Whether you’re looking to improve your wellbeing, try something new, or simply spend time with others, you’ll find welcoming spaces and supportive communities ready to help you get involved.
Memberships
If you’re aged 60 years and over and are looking to get more active, a Senior membership allows you to access a range of gyms, swimming pools and leisure facilities in Camden, along with Live Better - digital health and wellbeing tools on your phone.
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. Swimming is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways for older adults to stay active. As a low-impact activity, it places minimal stress on the joints while providing a full-body workout that can help improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and balance.
Fitness Classes
Older adults are encouraged to take part in the same varied fitness programme enjoyed by the wider community. We aim to make our classes accessible and inclusive as possible, with instructors able to provide adaptations and alternative exercises where needed. Classes for our older community are low impact and designed to help improve strength, balance, mobility and overall wellbeing, making it easier to stay active, confident, and independent.
Gym Workouts
Our gyms are inclusive to everyone and is divided into different workout zones: Strength, Stretch, Resistance, Functional and Cardio. Our friendly health and fitness team are also on hand to support with personalised programmes and advice to support your goals.
