Lead a happier, healthier life with our Good Boost classes and Arthritis Action coffee mornings at Barry Leisure Centre. These sessions will provide you with the information and exercises to help reduce your muscular and joint pain, improve your physical and mental health, and enhance the quality of your life.
Good Boost provides a flexible approach to supporting you with your muscle or joint pain through gentle aqua and land based exercise rehabilitation classes.
Using information provided about your unique muscle or joint condition, sessions are individually tailored to allow you to progress through your exercises at your own pace and have been built by experts in order to reduce pain and improve your strength and mobility.
The sessions last between 30-60 minutes (site dependant) and consist of a 10-minute warm up followed by a series of 3-4 minute individual exercises, with fun group activities in-between in order to maintain a comfortable body temperature. Both group and individual sessions are available (please check at your leisure facility).
You will be given your own easy-to-use waterproof computer tablet during the session which will display your personalised exercises with clear animated diagrams. Your Good Boost facilitator will be in and around the pool throughout the session to support and guide you.

Our Bump Boost Programme has been designed with Mum’s and natal experts to support expectant and new Mums be active in the Pool.
It is designed to be fun and beneficial for people with a range of health conditions and it is suitable for people experiencing muscular skeletal issues.
We plan to improve health and well-being through personalised movement and rehabilitation, powered by technology to create accessible and affordable community services that reduce health inequalities.
Like Good Boost, each person will be issued with an ipad which will illustrate exercises via an animated image working on improving movement and building strength and mobility.
