Vera, 78

"Katie provided me with exercises, confidence and support to progress my walking and independence with daily tasks following a fall and long hospital admission. The tailored exercises and dedicated support have transformed my recovery journey. I feel stronger and more confident than I have in a long time."

Bill, 60

I felt so much more prepared and confident going for my surgery following attending Katie's exercise classes. The classes not only improved my strength but also created a wonderful sense of community. I look forward to each session!"

Gwyneth, 84

Katie helped me re-gain the strength in my legs and movement in my shoulder following a road traffic accident. She was very patient and took her time to explain and adapt exercises to suit my limitations.

Physical Activity Guidelines for Older Adults:

Older adults should do some type of physical activity every day. It can help to improve your health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Adults aged 65 and over should aim to:

  • Be physically active every day, even if it's just light activity
  • Do activities that improve strength, balance and flexibility on at least 2 days a week
  • Do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity if you are already active, or a combination of both
  • Reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity.

If you've fallen or are worried about falling, doing exercises to improve your strength, balance and flexibility will help make you stronger and feel more confident on your feet.
