What is Good Boost?
Good Boost is a multi-award-winning social enterprise working with community, leisure and health teams to deliver therapeutic exercise and self-management support in the heart of the community. The programme is designed to offer low-level, rehab-focused exercises, designed to improve function and symptoms at a particular body area (lower-back, shoulder, hip, knee). Participants can also choose to work on a rehab aim such as improving balance, strength or cardio vascular fitness.
Who is Good Boost for?
Classes are designed specifically for people living with musculoskeletal conditions and concurrent health problems and anyone wanting a gentle road back to fitness. While each participant has their own tailored exercise programme, Good Boost is delivered in a group class with the support and motivation of a facilitator. Participants feel connected and supported, addressing feelings of social isolation and having fun along the way.
How does Good Boost work?
Exercises are delivered through tablet computers using Good Boost’s unique AI technology to generate bespoke exercise programmes. Each participants’ health, symptoms and functional ability are considered to create paced, achievable exercise programmes, building confidence with exercise and physical activity. Our Aqua programme consider water confidence so are appropriate for non-swimmers and can be a great way to build confidence in the water.
Is anyone not suitable?
Health screening is provided through the Good Boost onboarding system, providing guidance and warnings where appropriate. As programmes are designed to be adaptable and achievable, it is highly likely that our system will find a suitable programme. We would recommend any participant who is unsure to have a quick conversation with our gym team or Good Boost facilitators first.
Thursdays - 10.15-11am
Good Boost sessions cost £4.50 per session for both members and non-members. We recommend booking in advance, as spaces are limited and sessions can fill up quickly. If a class environment isn’t for you, the Good Boost tablets can also be used during an open swim—just speak to a member of the centre team for more information.
