Jim's Gym - Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q1: Who is Jim's Gym for?

    A: Jim’s Gym is an online fitness community designed primarily for people over 55 who are looking for a fun, effective, and supportive way to stay active from home. Our members want to feel good, stay independent, and connect with like-minded people without the pressure or intimidation of a traditional gym.

  • Q2: I'm a complete beginner to exercise. Is Jim's Gym suitable for me?

    Absolutely! Jim's Gym was built with beginners in mind. Most of our members are looking for a gentle and welcoming way to start moving. Our expert instructors always provide modifications and options for every fitness level, including seated versions of exercises. It's all about doing what you can and feeling good, with no pressure at all.

  • Q3: What if I have health conditions or mobility issues?

    A: While we always recommend checking with your GP before starting any new exercise programme, our classes are designed to be safe and adaptable. We offer many low-impact and seated workouts, and our instructors are experienced in providing modifications for common conditions. The focus is always on safe, effective movement that suits your body.

  • Q4: Do I have to be over 55 to join?

    A: Not at all! While our community and classes are designed with the 55+ age group in mind, we welcome anyone who enjoys a friendly, pressure-free approach to fitness. If our focus on community, gentle exercise, and holistic wellbeing appeals to you, you are more than welcome.

  • Q5: What kind of fitness classes do you offer?

    A: We offer a wide variety of classes to keep things fun and interesting! Our schedule includes Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Dancercise, Strength & Cardio sessions, and specialist Movement Improvement classes. All are designed to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, and confidence.

  • Q6: Are the classes live? What if I miss one?

    A: Yes, we run over 14 live classes every week! The live sessions are a brilliant way to feel connected and motivated. But don't worry if you can't make it – every single class is recorded and added to our on-demand library of over 200 workouts, so you can catch up anytime that suits your schedule.

  • Q7: What equipment do I need?

    A: We believe in keeping things simple and accessible! For most of our classes, like Yoga and Tai Chi, all you'll need is a mat and a chair. For our strength sessions, it's useful to have a set of light dumbbells and a resistance band. Our instructors are brilliant at providing alternatives if you don't have equipment, so you can always join in regardless.

  • Q8: What is the Healthy Habits Club?

    A: The Healthy Habits Club is the heart of our "more than fitness" philosophy. It's a collection of members-only sessions designed to support your all-round wellbeing. This includes our monthly Nutrition Talks with an NHS Dietitian, our new monthly Art Club with a professional artist, and our relaxed JG Book Club.

  • Q9: What is the Jim's Gym community like?

    A: Our community is the most important part of what we do! It’s a genuinely wonderful and supportive group of friendly, like-minded people. It's a non-judgemental space where members share encouragement, ask questions, and have a good laugh. We connect during live classes and in our private WhatsApp Community hub.

  • Q10: Is Jim's Gym more than just exercise?

    A: Yes, much more! We believe that exercise is where we start but not where we stop. Our goal is to support your well-being in every sense. Through our fitness classes and the Healthy Habits Club (with its Art Club, Book Club, and Nutrition Talks), we provide a space for physical health, mental well-being, creativity, and social connection.
