Active Ageing

Gym exercise is for all ages and levels of fitness. 
Our gyms at Ards, Comber and Portaferry have equipment suitable for gentle exercise, particularly the BIOCIRCUITS at Ards and qualified instructors are always on hand to give help and advice.

Active Ageing members pay the reduced price of £3.30 to use the gyms at:

Ards Blair Mayne Wellbeing and Leisure Complex
Comber Leisure Centre
Portaferry Sports Centre

Why exercise alone when you join a fitness class? All you have to do is turn up, follow the routine and enjoy the craic! Plus you'll have a fitness coach on hand throughout, offering encouragement and keeping an eye on everyone's technique, helping to avoid any injuries.

Some classes are better suited to Active Ageing such as:

• Tai Chi
• Armchair Yoga
• Chi Me
• Pilates
• Water Aerobics

Ards runs an Active Ageing and Armchair Yoga class and Comber a Chair Aerobics class, which are chair based, limited movement exercise classes.

Swimming is a great way to exercise as water supports the joints, and is kind to the body whilst increasing cardiovascular fitness and strength.
