Activity Referral Scheme
The safe, supervised, and enjoyable introduction to physical activity for people who are not regular exercisers, or who have health problems.
How the Course works.
If you would like to be more active and you have one of the following medical conditions;Anxiety, Angina, Arthritis, Asthma, Depression, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Muscular Skeletal Injury, Obesity (over weight) or any similar condition.Ask your health professional if being active will help your condition. If the answer is yes they will fill in and sign a referral form for you. You will then be contacted by the Sports Centre to make an appointment at a mutually convenient time.
Your first visit.
We use your first visit to discuss your goals along with your medical and physical activity history. We find out about your likes and dislikes, and answer any questions you may have regarding the scheme. This information helps us to plan a suitable and enjoyable programme for you.

We will monitor your progress throughout the course to ensure that your activity continues to be enjoyable and varied, and that your objectives continue to develop.
We will also hold very informal discussions or question and answer sessions on various lifestyle issues such as; relaxation, healthy eating, alcohol, smoking and coping with stress. If you would like extra help on any of these issues please ask your instructor.
Your referral will be for a three month period, during this time you will be able to access the fitness suite, exercise classes and swimming pool as many times as you like. (Conditions apply)
Each session is fully supervised by an instructor (except swimming). You may feel a little unsure to start with, but relax and try to enjoy your sessions. You will soon get the hang of things and feel more confident.
