Hello! I'm new to the forum and looking for advice. I am 57 and work full time as a college library manager but in the last couple of years trained as an exercise instructor. I am running hoop fitness classes and Move it or Lose it classes in my area. I have people coming to my hoop classes but they are much younger than me and I would like people my own age (to play with! The Move it or Lose it classes are aimed at the over 60s supposedly but really I think they are more for people 75+ . The latter classes are run nationwide and are quite specific in that I pay a licence to run the classes and are aimed at maintaining independence. They are great, fun classes and people in other parts of the country doing the same ones are having a ball at it whilst I have had absolutely nobody at my older people classes and don't know how to encourage people to come out. I can only do Sundays but thought this would be good for people who get out in the week and are perhaps a bit isolated at the weekends. I've done leaflets and flyers but am now at a loss. I've got a bit more funding which means the classes are cheaper for me to book which keeps the cost of the class down. How do I first of all get elderly people out to what will be fun and sociable classes and get the over 50s to come to my hooping classes? If anyone is still reading, this, thank you! any advice will be gratefully received!
