Lifting weights can help you live longer!

It’s always good when the news of the day highlights the work we do at Fit for Life.

Weight training is for people of all ages and doesn’t need to involve a trip to the gym.

Get in touch with me at Fit for Life, Specialist Strength and Balance training for the anyone in there 60s, 70s 80s and 90s.

Regular weight training can significantly reduce the risk of early death, research suggests.

Mental Health Awareness Week is coming up from 11-17 May. 🧠

This Mental Health Awareness Week, the Mental Health Foundation are asking people to join them in taking action to support good mental health. Even small actions can help us feel hopeful and less powerless. And while our individual actions matter, when we come together we are even more powerful.

One action we can take to improve our mental wellbeing is partaking in physical activity - there are many benefits we can have from being active.

The hardest bit of our exercise class is getting out of the house to get there in this gloomy weather!
Moving to music with friendly faces makes you feel better!
Thanks to everyone who braved the rain in Bishop’s Castle yesterday afternoon 😁

It was so wonderful to see 30 of my exercise class participants from 9 different classes all enjoying coffee, cake and chat together today at Icon Cafe in St. Laurence’s Church in Ludlow.
A lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
We will definitely make these social get togethers a more regular thing - so much fun! 😁

Hi Everyone,

2025 has been a year of highs and lows for me - celebrating my 50th yet losing my dear Mum. Both massive moments which rippled throughout the year.

I had intended for 2025 to be a year to push forward with my two businesses Ludlow Bowen Therapy and Fit for Life Exercise Classes with Sophie. Unfortunately the universe had other ideas and work for me was very much about ‘maintaining’ in 2025.

I love wearing both of my business ‘hats’ of Bowen Therapist and Strength and Balance Specialist and Exercise Coach. One set of skills very much influences the other and gives me a unique standing point where I am able to help people feel better and bring lasting changes to their lives through the wonder of Bowen Therapy and making fitness fun and accessible.

My goal in 2026 is to integrate these two sides of my work to better serve my wonderful clients and the community where I live, in and around Ludlow.

So if you’ld like to check out my timetable of exercise classes for those 60+ in Ludlow and South Shropshire, take a look at Fit For Life Exercise Classes with Sophie

Or if you’re interested in finding out more about Bowen Therapy, book a 30 min taster session for £25 for yourself or a loved one at Ludlow Bowen Therapy

Either way, contact me, Sophie, in one of my two hats!

Happy New Year to you all.
Sophie
