Blood Sugar Balance
These supportive sessions use evidence-based exercise to help regulate blood sugar, boost energy, and improve metabolic health. Ideal for anyone living with diabetes or prediabetes, this class also benefits anyone wanting to build better long-term wellness through mindful movement.
What makes this programme truly special is that it’s led by an instructor who lives with Type 1 diabetes-bringing a lifetime of personal experience and understanding to every session. You’ll be guided by someone who genuinely understands the challenges and rewards of managing blood sugar and staying active.

GentleFit
A calm, low-impact class designed to help you move freely and comfortably.
Gentle Fit improves flexibility, balance, and posture while easing stiffness and tension. It’s perfect if you’re new to exercise, returning after a break, or simply want a softer approach that still leaves you feeling energised and positive.
It’s also a lovely opportunity to socialise and meet others in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Many of our members say GentleFit feels as much like a friendly get-together as it does a fitness session-a chance to move, chat, and have fun while improving your wellbeing.
