Places Leisure Epping Forest - Exercise Referral

Our Exercise Referral programme is the ideal opportunity to introduce physical activity to individuals with long-term health conditions in a safe and welcoming environment, enhance their overall health and well-being, and provide a foundation for long-term behaviour change. This is a 12-week programme that provides expert guidance from qualified instructors; personalised health programme; discounted membership (£35 a month); unlimited access to the gym, pool, and drop-in sessions.

Engaging in regular physical activity can positively impact weight management, mental well-being, muscle and joint functions, and heart health. It not only helps manage existing conditions but also serves as a preventive measure against other health complications. 

Our programme offers 12 weeks of tailored content designed to empower people to self-manage their conditions with increased confidence, and continue their exercise journey in the future.

What is included? Expert guidance from qualified instructors; personalised health programme; discounted membership; unlimited access to the gym, pool, and drop-in sessions.
