The Exercise Referral Scheme is a project jointly managed by Everyone Active at Spelthorne and Sunbury Leisure Centres in partnership with Spelthorne's Leisure Services and Environmental Health Services.

This scheme allows local doctors to refer their patients to the Exercise Referral Officer for a course of exercise, in order to benefit their health.  The scheme has proven particularly beneficial for people with cardiac, respiratory, weight management, or general mobility conditions.

The exercise referral officer recommends a 10 week (two sessions a week) programme of exercise to suit each client, according to their health needs. There will be a review of the client's progress at five and 10 weeks. The scheme is subsidised to make it affordable.

If you are interested in the scheme you must contact your GP to ensure that you are suitable for an exercise programme. Your GP will then contact the Exercise Referral Officer at Spelthorne Leisure Centre on your behalf. The referral officer will then contact you to arrange a convenient appointment.

At Everyone Active you will find there is:
Taking part in moderate exercise for just 30 minutes a day on a regular basis can reduce the risk of heart disease, keep weight under control and enhance your health and well-being.

For further information about the scheme, contact the Exercise Referral Officer, at Spelthorne Leisure Centre on 01784 493493.
