Physical Activity at Feel Good Factor

The aims of the project are to:

• Increase exercise in those who would not normally partake in any exercise.
• Make people more aware of the health benefits of exercise.
• Make it an enjoyable experience not a chore.
• Make new friends and socialise.

Here at Feel Good Factor we have an ongoing programme to make it possible for people to have affordable ways in which to access differing forms of physical activity to help them lead a better and healthy life.

We work with the older community providing Chair Aerobics tailoring each session to the needs of each group involved. We have provided interpreters for some groups with English as a second language.

To create community cohesion local older people and luncheon club members were invited to a Tea Dance which was a tremendous success and enabled people to meet from differing cultures and religions. Aerobic sessions for the more able, are run for all abilities these are based a Space@Hillcrest School on Mondays and Wednesdays.

A weekly health drop in which provides Pilates based exercise with a crèche to cater to for women with preschool children. We have also run bike safety workshops with local children in partnership with Leeds City Council.
