"Really enjoyed last class. Got me motivated to exercise as I probably wouldn't have done so on my own. I thought it was generally very good for my own wellbeing and got me meeting new people. Would love to join again."
"Hi just to say how much I enjoyed the Friday gym class. We got familiar with the machines and the weights we wouldn't have used on our own. Hope we can get some more classes."

The gym also offers a free 12 week health programme. GPs or other health professionals can refer people onto the Healthwise programmes aimed at encouraging a more active lifestyle for all. This programme within LORAG supports a wide variety of participants with varied conditions and fitness levels. This can mean coaches adapting exercise programmes to suit the individual giving one to one sessions and group class sessions.
Group classes such as strength and balance (falls prevention) help participants with mobility. The pulmonary maintenance group helps with breathing and daily activities. Chronic pain sessions, mixed activity social sports and older active classes help participants to stay fit and healthy.
