Active 4 Life/Aqua 4 Life

Initially Active 4 Life was a programme of land-based exercise classes developed specifically for those recovering from heart attack or cardiac surgery, however, the classes proved to be so effective and popular they now cater for a range of members wanting to exercise in the water, the gym or beginner level aerobics and pilates.

The Active 4 Life programme is ideal for anyone preparing for or recovering from surgery, the less fit, the very unfit and the ‘fit for my age’ groups.

Whilst many people are referred onto the programme by their doctor or health care practitioner, many self refer. Everyone attending has to attend an induction to ensure a basic health assessment is completed prior to starting their exercise programme. If we pick up any health problems we will always refer the individual back to their GP or practice nurse, but in nearly all of the cases the person will come back to us waving a referral form to indicate all is ok.

The range of activities on offer in the Active 4 Life programme includes circuits, supervised gym class, Fitness Pilates for posture and balance, low impact aerobics and tone, aqua and a water based back class for those experiencing problems exercising on dry land.

Active 4 Life, Aqua 4 Life and Aqua Back classes cost £3.30 for 3 and 4 Star members and £3.90 for non members. They are free for 5 Star and 3 Star monthly members. Click HERE for details on our membership schemes
