Fit for Life

​About Fit for Life

Fit for Life is a 12 week exercise programme that will work on improving your:

  • balance
  • strength
  • cardiovascular fitness
  • flexibility

We adapt each exercise to each individual and allow you to work at your own pace.

Referral to Fit for Life

There are different reasons why your General Practioner (GP) or other Health care professional might have been referred for an assessment. These can include: 

  • following a fall or due to risk of falls 
  • frailty or identified as at risk of frailty 
  • following discharge from hospital to improve general strength or mobility 
  • neurological long term conditions such as:
    • Stroke
    • Parkinson’s
    • Multiple Sclerosis
    • Traumatic Brain Injury

What to expect

Assessment is at Overdale and performed by a member of the Fit for Life team. During the assessment we will set goals with you, to determine which group you are most suitable for.

Once the class has been completed a member of the Fit for Life team will review the progress you have made. We will provide guidance to other exercise opportunities to help you remain active.

We will arrange a follow up appointment in 1 year to check on your activity levels and to track progress.

What to bring

You will need to bring the following to your class:

  • wear loose, light fitting clothing
  • flat confortable closed footwear
