This new one hour all round fitness class is one of two that will be exclusively for men and women members of Shepway u3a and will run weekly from September 2025. Such was the popularity that the Group very quickly filled up upon launch in late August 2025, but members can still apply to join and will be added to the waiting list in the usual way.

It will be led by a professional fitness instructor, who has given an outline of what is proposed for each session:

• a warm-up
• cardio (raising heart rate) work
• upper and lower body strength work
• co-ordination work
• balance work
• core exercises (either on the floor or chair)
• cool-down and stretch

Participants will be using their body weight, as well as light hand weights and resistance bands (supplied by the Class Teacher) but they will need to bring their own exercise mats.

This Group is participating in the pilot trial whereby members can apply to join online - see details on the Online Application page.
