Exercise Referral

Exercise referral support in Didsbury.

As an experienced exercise referral specialist, I work with people managing health conditions or returning to exercise after a break. Training happens one-to-one in a private studio on The Kingsway.

A daunting starting point

Being told you should be more active can feel daunting — especially if exercise isn't something you've done for years, or if you've had a health scare.

Made straightforward

You get my full attention in a private studio, with no crowds, no waiting for equipment and no being watched.

Planned around you

Every session is planned for you and adapted to your individual circumstances, abilities and goals. We only move on when you're ready.

Who I can help

Support for a wide range of health conditions.

These include:

Heart and cardiovascular health

High blood pressure, high cholesterol and stable cardiovascular conditions.

Weight management and obesity

Improving fitness, strength and general health.

Diabetes and metabolic health

Including type 2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions.

Respiratory conditions

Including asthma and stable respiratory conditions such as COPD.

Joint, muscle and bone conditions

Including arthritis, osteoporosis, lower back pain and mobility limitations.

Mental health and wellbeing

Including stress, anxiety and depression.

Who it's for

Where you're starting from.

Managing a health condition

Training that's careful and consistent, with your health situation taken into account throughout.

Returning after illness or injury

A gradual, confidence-building return to movement, at a pace that suits you.

Advised to become more active

If a healthcare professional has suggested exercise, I can help you follow through safely.

New to exercise

Never trained before, or it's been a long time? We start gently and build from there.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Tell me what's been suggested

Share any advice or referral you've been given, along with your goals and concerns.

We agree a starting point

A relaxed chat and a gentle first session to see where you're comfortable beginning.

Build gradually

Sessions progress at your pace, with clear reasoning behind every step.

Where appropriate, medical clearance or guidance from your healthcare professional may be required before starting.
