The key to good posture is correct body alignment, something that FLexercise teachers pay particular attention to when planning their classes.
By making a conscious effort to sit, stand, and move with good posture, you support your overall well-being, making everyday tasks easier and helping you feel and look better.
FLexercise classes are fun and achievable - combining body awareness and core control with exercise and movement to music - a perfect mix!
FL classes are available in the community and online.

All of us in FLexercise are saddened to hear of the death of Iain Douglas Hamilton. His mother Prunella Stack, our late President, was so proud of him and loved to talk about his work and family. We send love and sympathy to his wife Oria and his family, especially to Saba who succeeded her grandmother as President of FLexercise. Her wonderful video message played at our recent 95th Anniversary Celebrations brought her closer to us. Iain was a remarkable man from a remarkable family.

We're always delighted to see the success of EMD UK's delivery partners and FLexercise has hit a particularly exciting milestone - 95 years in business! That’s some staying power!
FLexercise started out as the Women’s League of Health and Beauty in 1930, the brain child of Mary Bagot Stack. Her system of exercise, with good posture as a core component, quickly captured the imagination of the nation. Sadly Mary died in 1935 and didn’t get to see her work evolve, but her daughter, Prunella, took the reins and continued with Mary’s dream - bringing the joy of movement and exercise to 1000s of women in person and online.
Naturally FLexercise are very proud to still be here, 95 years later, holding their own in an industry that has changed immeasurably. Long may it continue. Find out more about their journey here:

FLexercise Classes are fantastic for helping to strengthen bones in an enjoyable and fun way.
The theme for World Osteoporosis Day 2025 is ‘It’s Unacceptable!’. The knowledge and tools exist to prevent fragility fractures caused by osteoporosis, yet many people go undiagnosed and untreated.
Healthy bones are integral to our overall well-being and independence.
Weight-bearing exercise makes you work against gravity, ‘loading’ and strengthening the bones. Research suggests that exercise can actually increase bone density - definitely a top reason to keep active with FLexercise!

The most amazing weekend ever. Absolutely brilliant!
What a wonderful day our 95th anniversary celebration proved to be. You can’t put a price on the value of reconnecting with friends, enjoying classes and performances, or simply just appreciating the League, its rich history and the difference it has made to so many.
To our wonderful teachers and participants, thank you, thank you, thank you! And an even bigger thank you to the Events Team and their trusty team of volunteers for making this special day a reality!
