National Exercise Referral Scheme

Hi,

Quick question... does anyone have any experience/knowledge of the exercise referral scheme due to their asthma? I'm hoping to get included on it, but don't know much about the scheme.

Thanks xxxx

I was referred to the gym by my Dr I paid a reduced rate for classes and swimming session £2 for a pilates for 3 months and then offered a cheap membership. I had an assessment firt to see what excersie was best suited etc. It was worth it saved me lots of money but couldnt use it to its full capacity!

hi- i was given this because i am overweight due to my thyroid not working. i didnt go and only acdcepted the forms as i didnt want to offend the gp nurse as she is good with me. there is no way i could go the way i am at the min. my asthma is terrible and even trying to walk a little faster makes me feel like death, my arthritis and siatica is awful and i also suffer from panic attacks if im not with my mother or daughter so no way i could go alone. i did read somewhere that the new government are getting rid of this together with the reduced price slimming classess.i hope that it isnt stopped as it would definately benefit some people..fingers crossed for you x
