Aria Care has announced a 12-month partnership with Burns Gym to bring its virtual fitness programme to all 50 Aria care homes.
The collaboration aims to enhance the physical and mental wellbeing of Aria Care residents through engaging and inclusive virtual exercise sessions.
Michele Saunders, dementia & lifestyle manager at Aria Care, said: “At a recent Burns Gym workshop in one of our homes, the laughter and socialising of the group overtook the exercises. Residents were chatting, laughing at how everyone’s arms and legs were all lifting together, and unknowingly moving in time to the music, increasing their mobility and strength. The sight of boys in kilts added to the fun. After the workshop, the energy was high, and residents left with large smiles. In a short time, a big difference was made. Thank you, Joe, and Tony, for making a structured exercise class full of fun for everyone.”
Joe Burns, co-owner of Burns Gym, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Aria to bring our programme to all Aria care homes. This partnership aligns with our mission of making fitness inclusive to everyone.”
Tony Burns, co-owner of Burns Gym, added: “We are excited to announce our partnership with Aria Care. At Burns Gym, we are passionate about our work and committed to ensuring that the people we support receive the best possible service from our programme.”
