HealthWise Scheme
Momentum Fitness runs the HealthWise Scheme at both centres. The scheme enables participating local GP's, nutritionists, physiotherapists and specialist nurses to prescribe exercise to patients who they think will benefit from supervised physical activity. Our centres have staff who have successfully completed the rigorous Gayton Training, enabling them to advise those with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity with suitable exercise programmes.
If you think you may benefit from physical exercise ask your health specialist about the scheme. The scheme is run by the Ulster Hospital and Community Trust and Ards Borough Council.
Angela White, "I joined Momentum having completed the HealthWise Scheme following rehabilitation for a heart by-pass and a hysterectomy. I was a bit apprehensive at the start, but the staff were so supportive, approachable and friendly I needn't have worried. They are also very knowledgeable regards exercise for people like me who have a problematic medical history. I'm very glad the scheme is available, I have certainly benefitted".
