The Think Active scheme offered by Everyone Active is a great way for people with long term health conditions to increase their physical activity levels and therefore improve health.
This is a 12 week bespoke Physical Activity programme delivered by their trained Physical Activity Specialists at local leisure providers to increase physical activity, strength and balance and create a programme designed especially for you and your needs.
Eligibility Criteria
The scheme is aimed at inactive adults, 16 years and over with a low or moderate risk long-term condition.
If patients have been regularly active for more than three months, two or more times a week, they will not be accepted onto the scheme. They may, however, be recommended alternative membership options.
What does the Exercise Referral scheme involve?
At an initial appointment the Exercise Referral instructor will find out what is important to the individual 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.
Activities vary at each centre but may include:
- Walking Sports or groups
- Chair based exercise
- Swimming
- Group exercise classes
- Water based activities like Aqua Fit
- Gym-based exercise
To be referred to this service please request it from your clinician or one of our Health & Wellbeing coaches.
PLEASE NOTE: This scheme is not currently offered at the local Atherstone Leisure Centre but is available at Nuneaton gyms.
