Forever Active testimonials
With a range of activities on offer, we have something to cater for everyone whether you are looking to learn a new skill later in life or picking up a previous skill. Staying social is just as important as keeping fit and active, but don't just take our word for it...
Pilates - John
"Pilates is a great form of exercise which helps to strengthen the body. A bit like Yoga, it is also good for balance and flexibility and is suitable for both for beginners and for those who already exercise regularly. In Pilates, the chance of injury is much lower than with other forms of exercise. I find it so good that I attend two classes each week."
Gym Circuits - Margaret
"I have been participating in Gym Circuits for a few years. I enjoy this class because it gives me confidence using the gym and its equipment under supervision. The qualified instructors ensure that you are doing the exercises safely and correctly. The numerous exercises are devised to work on different parts of the body. As this is a group session, you are working with people of a similar age and ability. It’s a time when you can have fun and make friends, as well as working to your own ability."
Yoga - Sheila
"After an exhilarating morning of various energetic activities, it’s very pleasant and relaxing to join the Yoga class for an hour in the afternoon. Our knowledgeable instructor gently guides us through controlled breathing techniques and various Yoga postures which are suitable for our age group (mostly 50 plus) which are designed to help us maintain flexibility and balance. We concentrate on “Breath, Mind and Body”. The class ends with a short period of restful relaxation which brings inner peace and calm and is a lovely way to round off the day’s activities."
Pickleball - Lyn
"After Covid I came back to my Aerobics class at Forever Active. I was looking for an extra activity and heard they were starting Pickleball. I had read about it and was keen to find out more. Its elements are a cross between badminton, table tennis and tennis. With the help of the instructor, it was easy to pick up. You don’t have to be super fit, and meeting new people added to the enjoyment of learning a new sport."
Group Cycling - Graham
"I never thought that I would be able to do a spin class, but the instructor led Forever Active class on Thursday morning has proved me wrong. A friendly group of people, like all in the Forever Active crew, and you can choose your own level. A great workout. Just don’t forget your drinks bottle.”
Table Tennis – Carol
"When I joined Forever Active I was a complete novice to table tennis but quickly learned that there was a bit more to it than the names 'ping pong' suggests. I really enjoy the flexible, easy-going sessions – players come and go throughout the morning, some play from beginning to end while others stay for just a few games; sitting out to watch and chat is okay too. Some people like to play twice a week, some just come when they can. Ages range from 50-ish to nearly 90 and there is a variety of abilities. From rusty school players to hardened spinners – no two games are ever the same. We mostly play doubles but there is usually an opportunity to play singles or just have a practice hit. Most of all it is great fun – we tend to laugh quite a lot – and it is a good workout for body and mind."
