What is Good Boost?
Good Boost is a gentle exercise programme that helps you move more and feel better.
The exercises are made just for you, based on your health, how you feel, and what you can do. You can choose to exercise in the pool or on land.
You will use a small, easy-to-use handheld computer (provided by the centre) that shows you what exercises to do. The exercises change as you improve, so they always stay right for you.
The movements are slow and supportive, and can help with:
Back, shoulder, hip or knee pain
Building strength
Improving balance
Feeling fitter and more confident
You go at your own pace, and support is always available if you need help.
Good Boost 8-Week Course
You'll enrol on one of our 8-week aqua or land courses. These provide weekly 45-minute group sessions led by a facilitator, in the pool or in the studio.
Good Boost Grab & Go Sessions
Alongside your 8-week course, you will have access to Grab & Go sessions where you can complete your exercise independently in the gym or in one of our existing pool sessions. You can continue to attend these sessions even after your 8-week course has ended.
