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

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.

The new ‘Kettlebell Ignite’ class will burn your muscles and torch your fat.
This all over body workout is an amazing way to get fit, burn fat and build muscle.
It will Ignite your Strength Ignite your Power Ignite your Fitness and fuel your fire.
This is a unique and exciting class that will be added to our already existing classes of strength and fitness.
Our studio has a soft floor, for those all important ab workouts. Our facility provides the Kettlebells for you, or you can bring your own.
Why Kettlebell Workouts? Kettlebells engage muscles across your entire body, including your core, legs, shoulders, and arms. This comprehensive approach means you can achieve a highly effective workout in a shorter amount of time.
The dynamic nature of kettlebell exercises like swings and snatches boosts both your muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance. The continuous, intense movements elevate your heart rate, contributing to improved stamina and overall fitness. Studies have shown that kettlebell training can significantly enhance explosive strength and strength endurance
Many kettlebell exercises require a full range of motion, which can improve joint flexibility and mobility over time. This can lead to better overall movement quality and potentially reduce the risk of injury.
Kettlebell workouts combine strength and cardiovascular training, creating a powerful calorie-burning effect. The high intensity can also lead to a boosted metabolism and weight loss. A 2010 study found that kettlebell snatch workouts burned around 20 calories per minute, comparable to running at a 6-minute mile pace
Many kettlebell movements actively engage your core muscles, such as Turkish get-ups and kettlebell windmills, which contribute to building a strong and stable midsection.
Kettlebell training focuses on functional movement patterns that mimic real-life activities, helping you build strength and power that can translate to improved performance in sports and daily tasks. This makes them particularly valuable for athletes and those seeking to improve overall physical performance.
Starting October 2025. Winter is when we build muscle and reduce fat ready for the summer months .
Hi, i’m Anneka and I spend most of my time balancing life as a mama to two wonderful, energetic boys. Any free moments I can grab are usually spent in the gym, out running or plunging myself into the cold sea.
My business is inspired by my own fitness journey. I struggled with Spondylolistesis. Stretching and building core strength become necessary to alleviate my back and it made me feel amazing. In true Anneka Style I quit my job and committed to becoming a Personal Trainer to help other beginners discover the joy and benefits.
I am also a certified Pilates instructor. I am a certified run leader. I run regular Couch to 5k courses. I am a children’s fitness coach. It is important for children to normalise exercise from an early age.
Anneka’s Pilates Classes are held at Velocity Fitness gym on a Tuesday. She runs block 6 week sessions and these sell out very fast, so get booking. Send us a message and we will put you in touch or find Anneka on Facebook – Anneka Wilson Fitness
We have 2 in house Personal Trainers at Velocity. Both with vast knowledge and experience in all types of fitness and strength. Whatever your goals we will be able to help you get there.
We have a private gym. We are not a commercial gym and open to members of the public. It will just be you and your trainer.
Personal Training is not the elite and famous. It is an investment in you. Our cost is £25 per session. A session lasts an hour.
You may consider if an hour a week is enough. You will learn enough in that hour to take away with you. We don’t keep our training and health tips to ourselves. It is not a secret. We want you to learn as much as you can so that you have all the information that you need to make small achievable changes to your life.
All you have to do is come along to one. We are challenging you to book 1 PT session this month. Invest the £25 and see where it takes you. You have nothing to lose. You will gain so much information.
Our 5 top home workout exercises. Put them together for a circuit training style workout.
Squat. Just using your body weight, squat down as far as is comfortable and raise back up. Do this for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
Press ups. You can use your knees, but make sure your weight is going through your shoulders. Do as many as you can in 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
Lunges. Front lunges each leg alternatively. Practice by not going too low and gaining your balance first. Progress to knee to floor lunges as you get stronger.
Jumping Jacks. If you can’t jump them put one leg out to the side and alternate. Work for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
Sit ups. Place a pillow under your lower back to protect your spine. Work for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
This workout is designed to keep you moving with minimal rest. We recommend that you complete one round for beginners and work up to adding more rounds. Make a note of how many you do of each exercise and try and beat it every time you complete the workout.
