Active Lifestyles Exercise Referral Programmes Bromley

Provides exercise programmes for individuals referred by health professionals including GPs. Qualified exercise advisers provide structured sessions with individualised programmes.

The supervised sessions operate at leisure venues across the borough at various times. There is a choice of activities including gym based sessions, circuit training and walking.

Typical reasons for referral are anxiety and depression as well as asthma or respiratory problems, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, obesity and osteoporosis. There is a cost but the sessions operate at a subsidised rate and participants pay as they go. Active Lifestyles is a partnership between Bromley Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Bromley Mytime (a charitable trust that works with Bromley Council).

Its aim is to increase people's health through regular participation in physical activity. Access to the programmes requires a referral via GPs/practice nurses and some hospital departments. Alternatively please ring Active Lifestyles for further information.
