Strength and Balance is a gentle community exercise class focused on light cardio and bodyweight strength training. Designed for older adults and for family members who support them, the session aims to build mobility and confidence. The class runs on Friday mornings at Sefton Community Centre and fits easily into a busy family schedule.
Participants can expect a friendly, low impact session that mixes balance exercises with light cardio and functional strength moves. The focus is on safe movement, improving everyday mobility and reducing fall risk for seniors and older adults.
Sessions will typically include a warm up, a series of bodyweight strength exercises, balance practice and a cool down. Examples of activities include:
- Gentle marching and step work for light cardio
- Chair based or standing strength moves using body weight
- Balance drills and mobility stretches
The atmosphere is social and supportive, perfect for carers who want their older family members to stay active and engaged. The class is suitable for beginners and those who want a steady paced session to maintain fitness and independence.
This event runs weekly on Fridays from 08:00 to 09:00 at Sefton Community Centre. The class is ideal for seniors, older adults and carers looking to support family members in maintaining strength and balance.
Sessions are instructor led and focus on functional, practical exercises that translate to everyday tasks such as climbing stairs and carrying shopping. No heavy equipment is required, just comfortable clothing and shoes.
The class is suitable for a range of fitness levels and encourages participants to work at their own pace. Parents who balance school runs and caring responsibilities will find the morning time practical and manageable.
The class is held at Sefton Community Centre, 73 Batt Street, Sefton 2162. The community centre is a local hub and easy to find for families in the area.
There is local street parking and nearby public transport options, making drop off and pick up during school runs straightforward. Accessibility is considered, but if you have specific mobility needs please contact the council before attending.
The venue provides a comfortable community space with seating and toilets on site. Bring a small towel and a water bottle to stay comfortable during the session.
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and supportive footwear suitable for light exercise. If there are any health concerns, consult a GP before starting an exercise program to ensure safety.
This class supports social connection as well as physical wellbeing, offering parents peace of mind that their older relatives can exercise in a supervised group. If you care for an older family member, this session can help maintain independence and confidence.
Places may be limited some weeks, so it is a good idea to ring ahead for the latest information and any accessibility requirements. The session is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to beginners.
