RightStart is Huntingdonshire’s programme of inclusive, low‑impact exercise classes designed for older people and others who need extra support to exercise. The RightStart sessions are varied and sit‑based, with options ranging from chair‑based exercises to chair and strength, balance, postural stability, aerobic/circuit and aqua formats. The aim is to help people become more active, improve mobility, balance and confidence, and meet others in a friendly, supportive environment. A variety of classes are offered across the district, taught by qualified instructors who tailor activities to different abilities, often with seated or supported options. Costs are stated on the page: from April 2026, RightStart classes cost £4.90 per session, with a 10‑class multi‑pass available for £44. Timetables are provided on the page, listing venues and times such as RightStart 1: Chair‑based exercise at Royal British Legion Hall, Somersham; Buckden Village Hall; One Leisure St Neots; and more. RightStart 2 (Chair and strength), RightStart 3 (Strength and balance), RightStart 4 (Postural stability), RightStart 5 (Aerobic/circuit type) are described, with corresponding sessions across multiple venues. There is also RightStart Aqua (water-based classes), RightStart Cycle (indoor cycling), and RightStart Tai Chi Qigong (chair‑based form). In addition, a separate “Right Now” programme is listed with a different pricing tier (£5.40 pay‑as‑you‑go) offering other gentle activities. Access is via the published timetable published on the page; referrals are not described on this page. Areas covered include various towns and villages within Huntingdonshire, with sessions held in venues across the district.
