Join the Wellness Gym Project! This weekly health and wellbeing session with an exercise specialist will help you to build confidence in the gym through a positive and practical approach to fitness.

During this one-hour session, the group will learn how to use fitness equipment safely and effectively.

This project is motivated by the pressing need to support those living with disabilities and long-term health conditions (LTHC) such as arthritis, COPD, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, parkinsons, and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.

In the short term, we expect the participants to experience:

• Improved physical health, including increased fitness, energy, stamina, and overall wellbeing
• Increased social interaction, reduced feelings of loneliness, stress, and isolation
• Enhanced mental wellbeing, boosting mood, happiness, and mental focus
• Improved self-esteem, confidence and motivation
• Improved balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, and agility
• Reduced pain, fatigue, and stress

Keep Moving is also an ideal class for beginners and those dealing with long term health conditions, including the effects of long COVID.

This programme is a 16-week course. The first 8 weeks are supervised by an instructor and the second 8 weeks are based on independent progress.

This project is co-funded by Sports England and Hatfield Town Council.

Our Keep Moving sessions take place in our Strength Boutique gym at Birchwood Leisure Centre.
