TikTok star visits Scunthorpe care homes for fitness fun

TikTok star Bailey Greetham has visited two care homes in Scunthorpe to kick off a year-long partnership to help residents get active.

Edmund House and Sandhills Court Bupa Care Homes recently welcomed the social media sensation, where he hosted exercise classes to aid mobility, stimulate memory and boost overall morale.

Resident of Edmund House, Gwen, who recently starred in one of Bailey’s viral TikToks, said: “I had a fantastic time when Bailey came to see us. He is a lovely young man, full of energy. I hope he comes again soon.”

Bailey founded Be Great Fitness at age 17 during the Covid-19 pandemic, after he found exercise and fitness to be an instrumental help with his own mental health struggles. The company provides inclusive exercise classes, both online and in person, tailored to care homes and senior communities across the UK. Since then, he has rose to fame on social media, posting videos of his visits to care homes.

His trip to Edmund House and Sandhills Court is the start of a 12-month partnership with Bupa, which will see Bailey visiting care homes across the country to deliver unique activity sessions for residents.

Rebecca Pearson, General Manager of Bupa Care Services, said: “Bailey’s innovative approach is reshaping the way fitness is integrated into elderly care and together we’re making it possible for Bupa residents across the country to access top-quality exercise and wellness programmes, helping them live longer, healthier, and happier lives.”

Bailey Greetham commented: “It’s a privilege to witness 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.”
