Unlock your potential

The Active Wellness Scheme aims to provide participants with the tools and resources that will empower them to make sustainable lifestyle changes that will allow them to unlock their full potential.

During the six week programme participants will have access to the following:

Up to 6 1-2-1 sessions with our Health & Fitness Coaches.
Free access to King’s Sport Gyms, the BeActive programme and Move Your Mind for 6 weeks.
Nutritional advice.
Mindfulness.
Wellbeing resources.

The coaches are really knowledgeable and help you work towards realistic goals- no matter how fit you are. It's really motivating to be able to clearly see how far you've come and the new things you've achieved.

1-2-1 Coaching (Online & In-person)

Physical activity has been proven to have a profound positive effect on general wellbeing and quality of life. Whether you have struggled with low mood, poor sleep and concentration, anxiety, stress or depression, have a short-term illness, or a chronic physical health problem, we aim to show you how to begin changing your lifestyle for the better.

Our King’s Sport coaches will provide you with simple, effective and personalised physical activity programmes and wellbeing support.

Your programme can be delivered both in-person at one of our gym sites, or online (Microsoft Teams) and may include gym programmes and/or home workouts, group exercise classes and/or online classes, step count goals, and much more!

The coaches can also provide support and advice on other lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep and managing stress through physical activity.

Active Wellness Scheme has provided me with a safe space to learn and be vulnerable in the process. I have gained valuable knowledge about physical fitness that I have successfully been able to use to improve and manage my mental health.
