Kentish Town prides ourselves on our great relationship with customers and the community and none is more evident than our relationship with our Seniors. With so many fitness and social activities around the borough, including swim, gym & fitness classes you’re sure to find something you will love. All is aimed at getting you active, having fun while keeping you healthy at the same time.
Fitness Classes
Our Seniors at Kentish Town like to feel a part of our existing programme when it comes to fitness, we take pride in all our classes being as accessible as possible and our instructors are always ready with alternative exercises if required. However, this does not stop our existing Senior members from having their favourite classes which are
- Aerobics
- Aqua Aerobics
- Pilates
- Tai Chi
- Yoga
Wednesday Social Coffee Mornings
At Kentish Town Sports Centre we pride ourselves in being a part of our community and making our leisure centre as accessible as possible. This is achieved through our timetable and amazing work from our centre team.
Every Wednesday morning from 10.00am - 12pm we host a Social Coffee Morning in the viewing gallery (to the right hand side of our reception desk). There is free coffee, tea and biscuits available, no booking required and is open to everyone.
We know that staying socially active is just as important as staying physically active. At Kentish Town, we want to provide a welcoming space where you can meet new people, share stories, and enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
You can also take this opportunity to interact with our staff and ask any questions you may have.
Swimming
We offer free swimming for Camden residents aged 60+ on a pay as you go membership at Kentish Town Sports Centre, Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre, Oasis Sports Centre and Pancras Square Leisure, on weekdays between 6.30am and 12pm.
If you have limited mobility and find accessing the pool difficult, we have a Poolpod in our Grafton Pool & a hoist in both our Willes Pool & Grafton Pool. Please speak to a member of staff or visit better.org.uk/lp/pool-pod to discover more.
For more information on any of the above activities, please email KentishTown@GLL.ORG or speak to a member of staff in one of our Better Camden centres.
The Gym
Our Gym is inclusive to everyone and is divided into different sections the weights area, stretch area, resistance machines and cardio machines. Cardio machines (which raise your heart rate) such as rowers, bikes, cross trainers and treadmills can be used to improve your overall fitness.
Resistance machines and weights can be used to improve your overall strength. All of our weights and weight machines start at a very light weight, so no matter how strong you are, you’ll be safe to use them. We also have a functional space equipped with all the space and equipment to fulfil your needs
*Pre Paid members do not have to book the Gym
Gym Induction
If you are unsure of how to use equiptment or need some new insipration our fitness instructors will be on hand to put together your own personal workout programme, if you’d like them to. Workout programmes are free of charge if you’re a pre-paid member.
Refocus sessions are available to you at any time, where our fitness instructors can change your programme to suit your progress. Varying your workout and keeping it challenging will mean you’re more likely to stick to it and reach your goals.
