Founded in 1976 EXTEND was one of the first organisations to deliver exercise  training for those who work with the older person. Delivering an exercise for the over 60's is not as simple as slowing down a mainstream exercise class, the teacher has to accommodate arthritic joints, bad knees and hips as well as heart conditions, stroke, as well as conditions such as MS and Parkinson's.  

​Tracy qualified with EXTEND Exercise in 1999.  She has 2 community classes and has taught in residential homes and wardened accommodation.
​
Exercise for the older person need not be slow or prescriptive and Tracy's class is best described as a keep fit class for those who 'do not want to jump up and down' or can not longer get down on the floor; in fact the class is far from 'slow'.

The term 'gentle exercise' can be misleading, the class will challenge your co-ordination and balance.  Working to a variety of music and tempos Tracy's EXTEND classes are suitable for those who are more active but looking for an exercise class that will accommodate their aches and pains.

If mobility is something you are worrying about then Tracy qualified with Para Dance UK in December 2019. Her Monday class is mobility aid friendly and both Monday and Tuesday classes address falls awareness and balance. 

​Getting out of the house and making new friends is just as important as the exercise and Tracy's class is the place to go for both! 
For a class that:

• Will mobilise the main joints, within your own range of movement.
• Works to music that will encourage a safe cardiac workout.
• 'Ticks the boxes' for balance and co-ordination. 
• Will include some of the exercises found on most physiotherapists exercise sheets.
• Feels more like a traditional keep fit class than a class for the older person.
• Is safe post or pre-operation.
• Will help with rehab as well as maintain fitness.

                   
                       .......is fun, enjoyable and social!
