Staying active and independent in later life

Everyday movement can start to feel harder with age. Stairs take more effort, balance feels less certain, stiffness shows up in small tasks. Senior personal training is one-to-one, gentle and joint-friendly, focused on real life so you can keep doing what you love.

We pace sessions to your health, medications and energy, especially after illness or surgery, and we weave in balance work so you feel steady and safe.

Common worries we can help with:

  • Feeling steadier after a fall or wobble
  • Loosening up morning stiffness or after sitting
  • Getting up from charis or the floor without a battle
  • Feeling more confident with walking and taking bigger steps
  • Walking to the shops, carrying shopping, or climbing stairs with more ease

Your personal senior training plan

If stairs feel taller or you’re rebuilding confidence after a wobble or surgery, we meet you where you are. Sessions are one-to-one, unhurried and paced to your health, medications and energy that day. We keep things simple and clear.

We focus on real life. That means building everyday strength to get up from a chair and take the stairs, easing stiffness so dressing and reaching feel easier, improving balance for steadier steps, and adding gentle cardio so walks feel comfortable rather than draining.

“Before I started with Josh I felt unwell and like I didn’t want to exercise but since my daughter encouraged me to start I have been doing sessions twice a week for the last 6 months and I feel like a different person. My confidence, mobility and strength has improved and I’m running for the first time in years. Would highly recommend.”

What progress can look like

Alan, 75, came to us wanting to stay active and keep up with his grandchildren more. He was struggling with low energy and stiffness that made even light activity feel tiring.

At 82, Stella was beginning to feel limited by reduced strength and mobility. Everyday activities such as getting out of her armchair, climbing stairs, and carrying shopping were becoming more difficult.

Through our tailored senior personal training sessions, where we focused on strength, balance, and mobility, Stella has gradually built her confidence in everyday activities and out and about.

Stella, 82

Dave, aged 69, was referred to Longevity Health and Fitness by his daughter, who had noticed increasing stiffness, reduced mobility, and a loss of strength despite him remaining very active day to day.

Dave has lived with ankylosing spondylitis since his 30s and, although fiercely independent and working six days a week, had begun to experience reduced balance, more frequent trips, and visible muscle loss in his legs.
