Exercise Classes for the Elderly

Chair-based Exercise Classes
 
Exercise classes provide some wonderful benefits for our bodies, improving their cardiovascular health (heart & lungs), raising our energy levels, making us feel better and look better, strengthening our muscles and bones, and improving our flexibility and ability to get about.
 
At Healthwise we are passionate about health and fitness and we provide a range of exercise classes for all age groups who would like to exercise but can’t get to the gym for whatever reason. Eg. Elderly people, people with physical and mental limitations, people in sheltered homes, and people who just find it easier for someone to come to them, eg. Asian and Turkish Ladies. We take the exercise class to the clients. We provide the music, exercise equipment and the class and you provide the people and the premises.
 
The exercise class lasts from 45mins to 1 hour and incorporates cardiovascular exercises, strengthening exercises, balance, stretching and breathing exercises to bring about total health. And it’s fun and energising for the participants. We all have a laugh while everybody gets healthier and happier.
 
Classes cost £45ph for single sessions and take place at your sheltered housing scheme/community centre or care home in the Waltham Forest and surrounding areas. (A reduced fee of £40ph will be charged if you have the class twice a week which is recommended so as to get a training effect).
 
We also run some exercise and Tai Chi classes on behalf of Age Concern and the YMCA.
 
Some of the benefits of exercise are :
  •  Greater strength in all muscles
  • Relaxation and stress release 
  • Better heart and lung function
  • Improved flexibility & mobility of joints
  • Greater confidence & self esteem
  • Increased energy levels
  •  Improved balance (less falls)
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Better sleep at night
  • Improved social community interaction and happiness
  • Greater health, vitality and youthfulness
We provide one FREE 45mins Taster session so your members can experience the class and decide if they would like it on a regular basis.
