The Exercise on Referral project begins with a personal, one to one, welcome chat between the client and a member of the Health and Wellbeing team. Our coaches will work with clients to design specific exercise programmes that meet their health needs, requirements and goals.
The 12-week funded Exercise on Referral programme will include access to our Open Gym and classes at Shrewsbury Town FC Foundation, as well as the opportunity to participate in a variety of other Health and Wellbeing sessions, such as, Extra Time Hub, Walk & Talk, and Walking Football.
