“The classes are very enjoyable, a good social thing and the exercises are all do-able. Good fun!”
“I just live on my own since my wife died 2.5 years ago and this is the only time I get out of the house really; you are supposed to feel depressed but I don’t feel depressed…..(Sarah: because you have the group to go to?) Yes. It’s fun! We get exercise but without really knowing it. If I wasn’t here I’d be counting the spots on my wallpaper.”
“This group is brilliant. It brings you the social side because you are getting out there and you are meeting lots of people, conversing with them, and a bit of humour – we like a laugh. It’s a big part of my life.”
“I’ve really noticed not being here for 2 weeks. I have missed the group and physically I can really feel a difference!”
” I like it here better than going to the gym! You are on your own at the gym and you have to do you your own personal stuff where here, everybody shares it.’
“ I really enjoy these classes and I feel more independent when I have something to go to and less lonely”
‘I just wish there were more classes like these in the community……especially in rural areas.’
