Free Weekly YouTube Workouts at Home for Over 55s
Fun, Simple Fitness for Over 55s: Try Our New Weekly YouTube Workouts.
At Jim’s Gym, fitness is at the centre but community and accessibility are never far behind. That’s why I’m excited to share something new: we’re now uploading a free full workout to YouTube every Monday at 10am.
Each week you’ll find a different style of class, all taken from our live schedule. It’s a chance to try out different sessions, meet our brilliant instructors, and get a feel for what Jim’s Gym is all about.
So far, we’ve shared:
Tai Chi with Andy Yau – a calming, balanced class designed to help you move with flow and confidence.
Yoga with Virginia Walker – gentle stretches to improve mobility and leave you feeling relaxed.
And this week you can try a Strength and Cardio session – short, energising, and designed to get you moving and feeling super chuffed with yourself that you’ve ticked off some additional exercise for the day.
Fun comes first
Forget boring routines, intimidating gyms, or watered-down workouts. Jim’s Gym is fitness that’s fun, functional, and designed for people over 55 who want to feel their best. Every class is light-hearted, welcoming, and built to leave you with a smile.
Members consistently highlight the atmosphere as a key difference. As one review put it, “Great classes which are fun and you get a great workout. So pleased I joined James with all the other lovely members.”
We often have more than 40 people in a live session, which means you’re not just exercising on your own at home. You feel part of something bigger, moving alongside others who share the same goal of staying active and feeling good. That sense of connection makes each class more motivating and enjoyable.
Why live workouts matter
The YouTube uploads are tasters – a great way to get started. But the real value of Jim’s Gym is in our live workouts. With 14+ classes every week, there’s always something new to try and a friendly face to join you on screen.
Members frequently point to the combination of structure and flexibility as a huge benefit. “Such a great platform – you can do as much or as little as you like and so varied in types of exercise that get you moving, and have fun too,” said Angela, who joined earlier this year.
And with seated options in many sessions, there’s genuinely something for everyone, whatever your starting point.
Simple, achievable, and built for you
The NHS guidelines recommend aiming for 150 minutes of activity per week to maintain health and independence. Inside Jim’s Gym, that’s not a hardship – it’s an enjoyable routine. By joining a handful of live classes or mixing them with on-demand workouts, you’ll hit that target without even thinking about it.
We’re not about extreme training or watered-down workouts. Instead, we keep it simple, fun, and effective. Jim’s Gym is about helping you feel confident, mobile, and energised in everyday life — and having a good time while you’re at it.
As one member recently put it, “Since joining Jim’s Gym I have got stronger and fitter and I am being encouraged to age healthily. James has a unique way of making exercise fun. I also love the Yoga sessions, the Book Club and the Healthy Habits Club.”
