Positive Living at The Sussex Beacon
We offer a weekly Positive Fitness class, for people living with HIV across Sussex.
Positive Fitness Class
Exercise and active living can improve our physical and emotional health and help build our resilience and confidence.
The Positive Fitness Class is a physiotherapy supervised group based on individualised exercises and educational support with HIV, general health and physical activity.
The classes are weekly for 1.5 hours at the Sussex Beacon, where we transform our Day Room into a fitness studio! The session includes an individualised exercise programme as well health talks and peer support.
The purpose of these classes and support sessions is to help address the physical, mental and social health related challenges associated with HIV, medication side effects, complex health needs and ageing.
