Looking After Myself
OUR GYM COURSE IS CURRENTLY ON PAUSE FOR THE MOMENT – WATCH THIS SPACE – WE’LL BE BACK SOON!
Exercise can improve quality of life, help to manage stress, encourage us to feel better about ourselves, and reduce the risk of serious health conditions.
At the Recovery and Wellbeing College, we have a small but fully equipped gym with exercise specialists who can kickstart your journey to moving more.
Over this 12-week course, you will undertake an induction where you will receive a bespoke exercise plan. Sessions will be twice weekly, with each session lasting one hour, and incorporating:
- How to perform exercise safely and correctly.
- Nutrition awareness.
- Anatomy and physiology.
- Advice on how to become more active.
- Home exercise techniques.
The Gym prides itself in empowering individuals, building their confidence, and encouraging people to move on to other physical activity opportunities in the local area, after the course is complete.
