My belief is exercise should be fun. We don’t have to go to a gym, or lift heavy weights, or run marathons. We need to move, and we need to find enjoyment in this movement or we won’t come back to it again.

The over 55’s classes I offer include the following:

  • ACTIVE is a class that consists of basic aerobics (no complex routines), and whole body, functional movement exercises, both standing and floor based, to build on strength, balance and coordination. There is minimal chair work included in ACTIVE classes. Hand weights and resistance bands are optional but recommended. Yoga mats are compulsory. Classes run for 50 minutes.

    This class is not suitable for: Beginners or those not currently participating in regular light to moderate aerobic-based exercise, those with reduced balance/stability/mobility and those who have had recent falls or falls related injuries.

  • FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT is a class that focuses on functional movement, strength, balance and coordination exercises. There is a small amount of aerobic work included (no complex routines), combined with some chair work. Hand weights and resistance bands are optional but recommended. There is no floor work in FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT classes so there is no need for a yoga mat. Classes run for 50 minutes.

    This class is not suitable for: Acute or unstable cardiac, respiratory or musculo-skeletal conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, poorly controlled diabetes or those with reduced balance/stability/mobility, recent falls or requiring a walking aid for mobility.

Coming soon

  • CHAIR BASED - This class will be ideal for a beginner or someone who is not so active and looking to start a regular exercise program. The class will consist of predominately chair based exercises focusing on strength, balance and mobility. More information to follow.

CHARLOTTE C FITNESS POLICY: 

As I am currently fully booked I cannot offer make-ups. If a serious illness robs you of more than 2 weeks attendance in a row I will do my best to compensate you through make ups should another participant be away. However, please note that I cannot guarantee this.

  • At the absolute maximum only two makeup lessons will be allowed per client each term and only in the event you are unwell, not for holidays etc.

  • If you are able to do so, please provide at least 24 hours' notice for non-attendance. This allows me to offer makeup lessons to other clients.

  • I do not issue credits for missed lessons. If you are due a makeup lesson and I can fit you in to another class this must be made up during the school term. 

  • Fees are issued for the full term and are payable by the end of the first week of term.
