Spending long periods sitting, becoming less active, or simply getting older can gradually affect your mobility, balance and strength.
You may notice that you feel stiffer, less steady on your feet, slower getting up from a chair, or less confident doing the everyday activities you used to take for granted.
At AGM Centre, our Mobility, Balance & Functional Fitness sessions are designed to help adults move more confidently, improve functional strength and stay active and independent.
You do not need to be fit to start.
We start from where you are now and work at a level appropriate to you.
We can help you work on:
Mobility and flexibility
Balance and stability
Functional strength
Coordination
Posture and movement confidence
Getting up, walking, bending and reaching more comfortably
Returning to regular physical activity
Maintaining independence as you get older
Where Should I Start?
Mobility Taster Session
30 minutes | £45
Curious about the service but not ready to commit?
The Mobility Taster is a relaxed introduction to our approach.
You will try suitable mobility, balance and functional movement exercises adapted to your current ability and have the opportunity to see whether the programme feels right for you.
Ideal if you have become less active, spend a lot of time sitting, feel stiff or simply want to start moving more.
This is an introductory session and not a full mobility assessment.

Initial Consultation & Assessment
Mobility, Balance & Functional Fitness
90 minutes | £95
If you have specific concerns about your mobility, balance, strength or confidence, start here.
Before your appointment, you will complete a health and physical activity questionnaire.
During your consultation, we will discuss your current abilities, lifestyle, concerns and goals before carrying out appropriate mobility, balance and functional movement assessments.
At the end of the appointment, we will explain what we have observed and discuss the most appropriate next steps for you.
You do not need to book a Taster before having an Initial Consultation & Assessment.

Who Is This For?
Our Mobility, Balance & Functional Fitness service may be suitable if you:
Spend a lot of your day sitting and want to become more active
Feel stiff or less mobile than you used to
Feel less steady or confident on your feet
Want to improve your balance or functional strength
Find everyday movements more difficult
Have become less active following a period of illness or inactivity

Working on strength, balance and movement can also be part of staying well and active as you age.
A Personalised Approach
Everyone starts from a different place.
Your sessions are adapted to your current ability, lifestyle and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all programme.
Antonella Meli is a Personal Trainer and Mobility Coach with a particular interest in helping adults maintain mobility, functional strength, balance and confidence.
Her background in foot health also gives her an understanding of the important relationship between the feet, balance and everyday movement.
Health & Wellness Talks
AGM Centre also offers engaging Health & Wellness Talks for community groups, organisations and local groups interested in healthy ageing and everyday wellbeing.
Drawing on Antonella’s experience in mobility and functional fitness and foot health, together with her studies in Ayurveda and nutrition, talks can explore practical topics such as staying active as we age, mobility and balance, healthy lifestyle habits and general wellbeing.
Talks can be tailored to the interests and needs of your group.
