Chair Gym

Our Chair Gym programme utilises Adapted Physical Activities to provide participants with reduced mobility an appropriately gentle exercise class from a seated position.

This programme is designed to help residents to improve and maintain their strength, while building social links through fun interaction with other participants and our trainer.

From head to toe, each limb is used in a workout adapted to the participants. Sessions are designed around a theme, creating social links within the group and with the Siel Bleu trainer. The trainer will make a point of varying the explanations and the different types of physical activity, while making the sessions fun and interactive by using an array of exercises and upbeat group games.
