone has differing levels of fitness, however we should all be working towards at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity per week. This is because research has shown that this is the amount which is needed to keep our hearts, lungs, muscles and bones working well.
Nervous about exercising for the first time?
What’s stopping you?
“I’m not fit enough”
Everyone has varying fitness levels and it’s important to work at your own pace. You’ll be surprised at how quickly our bodies adapt to exercise and we begin to feel the benefits.
“I’m too old”
You’re never too old to be more physically active, our bodies can gain strength and fitness, just as it did when you were younger.
“I don’t want to go on my own”
You can contact us to find out who will be leading the session before you attend and rest assured there will be lots of friendly faces to meet once you decide to come to one of our sessions.
“Exercise is too dangerous”
By gradually increasing the amount of physical activity you take part in, it is unlikely that you will get injured. Additionally, all our sessions are led by fitness professionals, registered at a minimum of level 2 on REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals) who will ensure each activity is safe and appropriate.
"I don't like sport"
Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing competitive sport; walking, exercise classes, and dancing around to your favourite songs are some of the great ways to be more active without playing sport.
