To match your needs, we are introducing two levels of Strong and Steady classes, so you can join a session that is right for you.
Our Get Strong Get Steady classes will help you transition from seated to standing exercises, whilst also helping to strengthen specific joints.
Our Stay Strong Stay Steady classes will help to strengthen your lower body muscles, improve your balance and increase your confidence in moving around.

Nordic Walking in Sedgemoor
Nordic Walking is an enhanced walking technique that uses poles to work your upper body as well as your legs. It puts less strain on joints than other activities and can be very effective for people with mobility issues or those recovering from illness or injury. It's a whole body work out that doesn't feel like one!
Ideally designed for people over 55 who want to get active in a fun and friendly way.
