Our Exercise Referral scheme is a great way for people with long term health conditions to increase physical activity levels and improve health. At Everyone Active we want everyone to enjoy and maintain at least 30 minutes of physical activity, five times a week, as part of a healthy lifestyle.
The Exercise Referral scheme covers a wide range of health conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, overweight or obesity, depression or anxiety, osteoporosis among other conditions, all of which we can help you with.
To get started please speak to your local centre or Health Professional about being referred onto our scheme where you will be able to use a range of facilities with expert guidance and support.
