I attend Strength for Life at Fit 4 Everyday Hallett Cove and have done so for 4 years twice a week.

Marinus and more recently Deb are the trainers I find them both very helpful and knowledgeable. We are given a set routine to suit our individual needs and, whilst the exercises are designed for each individual based on their abilities and needs, it makes me feel supported and valued. The whole group do warmups together, then our exercises and end the session with stretches. The social aspect is just as important as the exercise, the group are always very friendly and we all have a good interaction with one another. We chat between our exercises, which is equally as important as concentrating on our routine. For those who can make it we go for coffee at the local grinders and have a good chat and a lot of laughter. We try to set the world to right, ha ha.

We certainly benefit from socialising with others and help by giving one another support and listen to each other’s problems. “A problem shared is a problem halved”. We generally agree that the social aspect of Strength for Life is as important as the benefits we get from improving our strength, fitness and balance, which is something that most of us did not realise had deteriorated until we improved on it with the wonderful Strength for Life program. A great program which I would thoroughly recommend to all.
