Our 8 week courses take place on Monday evenings and will be supervised by fully trained and qualified coaches. The sessions will be aimed at providing you with a basic insight into each sport or activity and we will assist you in taking up any of the activities in the longer term if you so wish. There will obviously be a level of exertion required, however the extent of that is up to you. The activities may include some of the following:

• Football (for men)
• Boxercise
• Circuit Training (for men)
• Pilates
• Karate
• Badminton
• Netball (for women)
• Yoga
• Aerobics (for women)

The programme is part funded by “Awards for All”. However there is a small charge for all of our activities to cover teaching costs and hall hires. Fees are kept to a minimum in order to encourage your participation. Apart from that, all you need to provide is some trainers and a willingness to participate.

Our regular weekly sessions are as follows:
Badminton: Monday nights from 8.00-9.00 pm at Spelthorne Leisure Centre, Knowle Green, Staines, Middlesex, TW18 1AJ. Just turn up on court, register and pay your £3. This session is open to both men and women over 50 years of age.

Football: Wednesday nights from 6.15-7.30 pm at Thamesmead School Sports Centre, Manygate Lane , Shepperton , TW17 9EE . Pay £3.50 at reception. This session is for men between the ages of 50 and 65.

For both the above sessions there is no coaching so a modicum of ability and fitness is required. You are responsible for your own warm up. Both sessions are aimed at being fun, competitive but not overly competitive. You will be encouraged to rotate partners and teams.

Tai Chi: This session also takes place at Thamesmead School Sports Centre on a Thursday night at 8.00- 9.15 pm.


Yoga: We run regular 6 week courses at Thamesmead school sports centre so please contact us to find the start date of the next course. These sessions are run by Becky Lennox who is a regular teacher on the Fit from 50 programme.

You will need to complete a Health questionnaire prior to your participation and pre register with us. To do so please email us via the contact form on this website.
