Health, Strength and Stability

We’re also offering a group exercise class called ‘Health, Strength and Stability.’ It’s all about boosting your fitness, strength and balance. Plus, it’s a great place to make friends. Our super-specialist instructor will guide you through exercises that you can do seated or standing, using resistance bands and weights. Just show up in comfy clothes and shoes, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Your first 6 sessions are on us! After that, it’s only £3 per session. Want to know more? Send us an email at community.health@bpl.org.uk or give us a call at 01226 738657.
