Senior Activities

At The Sovereign Centre, in Eastbourne, we believe that fitness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience.

Our goal is to make fitness enjoyable and stress-free, so we've created a supportive and welcoming environment where you can exercise with confidence. To help you get started, we offer a range of services and features designed to ensure you feel comfortable and safe as you work towards your fitness goals.
