Introducing Strength & Balance classes for over 60s — a fresh, fun and progressive way to build strength, improve balance and boost confidence.
These classes use a circuit-style format, with different activity stations around the room. You’ll spend a short time at each station before taking a break and moving on to the next activity.
Each station is designed to support a different part of your fitness, including:
🏋️‍♂️ Building strength
🤸 Improving balance
💓Supporting heart health
The circuit format allows you to follow a more personalised programme, helping you gradually build up your strength, try more challenging exercises when you’re ready and feel steadier in daily life.
Come along and try it out for FREE! Increase your confidence with everyday movements and enjoying great music, a welcoming atmosphere and exercises designed with older adults in mind.

What if one of the best ways to feel better didn’t come in a bottle, an app or an expensive treatment?
What if it was simply moving your body? 💜💚
A major new study published in Nature Human Behaviour analysed almost one million hours of physical activity and more than 320,000 wellbeing ratings from over 8,000 people.
The findings were exciting:
✨ Moving more was linked with feeling better afterwards
✨ Feeling better made people more likely to move again
✨ The strongest link wasn’t just happiness — it was energy
In other words, movement and wellbeing can create a positive cycle.
At Move it or Lose it, we see this every week. People may join because they know they “should” exercise, but they stay for the laughter, friendships, confidence and feel-good energy they gain along the way.
Our latest Turn Back the Clock: The Age-Defying Edit blog explores why moving more can help you feel better — and why feeling better can help you keep moving.

Wow!! What fabulous results 💪🏋️‍♂️

Our Class Members Are Bucking the National Trend

Older adults are the least likely to strength train in the UK.
But thanks to the hundreds of members who responded to our latest survey, we know our Move it or Lose it members are bucking the trend. Here’s what we found:
💪 97% are doing strength training at least once a week
💪 47% are doing it twice a week or more
💪 92% feel physically stronger
💪 98% believe strength training is helping them stay independent

And this is what strength looks like in real life:
✔ 70% find getting up from a chair easier
✔ 43% find climbing stairs easier
✔ 42% can walk longer distances
✔ 35% find carrying shopping easier

It’s exactly what Professor Janet Lord describes as one of the most powerful interventions we have to prevent frailty and maintain independence.

Our members aren’t slowing down.
They’re getting stronger.

Why don't you come along and try a class for FREE and see what it can do for you 🙂.
