Understanding my mental health and wellbeing

This course is designed to get you moving and exercising more. It’s twice weekly for each learner, each session lasting one hour and will incorporate:-

After your induction, you’ll receive a bespoke exercise plan which is periodically reviewed.

You’ll receive: –

  • Gain an understanding of how the body responds to exercise
  • Develop an insight into the role of nutrition.

We’ll ensure the service we offer is sustainable and achievable in the community.  The gym at the Recovery College prides itself on empowering individuals; it builds people’s confidence and encourages learners to move on to attend local gyms/activities once the course sessions are complete.  We want individuals to have fun, build relationships and ascertain their own goals.  We support people to make positive changes for a healthier and happy future.

Each session is an hour long and these hour slots will be allocated upon enrolment.
