😮 Many of our class members have the muscle strength of someone 10 to 15 years younger.

In this video, our founder Julie Robinson shares one of the findings that surprised her most from our newly launched 2026 Impact Report — and why it matters for helping older adults stay stronger, healthier and independent for longer.

Around 70,000 older adults already take part in Move it or Lose it classes every week, in community centres, church halls and local venues across the country. 💜

Our Impact Report brings together the evidence behind that reach — from improvements in strength and activity levels to the confidence, wellbeing and sense of community our classes can create.

Going pink for a wonderful local cause! 💗

A big shoutout to our instructor Lynn and her lovely class members, who have been collecting donations for as part of Go Pink for Ashgate this October. 👏

And a special mention to Jim, who is 85 and, as Lynn tells us, “a real sport!” Thank you for joining in the fun, Jim! 🥰

It’s lovely to see our Move it or Lose it community coming together to support a local charity.

Thank you to Lynn and everyone who has taken part and donated. Please join us in giving them a big round of applause! 💗

💬 “Is it safe to exercise with a long-term condition?”
In many cases, yes. And regular movement may be one of the best things you can do.
Physical activity can help you:
✅ Build strength and improve balance
✅ Support your mood and confidence
✅ Stay independent for longer
✅ Manage or reduce the risk of some health conditions
The key is to start gently, build up gradually and move in a way that feels right for you.
Move it or Lose it classes are designed to offer seated and standing options, so you can exercise at your own pace with guidance and support. 💙
Movement does not have to be perfect to be powerful.

One wonderful community and an incredible £970 raised! 🩷🍰👏

Our instructor Nicky Derrick brought her Move it or Lose it community together for an afternoon tea in support of — and everyone pulled out the stops!

Class members organised a raffle, made cakes and sandwiches, lent cake stands, bunting and crockery, provided tablecloths, and helped set up and tidy away. A wonderful team effort! 💛

Nicky said it was amazing to see everything come together, although she had “lists coming out of me ears!!” 🤣

Our instructors do so much more than run exercise classes. They build friendships, bring people together and create communities where everyone has something to contribute. That connection carries on beyond the weekly class — and look what it can achieve!

A huge thank you to Nicky and everyone who gave their time, baking skills, donations and support. £970 is a fantastic total, and you should all be incredibly proud. 🩷

Give Nicky and her wonderful community a big round of applause in the comments! 👏

When our instructor Lucy Faulkner got married on 5th September, her class members came along to give her a very special guard of honour—with a twist! You guessed it: batons! Where would we be without our trusty batons? 💜💍

What a lovely way to celebrate together—and a beautiful example of the friendships that grow through our classes. Those connections reach well beyond the weekly session, into some of life’s most memorable moments. 🥰

Thank you for sharing this wonderful photo with us, Lucy!

Please join us in congratulating Lucy and her partner and wishing them a lifetime of happiness! 💐

Plimsolls. Wooden benches. Beanbags. The dreaded school PE kit. 😄

What do YOU remember most about PE lessons at school?

And be honest… did you love them or spend years trying to avoid them?

When the walks get shorter and the garden gets quieter…
Autumn can mean we’re a little less active without really noticing.
You may still be enjoying your usual Move it or Lose it class, but with fewer walks, less gardening and more time indoors, it can be helpful to add a little extra movement between sessions.
The Move it or Lose it Online Club gives you access to live classes, catch-up sessions and an on-demand library, so you can keep moving from home whenever it suits you. 💚
