I went to the Carleen fitness for movement for the first time on the 16th March and found it was a relaxed class with gentle stretching and coordination exercises and Marie was very welcoming

It is so good to have an exercise class close to home. After the classes you leave feel good. They are the sort of exercise that makes you move but not so energetic that you feel you are trying to change your figure type. At my age I just want to keep moving snd have fun doing it. These classes do that

Over 55 movement group Carleen

As someone that hasn't done exercise in recent years, this has been great. Despite the mix of ages and abilities Marie has pitched her exercises to all. With humour and drive she gets everyone going. Despite originally feeling this wasn't for me, I enjoy the light hearted way to exercise.
Thank you Marie

I was unsure if I should go to the Stronger Together fitness group at Carleen because I have a disability that makes me feel very self conscious. I'm do glad I went. Marie makes it fun and a relaxed group. It has helped me considablely with getting movement in my shoulder. I look forward to Monday afternoons and I'm sure it will help with my balance and leg. Very much hoping and wishing that Marie can carry the group on next year. Thank you Marie you have given me confidence again.

Free fitness class at Carleen Village Hall

I would recommend the fitness class at Carleen Village Hall on a Monday. Plenty of space to enjoy various exercises with Marie who is a brilliant instructor.
This is a class which will cater for all abilities.
Best of all its free!! Plus tea and biscuits afterwards 😋

Wonderful walk, very well run

I recently enjoyed a guided woodland walk with Laura and Marie. Both ladies were welcoming and friendly, and they looked after us well throughout the walk. Before any stretch that might have been challenging they checked that we were all comfortable to proceed, with no pressure at all.
We had some good laughs, saw some lovely natural features of the woodland and took our time to make sure we missed nothing of interest.
I came away from the walk cheerful and relaxed, which is a gift at this tense time in the world.
I really can't fault Duchycollectivecic on the basis of the event I attended, and look forward to enjoying more of their activities.

Budock’sbuzzing on a Wednesday!

I have just started the over 55 exercise class at Budock village hall with Marie. She is a calm and welcoming instructor who gently encourages everyone to do what they can. Her helpful explanations make you more aware of how to focus on your own specific needs which is great. We all have a good laugh and it’s an opportunity to get out and meet new people which helps your mental health too. I thorough enjoy going each week. Thank you Marie.

Fun exercise for free.

I love and look forward to doing these keep fit sessions. It’s fun and everyone can take part or not it’s entirely up to your capabilities but no one expects anything of you. Marie is such an inspiring leader who encourages you to do as much as you can.
You can make new friends and can have coffee or tea and biscuits afterwards. These are free sessions and I for one, feel very grateful

Perfect work out for over 55s

This is an excellent class for the over 55s. Gentle exercises to help keep your joints mobile , improve your balance and strengthen your core but you are able to step up the rate if you want to. Marie is a brilliant instructor, makes everyone welcome, suggests alternative movements if you struggle with any of them. A good way to meet people as well
