Exercise Classes For All Abilities
Classes are designed to help build and maintain strength, co-ordination, endurance and flexibility.
The classes have been designed to be suitable for people with different physical abilities and medical conditions including stroke, heart conditions, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and breathing difficulties to name but a few.
The Vitality class formats have been designed by Glasgow Sport and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde staff to make sure the classes are safe and effective.
There are four levels of Vitality classes:
Strength and Balance Class - this class is designed for people who can walk slowly and may have limited standing balance and requires mobility aids. This class is also suitable for people with breathing difficulties.
Strength and Balance Circuit - this class is appropriate for people who are mobile (with or without a mobility aid), but may have difficulty with movement and daily activities. It is also suitable for people with breathing difficulties.
Step In Circuit - this class is suitable for participants with independent mobility (with or without an aid) but may have some difficulty doing daily activities.
Step Up Circuit - this class is designed those who are mobile (without an aid) and who have minimal difficulty doing daily activities.
