Other Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to start resistance training in my 50s, 60s or 70s?

Yes — and it’s one of the best things you can do for your health. The British Medical Journal Group indicates that doing 90 to 120 minutes of strength training each week is optimal for lowering all-cause mortality risk and reducing cardiovascular and neurological disease risks.

The Royal Society Osteoporosis promotes resistance exercise combined with balance to strengthen bones and prevent falls and fractures.

Resistance exercise will boost your strength, bone health and keep you moving. Because MOVE IT is led by physiotherapists, every exercise is tailored to your ability and medical conditions, ensuring you train safely and confidently.

Is the class safe for people with health conditions or injuries?

Yes. Because MOVE IT is run by qualified physiotherapists, we can modify exercises for a wide range of conditions — including arthritis, joint pain, balance issues, or previous injuries. We’ll check in with you before you start to make sure everything is appropriate.

Does MOVE IT help with balance?

Absolutely. Balance training is a core part of every MOVE IT session. Balance exercises are adjusted to your level to ensure you are safe and the exercise is appropriate. We regularly see our clients improve their balance and confidence – it makes us smile!

What do I wear?

Comfortable clothing you can move easily in, supportive footwear, and a bottle of water. All equipment needed for the class is provided.

I have osteoporosis - can I do MOVE IT?

Yes. MOVE IT is ideal for people with osteoporosis. The Royal Society of Osteoporosis strongly recommend resistance exercise combined with impact exercise to boost your bone health. The resistance and balance exercises in MOVE IT will be very helpful for anyone with osteoporosis. Our physiotherapists will guide you through safe, appropriate exercises and avoid movements that may not be suitable for your spine or joints.

Yes, you can come and try your first class on a ‘Pay as you Go’ basis. If you enjoy it and want to continue then you can sign up to the remainder of the block (to get the discounted price!)

A Class & A Cuppa!

Our classes are friendly and welcoming. After a block of classes we like to have a wee social and meet together over a cuppa. A huge benefit of exercising in a group is that you get to meet others, make new friends and collectively heckle your Physio!
