What we do Adults Elevate Elevate classes are designed to improve strength and balance for local people aged 60+ Funded by Shropshire Council, Elevate strength and balance classes are for people age 60 years and over. Reducing the risk of falls, these classes are specifically aimed to help people get up and out again after lock-down, help with de-conditioning, to maintain independence and improve well-being. Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions we are unable to run the Elevate classes at the current time, however now that the vaccination programme is well under way and the Government have released their plans for coming out of lock down, we are now looking at how we can get back to face to face activity as soon as safely possible. In the meantime, Energize and the wonderful team of Elevate instructors have developed the Elevate at Home training programme. Elevate at Home This exercise programme is to be used as guidance to help you stay active in your own home. If you have concerns about your suitability for this exercise programme, or indeed any questions on being safe whilst exercising, please contact us and we will advise you.
