With £3,277 from Sport England’s Together Fund, the group has been able to support their members requests and partnered with local business, Embrace Personal Training to deliver a variety of classes including chair yoga and chair Pilates.
These classes have been developed to be low impact exercises, and known to improve posture and balance, increase flexibility, enhance core strength, and is an accessible exercise options for all abilities.
Danielle Parkin manager of the Ever Young Club, said: “We have had so many successes from this project and every member has joined in.
“One that stands out is a lady who attends each week whose balance is very off and depends a lot on a walker, however each week we have seen an improvement in her from just simple exercises.
“It is also really refreshing how happy all the members are to join in each week, it has boosted their moods and energy levels, giving them a skip in their step as soon as they hear the music.’’
