About the Referral Programme

Exercise Referral Programme at Active Blackpool

At Active Blackpool, we are committed to helping as many people as possible to improve their health and wellbeing and lead more active lives.

We work with Blackpool’s GP’s and Health Practitioners to provide a safe and welcoming environment for people with long term health conditions to become more active.

Check out the below to learn more.

Regular physical activity can have a positive effect on not only your physical health, but your mental health as well.

It will help manage and control your existing conditions and can also help to prevent you from developing others.

Our 16 week Exercise Referral Scheme will help you introduce physical activity into your life in the most appropriate and sustainable way for you.

Our fabulous referral instructors will be there to advise and support you every step of the way.

Here's a bit more information about our Exercise Referral Programme.

Most people who live in Blackpool with long term health conditions or are at risk of developing them can be referred.

These conditions include:

  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Chronic pain
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Obesity
  • Osteoporosis

If you have a different health condition which is not on this list, you may still be eligible.  Speak to your GP, Physio or other health care practitioner

We do accept self referrals, there is a link to the form below.

Please be aware however,  if you have a medical condition, such as those listed above, we would need you to be referred by a health professional so we can ensure we have the relevant information on your conditions so we can support you correctly.

When we’ve received your referral, our team will contact you to invite you to a welcome session.

In this session one of our friendly and welcoming instructors will chat with you about your medical and physical activity history.

Together you’ll decide which of the different activities we have available will be the best place for you to start your journey with us.

All of the following are available to members on the scheme.

  • Gym
  • Active Wellbeing Suite
  • Exercise Classes
  • Swimming
  • Supported Gym Sessions
  • Supported Referral Classes
  • Specialist Referral Classes

Not everything might be right for you dependant on your medical history and the level of support you need.

We’ll find the best activities to get you started and keep you motivated as you continue your journey with us.

After your free welcome session, you can join us on a Direct Debit from £15 per month for the 16 weeks of the Exercise Referral Scheme.

You can also chose to pay £60 upfront or just pay for £3.00 per session you attend

After you graduate the programme after 16 weeks, you will be eligible for our Inclusive Concessionary Membership at just £19.99 a month.
