At E.L. Fitness we love helping in the community as much as we can. Giving back to those in need is one of the most rewarding feelings, and it means the E.L. Fitness community continues to grow. We are stronger together. We run weekly exercise classes for local senior citizens, and when allowed we take them all on weekly walks in Upton Court Park. The online classes and walks do wonders for combating loneliness which is something currently so prevalent within the elderly population. We get to connect with each other, share stories and exercise at the same time. Exercise and mobility is so important within the elderly community, lifting their mood, and increasing strength and balance which in turn can lower the risk of falls and injuries.
The latest fundraising effort was an ELF half marathon, raising over £150 for both DASH domestic abuse charity and CLIC Sargent a childhood cancer charity.
We're always happy to help whenever we can with local fundraisers and community projects. We've helped raise funds for a defibrillator in our local park that benefits the whole community. We make regular donations to our local foodbanks, we go into stores and raise money for local charities, and last year we organised a charity walk for baby loss awareness week raising money for SANDs.
