It offers weekly one-hour sessions led by experienced exercise specialists.

"We’re proud to offer a supportive space where everyone can work at their own pace and build confidence." The sessions are held in small groups to ensure a comfortable, no-pressure atmosphere, and all exercises are adapted to suit individual needs and abilities.
