At MOVEability, we’re passionate about empowering people of all ages and abilities to embrace movement. Our seated chair exercise classes, available both in person and online, are designed to foster a vibrant community where health, vitality, and connection flourish. We believe that staying active, no matter your circumstances, is key to a richer life.
As a social enterprise, we are committed to breaking down barriers to ensure those who could benefit from our seated chair exercise classes can. Through MOVEability, we envision a community where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a healthier, more active, and socially connected life.
The importance of staying active is so beneficial for mental and physical health. Taking part in our MOVEability sessions has allowed our participants to improve their mental and physical health, and over 9/10 people would recommend MOVEability to a friend. This is just a small fraction of the difference MOVEability has made to communities.
We know our model works, and we want it to become the default model for classes like ours up and down the country, with social enterprises and charitable organisations able to access funding from a central pot. Considering the social impact our classes make, it’s a no-brainer!
Our in-person and online seated classes help improve physical health, social interaction and mental health. Our class members report the following benefits of attending our classes:
