Looking into this for your mum?
Here’s what the classes are, why they suit women over 50, and how to bring it up without making her feel old.
The signs are easy to miss.
Strength fades quietly from midlife, by around 15% a decade, with no warning signs (Hughes et al., 2001). These are the small things families usually notice first.
The stairs take a bit longer
A hand on the rail every time, or a pause halfway up.
Getting up takes a push
Rocking forward, or pushing off the arms, to get out of a chair.
Holding on to things
A hand on the counter or the back of the sofa while moving around.
Saying no to things
Skipping the walk, the trip or the night out because of how she feels on her feet.
The good news: older adults who exercise regularly, especially with exercise that challenges their balance, have about a quarter fewer falls.

Why it suits her
Built for women her age.
Led by a Chartered Physiotherapist
Hannah reads every new member’s health form before their first class, and shows an easier and a harder option for every exercise.
From her own front room
Live on Zoom, three mornings a week. No driving, no gym, no getting changed in a hall.
Women her own age
A friendly group, all in the same boat, with nobody half her age around.
Real strength work, made safe
Not gentle stretching. Proper strength and balance training, the kind the research supports.
More on how the classes work and Hannah’s background.
How to bring it up gently.
Nobody wants to be told they’re slowing down. These three things tend to go better.
Step 1
Talk about what she wants to do
Keeping up with the grandkids, the walk on the pier, the holiday next summer. Not falls, and not “at your age”.
Step 2
Send her Hannah’s hello
The two-minute video on our About page does more than any brochure. She’ll see who she’d be training with.
