YMCA East Surrey Exercise Referral

YMCA East Surrey’s Exercise Referral programme enables people with chronic health conditions or disability or who are rehabilitating from an injury or illness to engage in physical activity and lead a healthier, independent, more active lifestyle. 

 It can help you:

• manage weight and weight loss
• strengthen bones and muscles
• regulate blood pressure
• improve respiratory function
• maintain or improve mobility and flexibility
• reduce sedentary behaviour

It can also prevent or manage:

• cardiovascular disease
• type 2 diabetes
• cholesterol
• the risk of falling as an older adult

YMCA East Surrey is qualified to work with and recommends exercise to people who are 16 to 90 years old. As Exercise Referral is a specific intervention, referrals must be authorised by GPs, primary care practitioners and hospital staff.
