Strength and balance classes

Our Strength and Balance classes are designed to help you stay active, independent, and confident as you get older. Led by qualified instructors, these sessions offer safe, effective exercises in a friendly and social environment, helping you improve balance, build strength, and reduce your risk of falls while enjoying being part of a supportive community.

Whether you’re completely new to exercise or already active, there’s a class to suit every ability. Many participants tell us they feel stronger, more mobile, and more connected after just a few sessions.

If you are unsure if these classes are right for you or want to know more about them, please contact Kirsty Brown, Kirsty.brown@wesport.org.uk

Exercise is important for bone health and osteoporosis. 

Everyone can benefit from exercise. You can exercise whatever your age, condition or whether you've broken bones.

Why is exercise important?

Exercise is important because it can help you to: 

  • make your muscles and bones stronger - leading to less broken bones 
  • improve your balance so you're less likely to slip, trip or fall 
  • reduce your risk and symptoms of other medical conditions 
  • continue to do everyday activities and live independently when you're older
  • improve your brain function, make you happier and build your confidence.
