Research has showed that older adults (65+ years) who participate in any amount of physical activity gain some health benefits, including maintenance of good physical and cognitive function. Some physical activity is better than none, and more physical activity provides greater health benefits. These include:

Exercise Referral and medical conditions
What is Exercise Referral?
If you have a medical condition and a medical professional has recommended that improving your health and fitness with the help and guidance of a Personal Trainer, then I could be the person for you.
Self-referral is also an option for this process.
The exercise referral scheme directs an individual to me to offer an assessment, which then leads to developing a tailored activity programme. This is then delivered with regular monitoring of progress and adaptations in line with fitness capabilities.
There are many proven benefits to this programme including
· Reducing the risk and management of chronic conditions.
· Improve the physical, mental, social and emotional well-being of participants.
· Promotion of weight management.
· Reducing the risk and occurrence of premature death.
· Reducing the risk of falls.
This scheme highlights activity promotion rather than government guidelines for physical activity as it is often part of a wider treatment plan. It tends to be a multi-disciplinary treatment plan involving consultation between each professional to ensure all needs of the client are being met appropriately.
When I am not seeing individual clients I run group sessions.
At the moment these run on:
Friday morning: 9:15am – 10:15am
Saturday morning: 8:30am – 9:30am.
Friday Fitness is a ladies only group.
It is a fantastic way to start the day, with exercise, laughter and support. The group has grown in size and camaraderie and we welcome new members regularly.
Saturday Sessions is run at Millennium House in Pensilva. When the weather is good we are on the sports field. When it becomes more inclement we take ourselves inside.
The group has a vast number of members ranging in age, fitness levels and attitude towards exercise. Each session is planned so that every member can work as hard as they wish, with no pressure to be pushed too far out of their comfort zone – unless they want to be! There is a choice of equipment ranging from heavy weights to light resistance and always easier or harder versions of exercises offered. Many of the group come along with family members bringing a healthy amount of competition with them
Please get in contact if you fancy giving one of these group sessions a try.
