Tiktok star visits UK care homes to boost residents’ physical and mental wellbeing

Last week, popular fitness TikTok influencer, Bailey Greetham, visited Wilmslow-based Hazelmere House Bupa Care Home, to get residents moving.

Residents welcomed Bailey into their home and were delighted by the visit, learning about his career, and founding Be Great Fitness at the age of 17.

The visit saw residents chatting and laughing with Bailey, before participating in one of his physical activity classes. Residents enjoyed learning new exercises, such as using a resistance band for strength and mobility.

Resident at Hazelmere House, Hazel Merry, commented: “Bailey made exercising fun, and allowed everyone to work within their own capabilities, which is important when working in a group. We all had a great time.”

Bailey Greetham added: “It’s a privilege to host and be part of the joy and energy these sessions bring to residents. Exercise is more than just movement; it’s a way to connect, inspire, and enhance wellbeing at any age. I’m excited to keep building this partnership with Bupa and look forward to making a positive impact in care homes nationwide over the coming year.”

As part of his new partnership with Bupa, Bailey took to the road and visited 12 Bupa Care Homes across the UK, running fitness activities and classes to boost residents overall wellbeing.

Activities Co-ordinator at Hazelmere House Bupa Care Home, Diane Burton, said: “We are so proud of our partnership with Bailey, he was a delight to have in our home. The residents especially loved his visit. Bailey brightens everyone’s day and motivates them to stay active, even after he leaves, which is really important to us here at Hazelmere House.”
