Get Active - Low Level Activities Volunteer

Get Active - Low Intensity Classes

Your role would be supporting these sessions to run smoothly and effectively - and to help create a welcoming, friendly group environment.

You won’t be instructing participants or leading a class – our qualified instructors take care of that. Instead, volunteers support participants with encouragement and reassurance to help them gain confidence in completing the exercises demonstrated by the instructor. Volunteers also aid the instructor by feeding back relevant information to them. At each session the volunteer will:

• meet the participants at reception, welcome them to class
• support the instructor to deliver physical activity sessions
• support & motivate participants to take part in classes.

Our range of Classes:

• Active Sit: This enjoyable low-level session, combining sitting and standing exercises, is ideal if you want to increase strength and improve balance or coordination. Active Sit is ideal for people who have weak balance, move slowly, or use mobility assistance.

• Strength & Balance: This low-level circuit workout is designed to engage the entire body. If you can walk about independently and want to improve your strength and balance, this is the class for you.

• Strength & Cardio: This lightly energetic circuit class is designed to work the whole body a little bit more than the Strength and Balance class, so it is ideal for those who are looking to further build and improve their physical fitness.

• Seated Yoga: This low-level class uses a combination of seated and standing based movements that focus on stretches to increase flexibility, strength, and balance to the whole body, with a focus on helping to relieve stress and help your body to relax.

• Active Dance: Active Dance is a fun and social way to be active. This low-level dance class is a great way to work the whole body helping you to maintain or improve coordination, balance, and confidence without even realising.

• Active Cycle: A 30-minute low level, indoor cycle-based class, taking you through a series of cycle techniques which are designed to improve your cardiovascular health and improve your lower body strength and endurance.
