Up & Active and Over 60’s

We are extremely excited to announce that Anita Saunders, formerly of the RVBC Healthy Lifestyles team, has joined the Roefield team as our brand-new Up & Active Coordintor!

Anita will be bringing her expertise in the gym, alongside her specialism in cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation exercise.

Roefield has made the decision to run the scheme ourselves in house, and Anita will be running a variety of sessions each week that vary in intensity. Alongside Up & Active sessions, Anita will also be running Active Gym sessions for ages 60+.

If you meet any of the criteria for the Up & Active scheme, please send an email to sport@roefield.co.uk with your contact details and Anita will give you a call:
