SENIOR ACTIVITIES AT HATFIELD SWIM CENTRE
Our Seniors (over 66) activities are not only designed to keep you fit and active, they also provide a great opportunity to socialise and meet new friends. The activities are aimed at getting you out of the house and to make sure you are having fun and keeping healthy at the same time. You’ll receive great support from our professional and friendly staff who will help you achieve your best.
Regardless of your age, joining a gym can be an intimidating experience. Whether you’re unfamiliar with the equipment, you’re struggling with your body confidence or this is your first time signing up – there are plenty of reasons why you may have your reservations.
At Better, our mission is to make fitness accessible to everyone, meaning that removing anxiety around exercising is one of our top priorities. That’s why we’ve introduced the following to make our gyms safe spaces to exercise with peace of mind:
ACTIVITIES
Swimming
Swimming is a great way to improve your fitness and overall well-being without putting too much strain on your body.

Maintaining physical health and staying active is crucial as we grow older. Our senior members have access to a friendly and well-equipped gym that we are proud to offer. Our qualified staff provides support to seniors, and we offer various gym inductions to ensure that they feel confident and safe while working towards their fitness goals. Regular exercise has been proven to have significant benefits for seniors, including improved balance, increased mobility, and a lower risk of chronic illness.

These classes are perfect for beginner seniors, providing a safe and supportive environment to start or continue your fitness journey.
