If you have never attended a Silverfit session before, or your health has changed in any way in the last year, please fill in a PAR-Q - Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire - so that we are aware of any health and medical issues you may have before taking part in our sessions.

  • Tai chi is an ancient Chinese movement practice that offers a number of health benefits. For seniors in particular, it can have significant benefits as it focuses on muscle control, stability, balance, and flexibility. The movements are also very gentle.
  • Qi Gong is very similar to Tai Chi which is why we offer this session as an alternative to Tai Chi, to accommodate for the popularity of the session at this venue.

Do not turn up to a session without registering beforehand – you will be turned away if there are too many people.
