As part of a broader drive to reduce pressure on NHS services, we're offering a supervised, high-quality exercise programme designed specifically for individuals living with – or at risk of – long-term health conditions.

This fully tailored programme begins with a comprehensive health check. Qualified coaches then create and deliver personalised exercise plans based on each individual’s medical history, physical ability, and personal preferences. These exercise activities may include: gym - based exercise, group exercise classes, swimming or sports sessions.
