Elderfit
"Providing group and individual exercise sessions for the older person."
We are a Community Interest Company who specialise in exercise for the older person. Our aim is to reduce falls through strength and balance exercises, as well as offering a socially stimulating environment.
Although the main aim of the session is to reduce the risk of falls, Elderfit also aims to strengthen upper body muscles for participants, so if a fall does happen they will be more able to pull themselves back up. Creating independence is a key element to the classes, therefore helping people re-discover their confidence and stability.
The sessions are fun, educational and increasingly challenging- but most importantly they are engaging, thus reducing isolation and loneliness. Elderfit provides a social element where individuals can meet like-minded people, make friends, and get fitter whilst doing it.
" I suffer with COPD and Osteoporosis which has left me with 3 fractures in my spine. I realise I must try and remain active. I have tried various exercise programmes that did not suit me. Six months ago I joined the Otago class what a big difference I found it contains lots of exercises that I can do at my own pace. I have found that now I have more energy and confidence and have met like minded people that have turned out to be my new friends "

The classes draw on a variety of techniques, including mobility exercises, resistance bands and hand/ leg weights. Tom and Gareth adapt all exercises to suit individual’s needs, to ensure that participants feel the full benefits of the classes. The sessions currently run in private care homes and community facilities, with group sessions and private one on one sessions available. Our services are split into three categories - all ranges of ages and abilities are covered, ensuring that all clients’ skill levels are catered to.
