Alice is one of our members who go to the gentle exercise class, this is what
she has to say:
‘I enjoy the exercise class very much, I find it is energetic enough but not too
strenuous. Sandra the trainer is good, I judge this on:
I do work up a sweat (or perspiration) but no bad aches and pains after’
We also get lots of water during the session and fruit to follow’.
