Easy Does It is a friendly, enjoyable and accessible exercise session designed especially for older adults and those who may be less mobile. This gentle class focuses on improving strength, flexibility and stamina through simple, low‑impact movements that support everyday function and confidence. Set within a warm and welcoming environment in the heart of the West Wight community, Easy Does It encourages people to stay active, meet others and enjoy moving at a comfortable pace. And of course, there’s usually time for tea, biscuits and a chat — making it as much a social occasion as a fitness session.
