🫂 Men, Movement, and Mental Health at MOVEability 🚶‍♂️💙

As it's November and Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to give a huge shout-out to all the fantastic men who attend our classes!

Our seated chair exercise sessions offer a host of physical benefits, but in support of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to shine a light on two vital areas:✨

1. Moving for the Mind:🧠Getting that gentle, consistent movement is one of the best, most practical ways to boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep. It’s simple self-care that works. ✨

2. Genuine Connection: 🤝The true magic of MOVEability happens in the shared laughter, the friendly faces, and the true sense of community our classes foster. It’s dedicated time where you can switch off the worries and connect with others.😊

Thank you for being part of our community. We love having you in the class (and the ladies too, of course)!❤️

🥳 Fundraising Update: MOVEability's Big Christmas Lunch! 🎄

Over £1,700 raised so far, in no small part thanks to Debbie Mumford’s amazing paragliding challenge! ✈️

The excitement is building: more than 100 people from the MOVEability community (class participants, carers and supporters) have accepted an invitation to attend!

Many of you attending have even donated to make sure no one misses out. Thank you!

Can we keep going and raise over £2,000 to make this a festive lunch to remember?

If Debbie can soar above the clouds in a paraglider to 3,000ft, I think we can hit this new target. 💪

🚀 The Debbies Swap Chairs for Strategy!

Founder, Debbie Medlin and one of our valued instructors Debbie Mumford, were out in force today, trading their seated exercise chairs for a full day of networking and collaboration! 🫂

They headed to the Berkshire Community Foundation Symposium to connect with local charities, fellow social enterprises and, sharing their expertise and building partnerships across the sector.

Debbie Medlin, ever dynamic, even managed to pop out part-way through to contribute to a Get Berkshire Active webinar on the important theme of 'Live Longer, Better.' 💡👏

It's all part of our mission to enhance lives through accessible fitness and community connection.

As it's 🎃Halloween👻 tomorrow, we wanted to ask: what’s the scariest scenario we can imagine at MOVEability?

A silent room where the only sound is the creak of rusty chairs. No upbeat music 🎶, no genuine laughter🤣, no sense of belonging💙. That truly gives us the chills!😱

What's your exercise class horror? Share what gives you the shivers👇

We are excited to share our latest blog, "10 Best Seated Exercises for Seniors," in which we explain why accessible movement is absolutely vital for maintaining independence, strengthening bones, and boosting mood as we grow older.

Seniors are at the heart of what we do, and we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, fun space for this age group to thrive. However, our commitment to accessibility is universal!

At MOVEability, we pride ourselves on being for ALL ages and abilities. We know our gentle, inclusive classes have also proved a crucial lifeline for younger participants, especially those managing chronic health conditions or persistent pain.

The benefits are the same for everyone: safety, strength, and a genuine feeling of belonging.

Read the guide for tips, and then join us to find your MOVEability! 💙😀

Your First Class is FREE—in-person across Berkshire or online from home.
