You might not have noticed, but this is something we’d like to share with you.

Living in Fitness is not just about exercise… It’s about helping you stay strong, confident, and independent as you age.

We focus on adults 60+ because this stage of life is often overlooked by mainstream fitness providers.

Every class is designed with that in mind: to support your body, respect your pace, and help you keep doing the things that matter to you.

Feeling strong and confident shouldn’t have an age limit. We work to give you the space to feel comfortable, supported, and empowered to achieve that.

If I only work out once a week… is that really enough?

I’ve recorded a few tips on how to stay active, even with a busy routine. Hope it helps!

This was special! Our First Living In Fitness First Aid Workshop!

Last week, 14 of our members came together to learn essential First Aid skills.

Over the course of a few hours, they covered what to do in a medical emergency, when to use the recovery position, how to perform CPR, how to use a defibrillator and how to respond to choking. There was a focus on adults and paediatrics..

It was very personal, as i know some of those there were actively thinking about being able to support themselves, their other halves or grandchildren.

It was a lot to take in, but very valuable. Knowing what to do in those moments can make a real difference.

A special thank you to Mary, one of our long-standing members, who played a big part in making this happen. I shared with her and other members about a pretty traumatic choking event i had with my son, and i think that led us down this path.

We have around 200 members, so hopeful the event next year will be even bigger.

We also raised a small surplus from the session, which we were able to donate to the Air Ambulance team.

Take a look inside one of our community classes! 🌟

In these sessions, we stretch our bodies to enhance flexibility and prepare for the workout ahead. We also provide a non-judgemental environment that allows everyone to progress at their own pace.

Hope to see you there 😉

One of the reasons i started Living In Fitness is because i believed the fitness industry was overlooking the over 60’s.

Instructors weren’t specialised in working with older adults… Gyms werent welcoming.

It was easy to see that older adults wouldn’t feel included.

Things are slowly changing thankfully, i can see progress. But as a whole the problem still exists, and the population is only getting older.

Living In Fitness doesn’t believe age is a limit. Your body is still capable, you can still progress and develop.

We use dumbbells, slamballs, resistance bands, steps, and agility ladders.. Even planks of wood! All the fun stuff you would expect a younger crowd to use..

We use it all in our classes, but in a safe and effective way.

We talk a lot about exercise. But in reality, it’s not just about fitness.

The end goal is actually helping you to keep up with the family, care for your loved ones or even say yes to new experiences. The list is endless.

That’s what we focus on every day at Living in Fitness.

It's all about making fitness accessible and effective for everyone, regardless of physical ability. Our on Demand workouts cater for both seated and standing individuals.

→ Accessibility: everyone deserves to participate in fitness, and seated exercises make this possible for those with mobility or balance challenges.

→ Adaptability: providing options allows you to continue your fitness journey comfortably, adjusting to your needs over time.

→ Inclusiveness: we believe that fitness should be a welcoming and inclusive experience.

→ Safety: seated exercises are particularly safe for those who might be at risk of falling, allowing them to exercise without fear.

We’re here to support everyone’s health journey with adaptable and inclusive exercise options.

This type of movement supports everyday actions like lifting and reaching, while also helping to gently increase your fitness levels.

Go at a quick pace, but your own pace.

One of our members recently shared something quite special with us.

Back in December, she travelled to Florence with her two sisters. Their first holiday together in 50 years.

Fifty years! 😆

It’s a lovely reminder that new experiences don’t have to stop with time. In many ways, they can become even more meaningful.

Moments like this are about having the energy, confidence and independence to say yes when the opportunity comes.

That’s a big part of what we focus on at Living in Fitness!

Ann shared something we hear quite often.

She enjoys the sessions and at the same time, knows they’re doing her good.

This is so important! When you enjoy it it stops being something you have to do… It becomes something you actually look forward to.

Please, take a moment to hear her experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMkKDYEeIhM

We’ve always believed Living in Fitness is about more than just exercise.

It’s about helping people stay active, independent and well for longer.

Now, we’re taking a step to strengthen that commitment.

We’re in the process of becoming a non-profit organisation (CIC), designed to create long-term social impact.

So, what does this mean in practice?

• More reinvestment into our classes and community
• Greater access to funding to expand what we offer
• A stronger focus on improving health and quality of life

Don’t worry, we will continue with the same sessions, same approach, same support! 🙏👍
