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
