Falls Prevention Classes at Bluecoats Sports are designed to help older adults and individuals with mobility challenges reduce the risk of falls. Focusing on improving coordination, strength and balance, our classes aim to enhance physical stability and confidence in daily movements to prevent falls.

Each class is led by a qualified instructor, ensuring that exercises are safe, effective, and tailored to meet your needs. Classes are held weekly and are kept in small groups for personalised attention. Before joining, participants undergo a simple screening process and falls risk assessment, during which our team assesses their suitability and recommends the best approach for them.

These classes are available to both members and non-members for £2 a session for 36-weeks. Whether you want to improve balance, increase strength, or stay active and independent, our falls prevention classes can help.

What our members say

I’m finding the Falls Prevention sessions very helpful. We’re given advice and exercises to do at home. Michelle and Lee are friendly, and make the classes fun. Although I now use a stick after my November 2024 fall, I do feel more confident walking.

Susan

Excellent – the interview process was a great idea to confirm that the course would be suitable for me. I like that we have various sections to work through for different issues like balance / strengthening / stretching. I am very much enjoying the process. The course is teaching me that I can progress!

I have really benefited from joining the Falls Prevention class. My posture, balance & coordination are improving & I am feeling more confident in understanding the boundaries of my diagnosis. In addition to the class, I enjoy walking each day & exercising at home. Thank you for developing the class.
