Kamuben Patel, 80, said she had seen a huge difference since she started the sessions.
“Because I live on my own it helps me to move on and just be strong and do things myself,” she said.
“I like to do things myself and not be dependent on anybody”.
Amandeep Managat, from Viva Slough, created the Boost Health programme after becoming concerned about public health in the town and had discussions with local GPs.
GPs sent text messages to patients that had certain health conditions such as diabetes and heart conditions encouraging them to attend the free exercise classes when they started – with 150 people turning up to the first one.
“It has been a real lifeline for some of these residents,” Amandeep said.
The sessions later expanded into multiple classes a week and were classed as a social prescription.
Amandeep added that the sessions were currently over subscribed, so additional funding was being sough to expand further.
