Improve Your Strength & Balance in a Supportive Environment 🌟

SAYGo (Steady As You Go) classes are evidence-based exercise programmes specifically developed to help older adults improve their strength and balance in a safe, social environment. These classes are perfect for those who want to maintain independence and reduce the risk of falls.

Each session incorporates:

• Gentle warm-ups to prepare your body for movement
• Seated exercises that focus on building core strength
• Standing exercises (with support if needed) to improve balance
• Stretching routines to maintain flexibility
• Social interaction with like-minded people in your community

🧠 Regular attendance at strength and balance classes has been shown to reduce falls by up to 30% among older adults. These classes aren't just good for your physical health—they're an opportunity to meet new friends and stay connected with your community.
