Get Active Exercise Referral Programme giving hundreds a new lease of life

Harpers Fitness has been working in partnership with NHS organisations and Primary Care Trusts up and down the country to develop and deliver Exercise Referral Programmes for eligible patients within the community.

Get Active Exercise Referral sessions vary, but they typically include Harpers Gym based sessions - circuit classes and aqua fit sessions, all supervised by fully trained and qualified Harpers Fitness staff.

When referral clients complete their individual supervised programme with the Get Active Team, which can be up to 12 months of support provision, they are eligible for a special discounted Harpers membership which encourages clients to continue with their independent exercise programme long term.

GPs and other health professionals are being encouraged to refer patients who are at risk or who are suffering from illnesses and conditions that may be improved by regular exercise such as mild depression, diabetes, obesity and even those who are giving up smoking.

The scheme is growing significantly and is an excellent example of partnership working between Harpers Fitness, the council and the health sector. To find out more ask about the GP Referral scheme running at your Harpers.
