Just Move Active Wellbeing

Just Move
Gym, Swim & Classes
We offer four fantastic sports centres across the Borough, which include fully equipped gyms, swimming pools in 3 locations, a wide variety of fitness classes, and so much more, available to all ages and abilities. In addition to this, Lynnsport is now recognised as a leading specialist Wellness centre!
Our dedicated and friendly team are on hand to support you in making healthier lifestyle choices and supporting you with physical activity to improve their health and wellbeing.
The scheme has 2 pathways:
- The Proactive Pathway: with the aim of tackling potential health problems before they arise, reducing the burden on the NHS, for a number of lifestyle related conditions which physical activity may prevent. A heath professional can refer anyone who is not meeting the Chief Medical Officers recommendations for physical activity of 150 minutes per week. This can include those who are in generally good health, have hereditary risk factors, or simply those whose health and wellbeing will be enhanced through physical activity.
- The Reactive Pathway: offering a longer-term scheme where we work with an individual for a minimum of 12 months, although a commitment to it becoming an ongoing part of their lifestyle is the end result. Any medical condition that it is considered to potentially benefit from activity and a change in lifestyle can be used as a means to be referred by any of our referral partners.
Our Just Move memberships provide:
- Gym
- Biocircuit (at Lynnsport)
- InBody Assessments & Health Checks
- Swimming & Fitness Class (with the PLUS membership)
