Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health as it helps lower your risk of heart disease, stroke and certain cancers. Small, realistic changes to your diet can have an important positive effect. And doing a little more exercise can help too.

Reduce the risk

Steady weight loss

Research has shown that those people who lose weight slowly and steadily e.g. 1-2 pounds a week, are much more likely to keep it off

Our weight management programme

Our 10 week adult weight management service is specifically aimed to help men and women with a (1) BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or over or (2) a BMI of 25 or above with a medical condition, to lose weight.

These 10 week, community based programmes are designed to reflect the different needs of men and women, promoting healthy eating and an increase in physical activity to facilitate weight loss.

If you are not sure what your Current BMI use our BMI checker below:

I’ve tried losing weight before

Each weekly session delivers a 60 minute hands-on workshop, focusing on making healthy sustainable lifestyle changes. These include our famous “Store Tour” and “Cook and Eat” sessions, which have proven to be a big hit with our previous clients.

This is followed by 30 minutes of fun and engaging physical activity sessions, from heart pumping dance aerobics to body sculpting core stability!
