Healthy Lifestyle Programme

Being healthy is a big part of being happy. A healthy lifestyle simply means the way you are day to day makes you feel physically and mentally fit and well. If your lifestyle is not  in a healthy balance - for instance through not exercising, eating an unbalanced diet, getting involved in drugs or by keeping worries and problems to yourself - you are more likely to become ill, have trouble concentrating at work or on studies, be unhappy or depressed.

Healthy lifestyle programme

Your lifestyle has a big effect on how you feel and what you get out of life, now and in the future. So it's a good idea find out more about how to live healthily. To encourage people to improve and change their lifestyle and habits we offer a healthy lifestyle programme. This package provides an opportunity for people to increase their awareness of how a balance of a healthy eating plan and a monitored physical activity programme can improve their health and fitness.

The Healthy Lifestyles Package involves an eight-week programme with your own lifestyle coach meeting you once a week.

During these eight weeks you should expect to:

  • Undergo a fitness assessment
  • Receive a personal fitness programme
  • Complete a food diary
  • Learn about different physical activities
