The Lab. SilverStrength
Who is it for?
SilverStrength classes are designed specifically for adults aged 55 and over who currently do little or no regular exercise and want to get stronger, steadier, and more connected.
No prior gym experience is needed, we welcome all fitness levels, especially beginners or those returning after a long break. If you’re feeling a bit isolated and would love to meet like-minded people while gently building your confidence and physical ability, this is the perfect place to start.
These sessions are ideal if you want to make everyday movements easier, like getting up from a chair, carrying shopping, climbing stairs, or simply feeling more stable on your feet.
What is SilverStrength?
SilverStrength is a safe, supportive, and enjoyable strength-training class focused on building the physical abilities that matter most as we age. Each 45 minute session combines gentle strength exercises, balance work, and mobility drills to help you move better, feel stronger, and reduce the risk of falls.
Key benefits and focus areas:
- Improved balance and stability – exercises to help you feel confident on your feet
