What’s on at the Youth Club for Older People?

by Leave a Comment

PenActive, our youth club for older people, has been lots of fun so far and we have a further three sessions before we break up for summer holidays!

Our next session is on Tuesday 2nd July from 1:30-3:30pm. You can enjoy a taster session of SOSA Dance fitness with Sheila Frampton! SOSA is a fun dance based fitness class and Sheila can help you to enjoy dance whatever your level of ability!

As always, there will be time to relax and socialise too and gym inductions will be available to PenActive attendees with our fab volunteer gym instructor Alison who supports this session.

In the next few weeks we have tasters of Chair Aerobics, and Tai Chi, then PenActive will break up for the summer holidays.

PenActive is totally FREE and aimed at helping people over 55 to stay fit and healthy and to socialise. It is run thanks to funding from Penistone Ward Alliance and Barnsley Council.

We’re committed to providing activities for everyone here at Penistone Leisure Centre.

There are lots of reasons you might need to take it steady. If you need a gentler form of excercise, we have a few options here for you!

Come along to PenActive– it’s our youth club for older people! A great way to socialise and keep fit with different taster sessions of gentle activities every week! Activities such as table tennis, boccia, chair aerobics, dancing, yoga etc. This class is FREE thanks to funding from Penistone Ward Alliance (Penistone Area Team) and is every Tuesday 1:30-3:30pm

Or why not try Walking Netball? Run by Hannah Burton in association with Netball England, this new session is a gentler version of the sport. It’s on Fridays at 1-3pm and costs £4 which includes refreshments too.

Or if you love to dance, why not try SOSA dance fitness on Mondays at 10:30am. SOSA is one of those activities that you can go at your own level, working on learning the steps and then doing the routines! Class costs £4 drop in and there’s no need to book, though there are discounts for block bookings.

Or come down when our friendly, qualified gym instructors are in session, and they’ll help you to put together a training plan that suits you and your fitness level.

New Class SOSA Starts Tonight!

Who’s coming to our new class- SOSA! The first class is this evening from 6-6:45 in the small room! There is also a daytime class starting on Mondays mornings from 10:30-11:15am.

SOSA is a dance based fitness class!
SOSA is open to everyone – all shapes, sizes and abilities – and all ages.  It’s about having fun and getting fit without realising it.  The routines are high-energy but low-impact and we make sure no one is left struggling at the back. You don’t need a partner, so don’t be afraid to come on your own!

There is more information about SOSA on the SOSA page on our website.

Instructor Sheila is looking forwards to welcoming you!
