What is Body & Soul?
Body & Soul is about helping people get strong, in mind, body and soul.
We run high-quality, church-based exercise classes to help improve your physical, mental and spiritual health.
Train with a qualified Body & Soul coach, reach your fitness goals, build community with others and strengthen your body and soul.
Body & Soul is based out of Christ Church Surbiton (Christ Church Road, KT5 8JJ) but classes will also take place at Emmanuel on Tuesdays 2pm (MoveWell 60+ class). There is a reduced scheduled over the summer with further classes restarting Tuesday 15 September.
The aim of Body & Soul is to run high quality classes that are both affordable and accessible. Our classes are run on a pay-what-you-can basis, with no joining fees or contracts. The upper limit is £10 but you can pay anything between £1-£10; whatever suits your budget.
MoveWell 60+ is a class designed to help make you stronger and more mobile, while making friends and having fun. There is an option to stay around afterwards (for around 30 mins) to chat and make friends over drinks and healthy snacks. This class is suitable for those with reduced mobility of any age or recovering from surgery, as long as your GP has cleared you for exercise – if you are in doubt, please check. There will be a range of different exercises to suit you whatever your experience or current fitness level.
Body & Soul offers a range of classes to cater for different abilities and fitness levels and within each class you will be given variations of each exercise to meet your needs. The current Body & Soul Coaches are Charles Kimbangi and Denise Morris. Charles is a CIMSPA accredited Level 3 Personal Trainer and Gym Instructor, as well as a member of the staff team at Christ Church Surbiton Hill. As well as being a member at Christ Church, Denise is a CIMSPA accredited, qualified instructor to coach adults who are 60+ years old. Denise leads all of our MoveWell 60+ classes.
