Senior Activities

Our Seniors (over 66) activities are not only designed to keep you fit and active, they also provide a great opportunity to socialise and meet new friends. The activities are aimed at getting you out of the house and to make sure you are having fun and keeping healthy at the same time. You’ll receive great support from our professional and friendly staff who will help you achieve your best.

Regardless of your age, joining a gym can be an intimidating experience. Whether you’re unfamiliar with the equipment, you’re struggling with your body confidence or this is your first time signing up – there are plenty of reasons why you may have your reservations.

At Better, our mission is to make fitness accessible to everyone, meaning that removing anxiety around exercising is one of our top priorities. The programme doesn't stop at Hatfield Swim Centre either, check out the full programme of activities you can access at Hatfield Leisure Centre:
