Changing The Lives Of Over 65s in Herne Bay & Whitstable

Why You NEED Strength Training

You don’t need another exercise class where you flap your arms, perform random movements and call it progress.

You Need Strength. You Need Endurance. You Need Balance. You Need Your Health. 

Getting older doesn’t have to mean becoming weaker and losing the ability to perform everyday activities confidently.

Push Pull Health offers 1-1 and small–group personal training for over-65s who want to stay capable, mobile, and confident doing the things they love—without fear of falling, sustaining injury, or feeling like a burden.

You receive personalised coaching in a private studio in Herne Bay, with a tailored plan designed to help you stay pain-free, build balance, strength, and move better—not worse.

This gym won’t ignore you. You won’t be thrown into the deep end. You won’t be made to feel stupid.

And you won’t be left feeling anxious, wondering, “Am I even doing this right?”

A PLACE YOU CAN TRUST

THIS GYM WILL BECOME YOUR SECOND HOME

The Perfect Time To Start Is Right Now

Real Coaching. Real Strength. Real Results.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many over-65s– some with Parkinson’s, dementia, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, heart disease and various mobility issues.

Some came with no conditions—just a growing fear that they were slipping and losing control of their lives.

Some worried about making things worse, while others thought they were “too far gone” to make a meaningful change.

They did, however, have the same things in common: 
They wanted to find a way to stay active, cognitively sharp, and independent—before their choice was taken away.

Don't Let Yourself Become A Statistic

Why Most Over 65s Lose Strength

Losing strength, mobility, and confidence isn’t just about “getting old.”
It’s what happens when pain–or the fear of making it worse–leads to doing less.

And the everyday movements you once took for granted now floor you.

You sit more.
You walk less.
You stop trusting your body.

This Gym Is Here To Help You Continue…

  • Picking up your grandkids without the fear of dropping them

  • Carrying your shopping without your grip giving out halfway

  • Climbing stairs without needing to rely on the bannister

  • Trusting your balance when stepping off the curb

The Reality Of Doing Nothing

Staying Independent

1 in 3 adults over 65 will fall this year.
And for many, that one fall changes everything.

Break a hip, and your odds of a full recovery drop fast.
Some never leave the hospital.

And if you do return home? It’s with more fear, less mobility, and a long list of things you now need help with.

You start avoiding movement.
You lose confidence.
You lose independence.

Grim? Yes.
Inevitable? No.

That’s Why This Gym Exists.

It Is Never Too Late

Senior Strength Success Stories

Joy - 86 - Retired Nurse

“I knew my muscles needed to get stronger. I’m well past pension age, and I realised that if they got any weaker, it could really hold me back. That’s when I decided to join Push Pull Health.

What I’m most proud of is simply feeling better in myself. I know that if I were to fall now, I’ve built up enough strength to help prevent a serious injury.

The sessions have been brilliant—not just the advice, but the people. We’ve become good friends, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them each week.

These days, I actually look forward to going to the gym.”

Kate - 65 - School Teacher

“Like many people in their 60s, I started to notice some changes: my knees felt stiffer, my back ached more, and I didn’t feel quite as strong or steady as I used to.

I’m a keen sea swimmer, which has helped me stay fit, but it hasn’t done much for the pain or helped me rebuild strength where I need it.

I’d followed Ben’s posts for a while, but with a hectic work schedule, the timing never felt right.

Regular gyms always felt a bit too much. Busy, intimidating, and geared towards younger people and bodybuilders.

It was one of Ben’s posts about building strength and mobility to help prevent falls that finally pushed me to get in touch, and I’m so glad I did!

The small group personal training at Push Pull Health in Herne Bay has been a breath of fresh air.”

DON'T WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE FALL

You don’t need to be frail to start losing your independence. It begins when you start avoiding stairs, skipping walks with friends, and relying on walls and furniture to balance.

Over the next 30 days, you’ll gain the tools, knowledge and, more importantly, the confidence to keep going in and out of the gym. Proving to yourself that you can build strength and fitness at any age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Senior Strength Coaching FAQs

We’re on Station Road, right in the heart of Herne Bay—a stone’s throw from the train station, the Heron pub, and the sea. (Post-workout fish and chips sold separately.)

Yes. There is room for up to 4 cars outside the studio. No stairs. No lifts. No endless corridors to navigate.
Just pull up, walk in, and start your session.
It’s fully accessible and easy to find—many local clients walk from nearby and treat it as part of their warm-up and cooldown.

Most of our Senior Strength sessions run from early morning through to early afternoon—ideal if you prefer to get moving before the day gets away from you or you have other plans.

We don’t run late-evening slots because, let’s be honest, who wants to train at 8 pm?

We’ll work with your schedule to find a time that suits. After every session, tea, coffee, and nibbles will be available.

Absolutely not!
Whether you’re out of breath climbing the stairs or haven’t moved much since PE (and hated that), this is designed to meet you where you are. No judgment. No pressure. Just a progression-based plan to get you moving safely and confidently.

You’re not alone. Most new clients feel the same. (and most still do) You won’t be surrounded by mirrors, machines, or meatheads. Just a small group of people like you, in a quiet, private space, with a coach who will guide you every step of the way.

Yes. That’s the whole point. Every session is tailored to your needs—whether you have dodgy knees, arthritis, balance issues, joint pain, back pain, or hypertension, we focus on what you can do, not what you can’t.

The goal here isn’t to run you into the ground—it’s to build strength safely and gradually. You’ll be coached through every movement and supported to work at your own pace. This is about preventing injury, not causing it.

Life happens—appointments, illness, unexpected chaos. We don’t punish you or make you feel behind. You pick up where you left off. We adjust and keep moving forward.

Our 30-Day Trial—“30 Days to Sample the Goods”—is £99. That gets you 1x small group personal training session per week, 30 days of nutrition, habit, and lifestyle support, weekly check-ins, and guaranteed results (if you show up). Want more than one session a week? We can add extra heavily discounted sessions to help you stay motivated and keep moving during the first 30 days.

That’s fine. Many clients start with 1-1 sessions for more tailored support and to build confidence. From there, you can move into small-group training later—or stay 1-1.

Probably not. Many of our clients are well into their 70s and 80s. You’ll be training with people who get it — and who felt just like you did on Day 1.

Our current oldest client is Joy, who’s 86!.

Can you beat it!?

A little stiffness is to be expected. Especially if it’s been a while, but this isn’t about punishment or pain—it’s about building strength and fitness in a way your body can handle.

Yes—during your 30-Day Trial, you’ll get nutrition and habit advice designed to help you build muscle, keep your energy up, and feel better in your own body.

Not feeling hungry as much? That’s common too. We can work around low appetite, digestive issues, or any other factors affecting your calorie intake.

Want to go deeper? You can visit our Nutrition & Behaviour Change Coaching Page for additional, longer-term nutrition and habit support.

This isn’t a class where you’re left to guess or copy someone at the front. Every session is capped at 4 people, coached from start to finish, and adapted to your pace, confidence, and ability level.
