Air-X @ Harborough Leisure Centre

I have attended the GP Referral Exercise classes for a little over two years now. During this time my overall fitness level has improved considerably. The pain due to my arthritis in my lower back has become much more manageable. My COPD has also shown signs of improvement. I can wholeheartedly recommend this exercise group. The instructor, Lorraine, is excellent. She is professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She encourages everyone to work at their own level and develop their fitness by tailoring exercises to individuals. There is also the social aspect to the group. I have made new friends and enjoyed the tea and biscuits afterwards in the cafeteria.

I attend GP Circuits, aqua aerobics and occasionally yoga. They are all great for different reasons .:Gp circuits the people and teacher are super friendly and the teacher Lorraine is very patient and attentive throughout the class ensuring we are working to the best of our ability whilst ensuring we are doing the exercises correctly. I also enjoy the meet after class as it gives us a chance to make friends and support each other. Aqua aerobics is taught by 2 different teachers who are very different in their styles one very body focussed ie which group of muscles we are working on and she gives us different options according to our ability, the other instructor is more fun focussed whilst at the same time working us hard. I enjoy both styles and I’m always surprised when the class finishes as it goes very quickly. I can’t often get to yoga as it is very popular but I enjoy that when I can get in for the quiet relaxation and the encouragement to listen to our bodies without judgement and stress.

I have been using the referral exercise class for the past 6 months and found them helpful in building up my levels of fitness. Lorraine the instructor works hard to deliver a wide range of activities that are effective and enjoyable. I recommend it for all ages as the pace is self determined within the overall regime of the session. I am very grateful for this opportunity following a knee replacement some time ago.

Adult swim classes are Harborough leisure centre's best kept secret. As a competent, adult swimmer, I was looking to improve my swim technique to become a more efficient swimmer. I’d considered looking for private swim coaching, but was delighted to discover that Harborough Leisure Centre run technique classes for adult swimmers. The groups are small so there is plenty of one-on-one support available from Nic, the fantastic Master Swimmer coach. My swimming improved after the first session and after several months I still continue to see meaningful improvements in my technique, efficiency and stamina. Would recommend to anyone looking to become a better swimmer. Just wish they have a swimming costume drying machine to save soggy swim bag!
