What does the GP Exercise Referral Scheme involve?

Our GP Exercise Referral instructor will find out what is important to your patient and help them to find activities that they will enjoy! A 6- and 12-week review will enable the instructor to support the individual through their first 12 weeks to a healthier lifestyle. Patients will benefit from 25% off a monthly membership or can pay per session.

Activities vary at each centre but may include:
• Walking sports or led walks
• Group exercise classes such as chair-based exercise
• Casual swimming or water-based activities such as Aqua
• Gym based exercise
• Social groups including coffee mornings for increased peer support
• Condition specific activities such as Good Boost technology or Escape Pain for MSK conditions. Find out more about Good Boost here. Find out more about Escape Pain here.
