Over 50’s Indoor Cycling

06/10/202506/10/2025 Velocity

Our dedicated over 50’s Indoor Cycling group meet on Fridays at 9.30 for their 45 minute cycle class.

Indoor cycling offers a range of health benefits specifically beneficial for individuals over 50. It is considered a safe and effective way to promote overall wellness and maintain an active lifestyle.

Here are some key benefits:

Joint-Friendly Fitness: Indoor cycling is a low-impact exercise, which means it puts less stress on joints compared to high-impact activities like running. This makes it a suitable option for individuals experiencing joint pain, arthritis, or recovering from injuries.
Cardiovascular Health: Regular indoor cycling helps strengthen the heart, improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also help manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Muscle Strengthening and Endurance: Cycling engages major muscle groups in the lower body, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. This helps build and maintain muscle mass, which is crucial for preserving mobility, balance, and reducing the risk of falls as we age.
Improved Mental Well-being: Exercise, including indoor cycling, has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. The rhythmic nature of pedalling can have a meditative effect, and social interaction in group classes can further boost mood and motivation.
Weight Management: Indoor cycling is an efficient way to burn calories and body fat, supporting weight management, which is a key factor in cardiovascular health

We have friendly group on a Friday and we have space for you to join us. There is limited spaces so go to our Book a Class page and put your name down. Pay as you go on a

Group Personal Training

29/09/2025 Velocity

We are now offering Group Personal Training due to the high demand of Personal Training that we receive.

Please read on and if this is not of interest to you, it might be to someone you know.

We have an extremely high success rate of people who have gained strength and mobility from our 121 sessions and now we can help more people at a fraction of the cost.

Group Personal Training combines the personalisation of one-on-one training with the motivational benefits of a group setting, offering tailored workouts and individualised coaching for a small group of clients with similar goals. There is a maximum of 4 people per session.

A certified personal trainer develops personalised fitness programs for each client, providing specific guidance, ensuring proper form, and adjusting exercises to meet different ability levels within the group. This format is more interactive and affordable than individual training, yet provides more personalised attention and support than traditional group classes.

What to Expect in a Group Personal Training Session

Personalised Coaching: Even though you’re in a group, the trainer provides individualised feedback, corrections, and encouragement, similar to a one-on-one session.

Tailored Programs: The trainer designs a unique workout plan for each person, ensuring exercises are suitable for their specific fitness level, goals, and abilities. Over 50’s maybe experiencing joint issues and mobility issues. Our programs have low impact options and builds confidence gradually.

Individualised Exercise Adjustments: You won’t necessarily be doing the exact same exercise as everyone else. The trainer will adapt movements or provide different equipment to match your personal needs and progress.

Focus on Form and Progression: The trainer monitors your technique to prevent injury, ensures you’re using the correct weights, and helps you progress safely and effectively.

Group Dynamics and Motivation: Working out with others can provide motivation, accountability, and a sense of community, creating a more engaging fitness experience.

How it Differs from Other Fitness Formats Vs. Individual Personal Training: Group Personal Training provides a shared, more affordable experience, while individual Personal Training offers undivided attention and a completely bespoke program.

Group Classes: In group classes (like Zumba or Pilates), the focus is often on a pre-set routine for everyone. In Group Personal Training, while the exercises might be similar, the trainer provides significant adjustments and personalized coaching to each individual.

Benefits of Group Personal Training

Cost-Effective: You receive personalized attention at a lower cost than traditional one-on-one training.

Increased Motivation: The group environment and friendly encouragement can help keep you committed and inspired.

Social Connection: You can build relationships with like-minded people on a similar fitness journey.
