Val Edge Fitness is a warm, community-spirited exercise course born out of the Covid pandemic — created to keep a group of ladies in the north of England connected with one another and their beloved exercise instructor, Val Edge.

Developed in collaboration with Oxford University Innovation and supported by Val's family (an MIT Fellow and a physiotherapist), these 10 gentle stretch and movement sessions are set to music and filmed in Val's living room — so you'll feel just like you're in your local village hall.

If you're looking for a like-minded community, some gentle exercise, and a warm sense of togetherness wherever you are in the world, come and join Val and her ladies. Includes 10 on-demand video lessons with lifetime access.

This course is a little different from many of our courses at Learning with Experts. It’s brought to you following the global Covid outbreak, to help unite a community of ladies in the north of England, who needed to keep in touch with one another, and their amazing exercise instructor, Val Edge. Val came to us via her son John Edge (a Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology Fellow) and her daughter Karen (a physiotherapist), and in collaboration with Oxford University Innovation.

During these 10 lessons you’ll get to meet people, and do gentle stretches along to music, taught by Val, and get to know the community as it reaches beyond the boundaries of Blackburn.

Join Val and her ladies, in Val’s living room. You’ll feel just like you’re doing your exercise class in your village hall, and can join in wherever you are in the world.

If you’re looking for a like-minded community of people who are keen to try and keep their energy levels up, would like to take part in some gentle exercise, but don’t want to be doing it by yourself, join Val and her students to help keep your spirits up wherever you are in the world.

Portrait of Val Edge

Val teaches from her living room at home in the north of England. She first started teaching keep fit when she was 21, she considers herself to be fortunate to teach classes locally, having got started over 40 years ago. Tragically Val’s husband Graham was killed in a road accident in 1995, but her amazing family and friends and neighbours helped her keep going. Fit and healthy, Val now aims to give back to her community, helping others to get through their own struggles by creating strong community of enthusiastic people, who want to keep moving and keep spirits lifted. Val has incredible energy and believes we’re all on a journey, and we continue to learn throughout life. “I knew I couldn’t let my ladies down. And here I am sharing my skills and knowledge all over the world”

Common Questions

Answers to the most common questions about learning with us.

Our online classroom is designed to help you learn from experts in a collaborative, social environment alongside a small group of learners.

Each lesson combines expert-led videos with optional assignments, giving you the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and share your work with others. You can take part in ongoing discussions, ask questions, exchange feedback, and learn from a community of like-minded people from around the world.

By learning together in a small, supportive group, you benefit not only from expert guidance but also from shared ideas, perspectives, and experiences—helping you stay engaged and retain what you learn.

You can start your course at any time within 12 months of purchase. Once you begin, you’ll have lifetime access, so you can revisit lesson videos and notes whenever you like.

Courses are designed to fit around your schedule, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Each lesson video is typically 30–40 minutes, and we recommend around an hour for each assignment.

Both Peer and Expert options give you full access to the course content, including lesson videos, downloadable notes, assignments, and a collaborative online classroom with up to 20 learners. You’ll also have lifetime access to revisit the material at any time.

The Expert option includes everything in Peer, plus personalised assignment feedback, direct messaging with your expert tutor, and a certificate of completion.

With the Expert option, you can interact directly with your tutor throughout the course. You’ll typically have one week per lesson to ask questions and receive feedback on your assignments, with as much interaction as you need during that time.

Your tutor access begins when you enter the classroom and follows the course schedule (for example, a four-lesson course usually runs over four weeks). If you need more time or support, our team is here to help.
