Most people would agree that physical activity is good for you; however, the majority of us don't do enough to improve our health and some of us don't do anything at all.

Available through your GP or Healthcare Professional, this programme aims to provide you with the support and advice you need to exercise safely and appropriately.  You will learn new skills such as how to listen to your body and exercise at a pace which is comfortable for your condition.

The Tuxford Family Fitness Sessions offer the opportunity for families to exercise together. Come along and take part in the beginner and intermediate fitness sessions and take advantage of the free multi sports sessions for the children.

Sessions take place on Mondays (term time only) from 6pm to 7pm. Cost is 3.50 per adult and children attend for free.

Please note: Children exercising must be accompanied by an adult participating in the fitness class.
