💭 "It pulls you back from the depths." That’s how Dave described his experience after starting . Taking the first step can feel daunting, but many people find those initial sessions far more welcoming and supportive than they expected.

To help ease any worries, we’ve included plenty of useful information and practical advice on our website about what your first session will look like.

💛 "It's the attitude it gives you towards your own mental health." As Craig admits, he didn't have any great expectations when he signed up to the free NHS health and wellbeing service...and we'd like to think he was pleasantly surprised by both the physical and mental benefits of attending our sessions.

💛 "It makes me feel very positive."

Many of our patients agree that attending their regular exercise session is a highlight of their week, a positive experience when they connect with people in a similar situation and make new friends, all whilst improving their physical and mental fitness.
