NEW START GYM SESSIONS INFORMATION LEAFLET FOR PATIENTS
Thank you for expressing an interest in attending exclusive gym sessions.
Please take this leaflet with the ‘Exercise for health referral form’ from your
GP to either of the two gyms supporting this programme.
Your GP feels that you would benefit from attending an exclusive gym session for
people who are struggling with their weight and are put off attending the gym
because of feeling self-conscious, shy, or maybe worry about being too unfit to
exercise.
These sessions are for small groups of people, with a high degree of privacy from
the rest of the sports centre.
These sessions are free and only referred patients can attend them (no family or
friends can join you, sorry).
The sessions are aimed at supporting you to start exercising safely in a gym
environment.
There may also be an occasional dance/exercise session instead of a gym session
available at the Garston site if the group prefers.
There are two sports centres running these sessions and their addresses and
opening times for the sessions are as follows:
Lifestyles Garston
Long Lane, Garston, Liverpool, L19 6PE
3-5pm on Monday
Buses passing: 80, 80A, 266, 288 (stopping close by 166,188)
www.liverpool.gov.uk/lifestyles/find-a-centre/garston/
Jubilee Sports Bank,
Jubilee Drive, Liverpool, L7 8SJ
5pm-6pm on Tuesday and Thursday
Buses stopping close by: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10A

This is a new scheme which is funded until June 2014. We are hoping that if it is
popular we can extend it thereafter. This referral only allows you to attend these
specialist sessions but you may wish to join the sports centres for additional options.
We are hoping you enjoy this experience and if you have any feedback email
