Exercises for the Over 60s

Regular exercise has important benefits in older age surrounding physical and mental health, and social wellbeing. For more information on the advantages, please take a look at our Age Space Guide to Keeping Healthy in Old Age.

As a county, Surrey is very well-served by exercise classes specifically designed for the elderly. There is sure to be a group to suit your elderly relative, regardless of interest or ability.

Exercise classes are also a great way to meet new people and socialise, thereby combating loneliness. If you are looking for other ways for your relative to avoid feeling isolated, you may also be interested in Befriending Services in Surrey.

EXTEND exercise classes are based around gentle seated and standing movements to music. Classes last roughly an hour and there is normally the opportunity for refreshments and chat afterwards!

Cost varies slightly depending on location but classes are around £3 each.
