"Physical activity not only contributes to well-being, but is also essential for good health. People who are physically active reduce their risk of developing major chronic diseases - such as coronary heart disease, stroke & type 2 diabetes - by up to 50%, & risk of premature death by about 20-30%" Chief Medical Officer - Department of Health

The Scheme
An Exercise Referral scheme with GP's & Health Clinics can bridge the gap between the exercise & healthcare sectors - the two professions of course complement each other in improving health in the community & reducing the burden on the NHS long term. The intention is to provide a personal training service at a discounted rate for people who are referred to Full Body Fit from the health service, who will then work with the clinic accordingly.

The Benefits
Many patients who attend clinics on a regular basis or who are on long term medication are unlikely to attend a leisure facility & may require individual exercise prescription or one to one encouragement. An exercise referral scheme monitored by healthcare practitioners & undertaken in the comfort of the patient’s home with a qualified trainer, could be more successful at creating a safer, more effective & enjoyable experience. The health benefits of regular physical activity are evident and the aim of this is to achieve self-sustaining activity levels long term.
