What is “Get Strong”?

Supporting Long-Term Health and Independence

“Get Strong” is all about building strength to support your long-term health and independence. It’s a bespoke strength training and rehabilitation package designed by our specialists and tailored to you.

Increasing strength is one of the most effective ways to stay fit and healthy as we age. From around the age of 30-40, we naturally start to lose muscle mass unless we actively work to maintain it. Staying strong supports mobility, protects joints, reduces the risk of falls, and helps you keep doing the things you enjoy for longer.

Whether you have you noticed a decline in your strength and mobility, or if you are looking to build strength early to reduce the risk of injuries later in life, we can help.

How it works

We all know the value of living a healthy active lifestyle, but getting started can be easier said than done! “Get Strong” is designed with realistic and achievable goals so that you can improve your health with consistency, expert support and enjoyment.

Complete your programme independently or, in our State-of-the-art Integrated Rehabilitation Centre via our Open Gym sessions*

What is Sarcopenia?

Understanding Muscle Loss in Aging Adults

As we age, we experience a natural decline in muscle mass and strength. This decline is known as sarcopenia and gradually starts in our 30s or 40s.

Sarcopenia can impact independence, mobility, and overall well-being, but through targeted interventions, it is possible to slow down its progression and even reverse some of the effects.

There are several steps you can take to slow the effects of sarcopenia, one of the most effective is increasing your overall strength.

What is Strength Training?

Strength training doesn’t have to mean lots of heavy lifting in the gym! Studies show that introducing simple exercises to your routine can make a significant impact to your confidence, your daily activities and your overall well being.
