Whether you're already active or looking to start your journey, community-based exercise classes offer a fantastic way to maintain and improve your strength, balance, and fitness.
As well as the physical benefits, joining an exercise class can help you meet new people and creates opportunities for new friendships. A group dynamic can also help keep you motivated and committed to your goals.
Seek out exercise classes specifically designed for older individuals. Ideally, consider classes aimed at falls prevention, often labelled as "postural stability" or "Otago" programs.
Local leisure centres, authorities and voluntary organisations can provide more information on available classes:
