I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS TO GET STARTED

You may have some questions or concerns about getting started with exercise, for example:

Whatever your concerns, our staff are here to support you.

Our highly qualified, supportive staff are here to take you through all our equipment to make sure you feel confident, and we are always here to help if you have any questions.

There’s no such thing as being ‘fit enough’!

Everybody starts somewhere, and every single bit of movement helps. Besides, most people will be focusing on their own workouts, not on yours!

Not a problem.

We have a huge range of activities available across our centres, and we’re dedicated to helping you find one that suits you. Our highly qualified staff are on-hand to provide you with activity ideas, as well as fitness goals, help with technique, and more.

Absolutely!

Whilst it’s important to talk to your GP about getting moving, we also run a successful GP referral system, and have staff across our sites who are specially qualified to support customers with long-term health conditions of all kinds.

THERE ARE LOTS OF BENEFITS TO REGULAR EXERCISE. SOME OF THESE INCLUDE:

  • IMPROVED OVERALL HEALTH

  • BOOSTED IMMUNE SYSTEM

  • IMPROVED HEART HEALTH

  • LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

  • LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPING TYPE 2 DIABETES

  • STRENGTHENED BONES

  • IMPROVED MOOD

  • IMPROVED SLEEP

You know you should exercise and you want too, but you may find it difficult to motivate yourself and turn exercise into a good, healthy habit.
Find some of our tips below to help get you started and keep you moving:

There’s no point forcing yourself to go for a jog if you hate it – it won’t help your confidence or self-esteem, and you won’t be likely to want to do it again! Instead, search around for ways to move that you actually enjoy – it is possible! Our expert staff can help you find your perfect activity based on your goals and interests.

If you keep forgetting to exercise, think of a time of day when you’re often free (maybe early morning, or perhaps when everyone else has gone to bed), and set an alarm to remind yourself to get moving.

It’s amazing how much this simple action can help you get in the right headspace to get moving. It’s the same effect as relaxing when you put your pyjamas on!

Once you work out what motivates you, you can use it to keep powering you forward. Maybe one of these reasons relates to you:

To improve my health
To be a role model to my kids
To feel better about myself
To help my mobility

Whatever your motivation is, keep it on your mind and use it as much as you need to.

Our staff are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. We’re always on-hand to assist you with technique, specific goals, or whatever you may need some support with.
