Exercises classes are held in Faversham twice a week.
They are led by fully trained and experienced instructors, catering for people with a variety of medical conditions, including:
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Parkinson’s
• Obesity
• Stress and anxiety, and
• Those who have not exercised for some time
The exercises, which last an hour (plus a few minutes’ changing time), take place at the Baptist Church Hall, St. Mary's Road, Faversham on Tuesdays at 2.15pm and Thursdays at 11.15 am, using specially purchased equipment.
The classes, invaluable to the more mature, the less fit and/or less mobile, offer:
• Improved health
• Greater mobility
• Increased independence
New participants are very welcome. You can join the classes either by referral by your GP or other health professional, or by word of mouth.
Or you can find out more by ringing Gene or John Regan on 07724054053. Alternatively, you can simply come to observe a Thursday morning class, starting at 11.15 am at the Baptist Church Hall.
All applicants are individually assessed by one of the instructors. You can attend either class, or both, depending on availability of places.
Classes cost £3.50 a session. Discounts are available if the fees are paid for a half term in advance.
Classes began in 2002. They are organised by Faversham Activity for Health, a registered charity, recognised by the Eastern & Coastal Kent NHS Primary Care Trust. The costs are met by a combination of fees paid by participants, and grants which have been made by a variety of organisations, such as Kent County Council, Faversham Town Council, Kent Community Foundation, Sport Relief and Kent Police property fund. Fees are kept as low as possible by fund raising events, such as quiz evenings and sponsoring riders in the annual charity bike ride. We also put on social events such as a garden party and a Christmas get-together. So participating is not only good for you, but also fun!
