Strength & Balance

Let us help you stay on your feet.

Our Strength & Balance classes are designed for individuals who may be facing challenges with strength and mobility, feeling unsteady, or experiencing falls at home. You don't need to worry about getting up and down from the floor as exercises are seated or standing and can be adapted to your needs.

  • “I think I took for granted a simple thing such as balance all my life. I never really thought about it, but with a gradually aging body it is imperative we maintain good balance and strength. Jess’s classes have done just that with a noticeable difference in my ability to maintain day to day activities with ease.”

  • “I have been to Senior Strength & Balance L1 & now on L2 with Jess Hannah and have found them to be very beneficial to me. I have found the courses helpful to strengthen my balance, and my stiffing joints. The more I practice after the lessons the more profitable it is to me. The cost is very reasonable. I recommend Senior Strength & Balance with Jess to everyone who is starting to feel their age.”

  • “The activities of the programme are at a level that ensures participants achieve a good measure of success. Jess connects with her mature pupils in a warm and friendly manner. She does not draw attention to individual's inabilities or mistakes in performing the exercises. She is very safety conscious and ensures all possible risks are avoided. Jess spans the generation gap with ease and as a result her classes are always cheerful, positive occasions.”
