Exercise Referral Scheme and Cardiac Rehabilitation
Regular physical activity can help us to improve or better manage long term health conditions with the correct guidance and support. As explained by the National Institute of Aging, “You can still exercise even if you have a health condition like heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, high blood pressure, or diabetes. In fact, physical activity may help.”
L Leisure operate an exercise referral scheme across Kimberley Gym & Swim, Bramcote Leisure Centre and Chilwell Olympia to support people with complex health needs, low level ill-mental health and cardiac issues to improve and better manage their health and wellbeing.
The exercise referral scheme is an all inclusive membership with access to the gym, classes, swimming and spa at Bramcote Leisure Centre, Kimberley Gym & Swim and Chilwell Olympia for a discounted rate of £17.95 per month. All clients on this scheme receive extra support and guidance with tours, personalised gym plans, regular ongoing communication and weekly gym sessions supported by an exercise referral instructor.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a monitored scheme over multiple months where you will work 1-2-1 with a specialised instructor to exercise safely and once completed it can be used as an all inclusive membership. There are cardiac rehabilitation specific sessions weekly at Kimberley Gym & Swim and Chilwell Olympia.
To be eligible for the scheme, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be overweight or have an underlying health condition or have low level ill-mental health
- Be physically inactive
- Not have a current or previously had a membership with L Leisure in the past 3 months
- Live within close proximity to one of our leisure centres
You can be referred into the scheme via your GP or local prescribing team.
