The Fitness 4 Health exercise referral scheme helps people to make regular activity part of a new healthier lifestyle. Patients are referred by a health practitioner to improve their health through an individually tailored fitness programme over a 12 week course.

Conditions that benefit from exercise include obesity, arthritis, high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and depression.

How can I join a course?

If you think this scheme's for you discuss it with your GP or health practitioner and they can complete a referral form for you.

How much will it cost?

The 12 week course costs £66 (£2.75 per session). Initial and final assessments cost £6.80 each. The costs are subsidised by NHS Cambridgeshire and South Cambridgeshire District Council.
