Online classes free to Eastbourne keyworkers

The classes will be available for all key workers as identified by the government.

Accessible via a private Facebook group, ‘Live Life with Wave’ is a virtual community aiming to inspire active lifestyles across Sussex.

Members of Wave Leisure Trust and now any identified ‘key workers’ can share tips, motivational support and help each other keep active. Fitness experts from Wave will publish workouts that can take place at home or outdoors.

Chief executive Duncan Kerr said, “We are delighted to offer our fitness classes to key workers across the area. At times like this, communities must come together to support one another and so I hope our range of live workouts, fitness challenges and tips and tricks will support people during this time.”

There will be a mixture of live and pre-recorded fitness classes uploaded everyday Monday – Friday aimed at all abilities to help keep all ages active. There will be cardio activities, strength and balance exercises as well as gentle stretching for beginners.

Cat James, one of Wave’s members, said, “The Wave Facebook group is amazing. It keeps me in touch with the instructors and it really helps to still see the familiar faces I’m missing. The online and live workouts are brilliant, and the daily messages and top tips are really motivational. Thank you Wave for keeping me and my family moving.”

Upon requesting to join the group, individuals will be asked to answer a question indicating the work that they do, and then access will be approved.
