The Sands Centre is home to sessions that are aimed at seniors aged 65. This fantastic initiative is designed to keep our beloved seniors active, foster new friendships, and improve their social, mental, and physical well-being. We encourage everyone to join in and give it a go!
Multi sports activitys will take place every Monday morning in the Sports Hall from 9am to 1pm. Providing a vibrant and engaging environment for seniors to participate in a range of enjoyable activities including pickleball, table tennis, badminton and carpet bowls. The session offers the diverse array of activities to cater to various interests and fitness levels. These activities are not only fun but also help maintain good physical fitness and promote a healthy lifestyle whilst having fun and meeting new people.
It doesn't matter if you've never played before or you're a pro come along and give it a go.
Chair Yoga is available for seniors on a Monday at 11am in one of our studios.
Chair yoga is done whilst seated or using a chair for balance and is a more gentle form of yoga. It can have many benefits helping with pain, inflammation and feelings of well being and many more.
Chair Yoga is bookable in centre and is very popular.
Our senior circuits class is part of our Wednesday walking session. Providing a range of stations which can help with improving muscular strength, bone density and endurance. It also helps to boost metabolism and help with balance and co ordination. All whilst having a good laugh and meeting new people! It is a friendly session with a qualified fitness instructor.
Looking to become more active or get back in to swimming our exclusive lane-swimming sessions where we run no lanes for more social swimming, book yourself in to one of these sessions to have that refreshing swim whilst connecting with like minded individuals. Making new friends and keeping active at the same time.
Come along and enjoy the gym facilities during a time where one of our fitness instructors will be on hand to give advice. Helping to explain the benefits of the different equipment and exercises to help you get the most out of your gym session. This is the perfect session for you to try the gym for the first time or get back in to exercise.
These sessions run on a Monday 9am-12pm, Wednesday 10am-1pm and Friday 12.30pm-3pm
Come and join us on a Wednesday morning 10am-1pm where we enjoy the lovely flat walks surrounding The Sands Centre whilst meeting new friends and socialising. We even have some of our four legged furry friends tagging along too! After our walk we return back to The Sands Centre were we enjoy hot refreshments and biscuits. Finally we have a circuits class that is specific to our seniors in our new sports hall which is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities and any exercise is modified if required.
