Active Forth has a range of physical activity options designed to meet a wide range of fitness levels and individual ability. You have the choice of attending studio-based classes, gym, swimming or our Shapemaster suite located at the Mariner.  The Active Forth team member will discuss all these options with you.

• Studio Class Activity: We have a range of class options to select from, our Physical Activity Referral Consultants will support and guide you on the most suitable ones for you.  Studio based classes delivered by our Level 4 Specialist Physical Activity Referral Consultants consist of Strength & Balance, Active Forth Circuits, and Active Forth Intervals.  All these classes have been created with a whole body approach combining upper and lower body exercises. All the sessions can be adapted to meet your individual needs and your level of ability.  As you progress over the 24 weeks the Active Forth team will encourage and support you to increase your activity in a manner most suitable to you.  We even have a selection of Pre Recorded online classes available via Falkirk Fitness App which can be done in the comfort of your own home should you not be able to make it to the centre every week.  Only take part in these online sessions when advised to by your Physical Activity Consultant.   Check out our Active Forth classes section for more detailed information.
• Gym programme:  This is a great opportunity for you to have a personalised exercise programme designed by a Physical Activity Referral Consultant or the gym team if suitable. Your initial session will consist of coaching you on how, what and why to use different machines, including advice on how much, how often and how long. Once complete you can use your personalised programme to access the gym at a time that suits you.  If you require additional gym support the physical activity consultant can discuss the available options for this.
• Swimming: Often a great starting point for individuals due to low weight bearing qualities on joints.   This can also form part of a continuation of rehabilitation from injury or operation.  The physical activity consultant can support you on pool use for continuation of physio rehabilitation and or water based activity as part of your physical activity plan.  There is also the option to take part in the very popular Aqua aerobics available at Mariner and Grangemouth Sport complex.
• Shapemaster (Innerva): Located at The Mariner we have a hub away from the gym entirely dedicated to 12 power assisted exercise machines. Designed to be performed in a circuit format the machines are unlike traditional gym equipment, they do not rely exclusively on muscle power from the user as they have an electronic power system which assists the users to work passively or actively, depending on their ability making it a perfect choice for anyone coming back to exercise after long periods of no activity.  It’s also great for older adults or those with a range of long term health conditions. If it’s suitable the Physical Activity referral consultant at The Mariner centre can arrange for an induction into the hub and provided information on the bookable sessions to attend.
