The benefits of exercise are well known. Our Exercise for Health Instructor will ensure your personal needs are met and advise you on how much activity you should aim for to benefit your health.
What is the Scheme about?
Doncaster's Exercise for Health Scheme is designed to help people improve their health and well-being by becoming more active. It is specifically for people who are referred by a health professional, GP, Practice Nurse or physiotherapist and who do not participate in regular physical activity.
Once you have been referred you will need to contact the centre for an appointment. Your 1st appointment will be in the form of a consultation which will last approximately 1 hour and does not involve any exercise. You are advised to bring your full referral pack and a passport sized photograph so the instructor can issue you with an ID card.
Activities Available
The range of activities available will depend on your individual health needs and your personal preference. They won't be too strenuous or over competitive and you will receive up to 50% discount on standard session prices.
