A Warm Welcome 


Welcome to the Isabel Blackman Centre (IBC), Winding Street, Old Town, Hastings.  

We are a health, leisure and wellbeing centre for the over 50's, providing activity classes, an exercise studio, accessible gym and therapy room. We also have a café restaurant that is open to all.

Our aim is to offer a warm, affordable, place for you to learn something new, enjoy keeping fit and socialise.

We are open Monday to Friday 8am - 4pm, Saturdays 9am - 2pm and Sundays from the 1st April.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Tech PM

We receive many requests to offer low level advice on using phones, tablets and apps. With this is mind we are now offering a weekly drop-in from 2.30 - 3.30pm every Wednesday in our café. Pop in with your device and we will do our best to guide you through the 'how to' of whatever it is that you are struggling with and get you and your technical friend on track. 
Please note: This is for Members Only and we can only advise you on usage not any technical issues you may be having.

The Benefits of Keeping Fit

Getting fit when you are over 50 is an amazing opportunity to help support your general health in later life, both physically and mentally. Not only can regular exercise help you manage things like your weight and heart health, but it can also reduce your risk of serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Here at the IBC not only do we have our gym exclusively for the over 50's, but we have a great range of fitness classes for all levels, and our Physical Instructor Ebs is on hand to speak to about a personal plan to best meet your health goals.
