Senior Activities

Our activities for seniors (over 66) are designed not only to keep you fit and active but also to provide a fantastic opportunity to socialise and make new friends. These activities are aimed at encouraging you to get out of the house, have fun, and stay healthy. You'll receive excellent support from our professional and friendly staff, who will help you achieve your best.

Joining a gym can be intimidating at any age. Whether you’re unfamiliar with the equipment, struggling with body confidence, or signing up for the first time, it’s natural to have reservations.

At Better, our mission is to make fitness accessible to everyone. Reducing anxiety around exercising is one of our top priorities. Check out the full range of activities available at Western Leisure Centre

Walking Football

Walking football is ideal for anyone who enjoys the beautiful game but wants to go at a slower pace. If you’re wondering what walking football is, it combines most elements of traditional football but with walking instead of running. This makes it suited to most people, especially those over 50 years old. Whether your goal is to keep fit, meet new friends or simply play for the love of it, walking football gives you the perfect opportunity to take to the pitch.

Whether you’ve played before or are new to the sport, walking football will add a new lease of life to your week.

Walking Football at Western Leisure Centre is Friday 10.30-11.30am
