On 1 October 2025, people across the world will come together to celebrate the International Day of Older People. This year’s theme is Building Belonging: Celebrating the power of our social connections – and here at Magna Vitae, we couldn’t agree more!
We know that feeling connected, supported and part of something special is just as important as keeping physically active. That’s why our programmes and venues are about so much more than fitness – they’re about creating places where friendships are formed, laughter is shared, and everyone feels welcome.
Ageless & Agile – Our Award-Winning Programme
Our Ageless & Agile sessions are all about having fun, keeping moving and staying connected. Recognised with the Impact on Health award at Active Lincolnshire’s Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2024, this programme has already made a huge difference to people in our communities.
Every week, we bring people together to enjoy:
-
Gentle exercise like seated workouts and boccia
-
Nostalgic games, quizzes and crafts
-
Health and wellbeing topics such as dementia and diabetes awareness
-
A good old chat and plenty of laughs along the way!
The best part? Many of our regulars say Ageless & Agile has helped them make new friends, feel less isolated and even try activities they never thought they’d give a go!

Fitness, Friendship & Fun
Our leisure centres are more than places to work out – they’re hubs of community life and social connection. From fitness classes tailored to different abilities where you can be welcomed by friendly faces, to swimming and swimming lesson groups, or even just grabbing a coffee after a gym session, there are so many ways to stay active while meeting new people.
We love seeing the small moments that matter – the chats before class, the encouragement shared between friends and the smiles that show the real impact of belonging.

This International Day of Older People is a great reminder that staying active and connected makes all the difference – and at Magna Vitae, we’re here for you.
Come along to your local leisure centre, meet the team, and discover everything we have to offer. Whether it’s joining an Ageless & Agile session, trying out a fitness class, or simply popping in to see what’s on, you’ll always find a warm welcome and plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Later life is about enjoying new experiences, making connections, and feeling part of something – and we’re proud to help make that happen every day in our communities.
