Why Chair-Based Exercise Is So Important

Chair-based exercise is one of the most accessible ways to help people stay active, mobile and independent.

For many older adults, disabled adults or those living with limited mobility, traditional exercise classes may feel intimidating, unsuitable or physically challenging. Chair-based exercise provides a safe, supportive and enjoyable way to improve fitness, confidence and wellbeing.

These classes can help participants improve:

• Strength
• Mobility
• Balance
• Flexibility
• Cardiovascular fitness
• Functional movement
• Confidence
• Independence
• Social connection

As the demand for inclusive fitness continues to grow, qualified instructors who can work safely with specialist populations are increasingly needed.
