Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre Over 50's Seniors Programme Launch!
On Monday 27th February 2023, Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre launched the over 50’s Seniors Programme! At Better Barnet, we really enjoy helping others achieve their goals by keeping them motivated and inspired to get active. Our senior programme gives residents aged over 50 the opportunity to take part in numerous sessions and activities during the week, which are designed to keep residents fit and healthy. These sessions will also provide residents with a great opportunity to socialise and meet new friends with warm drinks available!
Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre offer a wide range of facilities, including gyms which provide a range of equipment and supervised sessions to help to improve your health and well-being. There’s also a range of fitness classes to choose from, including total body conditioning, aerobics and much more. Please remember that to be able to use the gym you must be a member and complete an induction session. You will also have the opportunity to access a range of activities and sports including badminton, table tennis, bowls, short tennis and more!
The over 50's Senior Programme also includes off-peak access to swimming, the gym, fitness classes and entry into the Club Lounge which houses seating, a television, kitchenette and refreshments. There are books, games and magazines to keep you occupied too, where you can also help yourself to free tea’s and coffees and meet new friends. All of these activities are aimed at getting you out of the house, having fun and keeping healthy at the same time. You will receive great support from our professional and friendly staff that will help you achieve your potential.
Our Seniors in Barnet will also be invited to take part in our annual inter-borough competition, which is held in autumn every year. Seniors in Barnet will compete against other boroughs in London in a range of activities including badminton, darts, swimming... plus loads more! If you are interested in representing the Barnet team, please email Barnet’s Community Sports Manager Petrit Krasniqi (petrit.krasniqi@gll.org) and let us know what sport you are interested in doing.
By taking part in the Seniors Programme, you will also be notified of further senior activities which take place in the community in partnership with Fit and Active Barnet (FAB). These activities take place within local community venues such as church halls and community centres which are easily accessible and affordable. Activities include chair based classes, dance classes and much more and are aimed to providing opportunities to our seniors in the borough who may find it difficult to reach our centre.
