What to expect?
Forever Active deliver exercise classes for over 50s throughout South Cambs, East Cambs and Cambridge City.
Strength & Balance classes are a mixture of seated and standing exercises that are aimed at improving confidence, balance and mobility if you’ve had a fall or are at risk of falling (more information about Falls Prevention here). Every exercise can be modified to suit all abilities.
If you can’t attend Strength & Balance classes in person, there are live online classes as well as on demand classes you can do anytime. You can take a look at the online and in person class timetable here.

Strength & Balance classes last for an hour.
If it’s your first time attending, please contact the enquiries team to confirm class details.
