Over 60s Health & Fitness
One of the biggest age-related changes we face is sarcopenia — the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength that typically begins in our 30s and accelerates after 60. Left unaddressed, sarcopenia can lead to frailty, balance problems, and a higher risk of falls. Strength training and resistance-based exercise are the most effective ways to combat this process, helping maintain muscle, bone density, and functional movement well into later years.
It’s also important to recognise the difference between life expectancy and health expectancy. While medical advances mean many of us are living longer, the number of years we spend in good health doesn’t always keep pace. Exercise is one of the most effective tools for closing that gap, ensuring that more of your years are lived actively, independently, and with confidence.
Whether it’s improving strength, increasing flexibility, or simply feeling fitter and more capable in everyday life, a consistent exercise routine can transform how you age. Our team offer guidance in training which is adapted to your ability, goals, and lifestyle.
How We Can Help
We help those over 60s stay strong, active, and confident through safe, tailored exercise programs.
Training with us will help with the following:
Exercise plays a vital role in building muscle power and strength for adults over 60, helping to maintain independence, mobility, and overall health. As we age, natural muscle loss (sarcopenia) can lead to weakness, fatigue, and a higher risk of falls, but regular strength and resistance training can effectively counter this. By challenging the muscles through safe, progressive exercises, older adults can improve balance, coordination, and functional strength for everyday activities. Building muscle power not only enhances physical performance but also supports bone health, joint stability, and long-term quality of life.
Exercise is essential for maintaining bone density in adults over 60, helping to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises, such as walking, strength training, and bodyweight movements, stimulate bone growth and slow age-related bone loss. Maintaining strong bones is crucial for supporting mobility, balance, and independence, and it also helps prevent serious injuries from falls. Regular, targeted exercise not only preserves skeletal health but also contributes to overall strength, stability, and confidence in daily activities.
Exercise is key for improving balance and coordination in adults over 60, helping to prevent falls and maintain independence. Targeted activities such as strength training, balance exercises, and functional movement drills enhance muscle control, joint stability, and body awareness. Improved balance and coordination make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or reaching for objects safer and more manageable. By incorporating regular exercise, older adults can reduce their risk of injury, boost confidence in movement, and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
Exercise plays a vital role in maintaining joint mobility and flexibility in adults over 60, helping to preserve range of motion and reduce stiffness. Gentle stretching, strength training, and mobility-focused exercises keep the muscles and connective tissues around the joints strong and supple, supporting smooth, pain-free movement. Maintaining flexibility is important for performing everyday activities like reaching, bending, and walking safely and comfortably. Regular exercise also helps prevent injuries, improves posture, and enhances overall quality of life, allowing older adults to stay active and independent for longer.
Exercise is essential for supporting cardiovascular health in adults over 60, helping to strengthen the heart, improve circulation, and maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Activities such as walking, cycling, swimming, or low-impact aerobic exercises increase heart and lung efficiency, boost energy, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Maintaining cardiovascular fitness is important for overall health, independence, and the ability to perform daily activities with ease. Regular exercise also supports weight management, mental well-being, and long-term vitality, contributing to a healthier, more active lifestyle.
Exercise plays a crucial role in supporting cognitive function and mental well-being in adults over 60. Regular physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, stimulating neural connections and helping to maintain memory, focus, and overall mental sharpness. Studies show that consistent exercise can lower the risk of dementia and age-related cognitive decline, while also reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Staying active boosts mood, energy, and confidence, supporting independence and a higher quality of life. By combining physical and mental benefits, exercise helps older adults stay both physically and mentally resilient as they age.

"Jack has been an absolute life saver! I had been struggling with an injury for almost a year that was preventing me from working as a professional dancer. I had tried different types of therapy with little to no lasting results. Since having sessions with Jack my injury has improved greatly, with almost no pain, and I am getting back into dance! I feel much stronger. I will absolutely be visiting Jack again in the future, even if just for a check-up down the road. 10/10 experience!”

"Jack is a phenomenal physio who has helped me overcome chronic nerve issues (bilateral ulnar nerve) which doctors and physios have not been able to help with. Not only am I in less pain, but being able to lift weights; something I had not been able to do consistently or without pain for years. Most importantly, Jack cares for clients and operates with the highest form of integrity - i.e does not try to get you to see him a max amount of times for profit and is genuinely concerned. Couldn't recommend more highly."
Kash Whiteley
"I love training hard, with quite a gruelling routine involving both weights and martial arts. Injuries to my lower back and knee prevented me training the way I wanted to. Jack did a thorough assessment, worked out what was wrong then developed a rehab program. I am now able to train to the level I want to with confidence."
"Definitely recommend! Nick has been fantastic guiding me through my shoulder and hip rehab, as an apprentice physiotherapist myself, and having worked with a lot of physios, I can say that Nick is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. Thank you!"
