Silverfit

Launch of Silverfit @Home - senior workout videos

Due to the suspension of our Silverfit exercise sessions from March 23rd, we launched Silverfit @Home - a series of online workouts, brought to you by our instructors, that can be followed in the comfort of your own home with little or no equipment required!

Videos were initially released at 10am every day to follow along, from 19th June content will be less frequent as some of our outdoor sessions have resumed.

All content remains on our channel for Silverfitters to do in their own time.

Silverfit @Home YouTube channel, can be found here.


A taster of what's on our channel...
 

We are providing these videos on our YouTube channel free of charge so there are no restrictions on who can enjoy them. However, should you wish to donate towards the production and staff/instructors costs involved, we have created a Just Giving page to give you the opportunity to do so:

How fantastic that we have now reached the milestone of over 100 workout videos on our Silverfit @ Home YouTube channel:

Our workout videos include:
Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Cheerleading, Zumba, Tango, Bollywood Dance, Nordic Walking at home, Walking Football and Fitness – by a variety of different instructors.

We want to say a big thank you to all of the instructors who have taken the time to record videos for us, keeping our channel consistent and full of variety for our members!
