Your best foot forward towards wellbeing

Active Lives is a preventative low impact programme of physical activity and falls prevention that is delivered in various locations across the city - all sessions include time when our project workers can provide advice, information and signposting across a wide range of issues.

The Active Lives activities include over 40 exercise and movement classes. We deliver inclusive classes for both seated and standing participation. This includes: 14 Seated movement groups, 9 Standing movement group, 11 Tai Chi sessions, 2 Pilates Groups, a Cardio Recovery Class, 8 Strength and Balance Classes and 1 Chair Yoga group. 800 of our service users take part in at least 1 hour of exercise a week.

The prevention of falls is a key priority and all our Active Lives groups have Posture and Stability training included as a core element. This is a significant game changer in addressing falls prevention and recovery across Plymouth.

The mix of social engagement, advice and light exercise contributes significantly to improving the self-esteem of our beneficiaries.  The groups also promote their continued independent living, as well as supporting them to live healthier and active lives.
