Before starting any exercise programme, it’s advisable to seek advice from your GP or a health professional if you have any health concerns, such as a health condition or an injury.
Fleur’s Pilates
Fleur’s Pilates classes are suitable for all ages. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, you will be sure of a welcome for just £8/£91 a session. For more details, or to book, contact Fleur at [email protected].
Classes run on:

Pilates is an exercise system designed by Joseph Pilates to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve overall health. Regular practice will help to develop core strength and stability, improve posture and encourage greater mobility. When we move well, we feel well!
Fleur advises you to bring your own mat and a small towel.
Love to Move
Aimed at ‘more mature’ attendees, Love to Move is a movement programme, designed by British Gymnastics, to aid in memory, balance, and socialisation. It is a seated programme set to a fantastic music playlist which will get you all moving and thinking at the same time. It has shown incredible results with people living with dementia as well as those who just want to get out and improve their fitness.
Sessions run every Thursday (any public holidays excepted) in the Scout Hut on Lexden Road from 10:30 – 11:45 including time for refreshments and a chat. Costing just £5 you just have to turn up to join in.
