"I attend the outdoor classes and also the move and strength classes. They are made fun by Dave and Meg. I really notice an improvement in my fitness". Yvonne H

This one comes up a lot, often quietly:

“What should I wear to exercise at my age?”

The answer is reassuringly simple.

Wear something comfortable, that you can move easily in. Leggings, tracksuit bottoms, shorts, a t-shirt or jumper, whatever feels like you. Supportive trainers are helpful, but nothing fancy is required.

At Kesson, you won’t find pressure to look a certain way. Our focus is on how you move and how you feel, not how you look.

You don’t need special clothes to take care of your body. Just the willingness to show up.

We’re often asked:

“Is personal training safe for someone over 65?”

When it’s done properly - yes, absolutely.

At Kesson, our personal training is therapist-led, which means every session is designed around your body, your history, and your needs. We don’t guess. We assess.

Whether you’re managing arthritis, recovering from injury, living with osteoporosis, or just feeling less steady than you used to, your programme is tailored to you. Progressing at a pace that feels safe and achievable.

Personal training for over 65s isn’t about pushing limits. It’s about protecting independence, reducing injury risk, and helping you move with confidence.

Safe movement is powerful medicine.

PS we promise to make it fun!

One of the most common questions we hear is:

“Am I too old to start strength training?”

The honest answer? No.

We work with clients aged from their early 60s right through to their 90s. Many start feeling unsure, stiff, or worried they’ve left it too late and then surprise themselves with just how capable their bodies still are.

Strength training after 60 isn’t about lifting heavy weights or pushing through pain. At Kesson, it’s about building confidence, supporting joints, improving balance, and making everyday life easier.

The body is remarkably adaptable at any age. Especially when movement is guided, progressive, and evidence-based.

If you’re breathing, you’re not too old to get stronger.

"The question we hear most from people over 65: 'But where do I even start?'

Here's our answer:

Step 1: Give us a call. We chat about what you want to be able to do, what's stopping you, and whether we're the right fit. No obligation. No pressure.

Step 2: If you want to proceed, we recommend either:

Personal training sessions (one-to-one, bespoke to you)
Our gentle introduction class (small group, all focusing on actively ageing)

Step 3: We assess where you are and create a plan. Not where you 'should' be. Where you actually are.

Step 4: You start getting stronger. We adjust as you progress. You build confidence.

That's it. No complicated programmes. No confusing jargon. Just expert guidance and support.

The hardest part is step 1. Everything else, we do together.

'I thought personal training was for young people trying to get abs. I'm 71 and just wanted to be able to garden again.'

This is Janet. She came to us 18 months ago with chronic back pain and a fear of falling.

Last week, she deadlifted 25kg and told me her garden has never looked better.

This is what's possible when you combine expert physiotherapy knowledge with personal training designed specifically for over 65s.

Safe. Progressive. Confidence-building.

If you've been putting off getting stronger because you think you're too old, Janet would like a word.

💪 Your independence is your greatest strength and it’s never too late to build it.

After 40 years of treating patients, here’s what we’ve learned: the strongest predictor of staying independent after 70 isn’t genetics, it’s strength.

Not just the physical kind (though that matters a lot). Strength to keep trying. Strength to ask for help. Strength to ignore the voice that says, “I’m too old for this.”

At Kesson Faversham, we work with clients aged 65–92. Every single one started thinking they couldn’t do it. And every single one surprised themselves.

Our evidence-based personal training for over 65s - whether one-to-one sessions or our Move & Strength classes - isn’t about becoming an athlete. It’s about being able to:

✅ Pick up your grandchildren without worry
✅ Carry your own shopping
✅ Garden without back pain the next day
✅ Walk without fear of falling
✅ Travel and enjoy life with confidence

We start with where you are today, progress at your pace, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Because getting stronger after 65 isn’t about vanity it’s the best investment in the life you want to live.

At Kesson, we believe in celebrating the moments that make us proud, big or small. 💪

From “managed my first 18 holes of golf after my hip replacement” to “finally sorted my loft out - 5 dump runs later and I’m feeling better!” Our Wall of Wins is filled with real stories from our amazing community.

Each win tells a story of progress, perseverance, and positivity; and together, they remind us how far we’ve all come.

✨ Our goal: to bring pride and positivity to our community.

Whether you’ve smashed a goal, overcome a challenge, or simply had a better day than yesterday, your win matters.

Next time you visit Kesson, take a moment to read our Wall of Wins… or add your own!

You never know who you might inspire. 💛

Let’s keep celebrating the everyday victories that make life brighter one win at a time.

At Kesson, we love seeing new faces join our sessions,but what really inspires us are the people who keep showing up, week after week.

Why? Because regular movement creates lasting change.

Those who attend consistently often notice:
✅ Better posture and strength
✅ More confidence in movement
✅ Greater balance and ease in daily life

Showing up ad hoc can feel good in the moment, but regular sessions help your body remember how to move well, it becomes part of how you live.

That’s what The Kesson Way is all about: consistency, confidence, and movement that lasts.
