What members say about The Joy Club…

“I enjoy being challenged and to think outside the box, so the various talks and demonstrations on a whole variety of topics encourage me to keep interested and curious about things I might never have considered before.”

Brenda

“The Joy Club leads to confidence-building at an age that you least expect it - I feel like there are more possibilities. It’s not a closed door because you’re retired - there are opportunities to do so much more. I have that energy and desire to give something back now.”

Elizabeth

“What puts me off exercise in-person is having to spend time getting ready, going and coming back - online you don’t have to make a great deal of effort and look the part - put on an old pair of joggers and go!”

Sue

“I think it’s great value for money. I look at it like a gym membership - I’m saving money and I can do a lot more with The Joy Club.”

Carol

“The opportunity to try the free trial made me think that I would have time to test and do some taster sessions. I thought I had nothing to lose - I didn’t anticipate how much it would become part of my world.”

Liz

“The Joy Club has encouraged me to pick up on cardio and I’ve never done that before. It’s opened an avenue for me. If I went to an in-person session I wouldn’t be able to keep up! Online, I still get an aerobic plus factor!”
