Musical Chairs Seated Exercise Class

A beginner-friendly seated exercise class set to music at The Salvation Army in Newport, suitable for people with limited mobility.

Presented by Musical Chairs

Musical Chairs brings a new seated exercise-to-music class to The Salvation Army Church and Community Centre in Newport. The 45-minute session is designed for complete beginners and people with limited mobility or physical ability, keeping movement supported and approachable rather than fast or floor-based. It is a practical option for anyone who wants to be active but finds a conventional fitness class unsuitable.

The first advertised class takes place from 11am to 11.45am on Thursday 24 September and costs £5. Exercise is completed from a chair with music helping to shape the pace, which can make the session feel more social and less clinical. The venue is on Pyle Street in central Newport. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, but participants with particular access or health requirements should speak to the organiser before attending.

The poster describes this date as the start of a new class. This listing covers the confirmed launch session only, rather than assuming a weekly pattern that has not been published in full. Contact Katie on 07703 287713 or message the Musical Chairs Facebook profile to check places, ask what to wear and confirm any later dates. No specialist equipment is advertised, though comfortable clothing that allows easy movement is the sensible choice.

The focus here is participation at your own level, not keeping up with a room of experienced exercisers.
