Silverfit

A series of instructed online workouts, brought to you by our instructors, that can be followed in the comfort of your own home with little or no equipment required!

Silverfit @Home launched in March 2020, due to the then suspension of our Silverfit exercise sessions due to COVID-19.

All content remains on our channel for Silverfitters to do in their own time.

We are providing these videos on our YouTube channel free of charge so there are no restrictions on who can enjoy them. However, should you wish to donate towards the production and staff/instructors costs involved, we have created a Just Giving page to give you the opportunity to do so.
