Age Strong: strength and balance for over-60s in Cirencester

WHY STRENGTH MATTERS
It’s never too late to get stronger.
We naturally lose muscle and balance as we get older, and that’s often what makes stairs harder, walks shorter and falls more likely. The good news is that the right kind of strength and balance training works at any age.
Strength and balance exercise is one of the best-evidenced ways to reduce falls and stay independent. Age Strong gives you that, in a safe, private setting, with a clinician who tailors every session to you.
TWO WAYS TO TRAIN
Just you, or bring a friend.
Every session is private, in our ground-floor studio. Train one-to-one, or share your sessions with a partner or friend.
Just you
One-to-one with a clinician
| First session | £55 |
| Follow-up sessions | £55 |
| Six sessions | £315 |
Your first session includes a baseline check of your strength, balance and walking, so we can track your progress.
Bring a friend
Two people, one clinician
| First session | £75 |
| Follow-up sessions | £75 |
| Six sessions | £440 |
Prices are for both of you together. Training with someone you know makes it more fun, and easier to keep going.

“I joined the Age Strong sessions as at 75 years of age I wanted to continue doing Parkruns after a gap of many years following serious illness. Rob Beaven devised a series of exercises for me over a 6 week period to prepare accordingly. This was supported by exercise routines at home and a walk/run programme.
To date it is going very well and I am on target to do a Parkrun by the end of December”
– COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you book.
Everything people usually ask before their first Age Strong session. Can’t see your question? Book a free 10-minute triage call and we’ll answer it directly.
Is Age Strong a class?
No. Every session is private: just you and a clinician, or you and a friend or partner with a clinician. There are no group classes.
I have a health condition. Is it safe for me?
In most cases, yes. Our clinicians tailor every session to you, including any health conditions. If you’d like to talk it through first, call us on 01285 671442 for a free chat.
Do I need to be fit, or have used a gym before?
Not at all. We start where you are, and build up gradually.
Do I need to be a patient of the clinic?
No. Age Strong is open to everyone over 60.
What should I bring and wear?
Comfortable clothes, supportive shoes and a water bottle. That’s it.
Can I bring my walking aid, or a carer?
Yes to both. Walking aids are welcome, and carers or family members are welcome to come along.
Can I train with a friend or partner?
Yes. Book a two-to-one session and you’ll share the session and the cost.
Where is it, and is there parking?
Age Strong runs in our ground-floor Dyer St Studio, with step-free access and drop-off outside. We can reserve a parking space on request.
