You will be offered a number of one to one sessions which will last about half an hour each. In the sessions, you will have the opportunity to talk about your likes, dislikes and concerns about physical activity. The Physical Activity Advisors will aim to support you while you increase your physical activity and will always work to your pace. We are offering you the opportunity to participate in regular activity:
- With friendly one to one support
- Lead by fully qualified exercise professionals
- In your community
- That YOU want to do
There is a range of activities - from chair-based exercise and Pilates through to Nordic walking (click HERE to see more about Nordic walking) and circuit training.
A timetable of exercise classes is available on the Get Moving Nottingham website from this link:
