Local Exercise Programme

Active Surrey: Strength & Balance 'Otago' Classes
Keeping active and moving every day is vital to maintaining muscle strength and reducing your fall risk. If you have had a fall or are at risk of falls and prefer to be taken through exercises face-to-face, Otago classes can help you build your strength, balance and confidence.

Active Surrey: Exercise Classes if You Have a Condition/Disability
Exercise and being active are great for your health, whether you have a disability or long-term health condition or not.

Healthy Surrey: Local Activities
As we age, our muscle strength tends to decline, which can make us more susceptible to falls. There are things we can do to aid in strengthening our muscles and avoid falls as we age, such as joining Every One Active Otago Strength and Balance classes.  

Wobble: Seated Exercise Classes
Wobble™ offers an entry point to the millions of people who would benefit physically and mentally from a seated exercise class. Ideal for those who cannot stand for the duration of a 45-minute class and would like the option to sit or stand.

Paracise™: Low Impact Exercise Class to Music
Paracise™ offers an entry point to the millions of people who would benefit physically and mentally from lower-intensity exercise. Ideal for those who find regular fitness classes too demanding, or who haven’t exercised for a long time, or who are coming back from injury.
