Combined Exercise

The 8-week Healthy Weight Management course is most effective when combined with a suitable physical activity programme. Therefore the programme includes 16 activity vouchers to use during the 8 week programme, across a range of leisure services.

Lincs Inspire is very well positioned to offer you a wide variety of exercise options that are suited to you, and also provide a welcome social element to the programme, where you can meet like minded people.

Exercise options include:

  • Use of power-assisted therapy equipment in the Wellness Hub.
  • Gym sessions in any of our four gyms
  • Use of specialist adapted gym equipment at Grimsby Health & Wellbeing Centre
  • Swimming at any of our three pools
  • Exercise classes across any of our four leisure sites
  • Fitness sessions in the community, such as Tai Chi, Kurling and Low Impact Zumba

All of the options available to you will be discussed in your first classroom session.

This course started it all. I feel like a different person, and I can’t imagine going back to how I was before.

Gill

The course has given me the support and encouragement I needed, while also helping me become more mindful about my health and wellbeing. With the support of David and the Lincs Inspire team, I’ve lost 20lbs in just eight weeks and I feel much more confident about continuing my journey.

Samantha Vowls

David is incredibly supportive and makes every session fun and engaging while helping you build lasting lifestyle changes.

I lost 10kg in 12 months and have returned for a reset to keep me on track. It’s worth every penny, and I can’t recommend David highly enough.

Rachel Craven

I’ve successfully lost weight and thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course. I feel so much better in myself and David has been incredibly supportive throughout. I’m looking forward to continuing on the six-month plan.

Liz

I really enjoyed the course and found it incredibly helpful. David is fantastic – knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive throughout. I feel so much better, and I’ve lost nearly a stone in just eight weeks. I would definitely recommend this course

Staff played a key role and offered guidance, patience and a genuine welcome!

Joan

The course was very well explained for everyone. I have enjoyed it very much. David was an excellent speaker and teacher.

E Jhauas

The course has been very useful, and I would definitely recommend this course to other people in a heartbeat. I’ve done most diets – Weight Watchers and Slimming World – but I have a much clearer vision of what I need and can do with my day-to-day life

Wendy Plumpton

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to be lose weight. The course is full of information which helps educate to help with food, calories and exercise.

Lisa Topley

An informative, helpful course which opens the mind to challenge and probes lifestyle.

Amanda Riggall

I would never have started back swimming if I hadn’t started the course. It’s great value for money, providing the tools needed. Pleased with my 2.2kg weight loss. Digger is so enthusiastic and motivating through good and bad weeks. The lessons are at a pace, level and understanding to enable absorption and action!

Christine Wright

A very good experience, Digger was excellent in the way he presented the programme. He has made a big improvement in my attitude and the advice was very informative. Congratulations to Lincs Inspire for the experience and keep it up.

Ian Birkin

Overall the biggest impact the course this has had is not only on my weight, the inches lost or how I see food but my mental health. I’ve gone from being very pessimistic feeling defeated, miserable, having low self esteem and no confidence to now being very optimistic fully motivated, more confident and bursting with energy and finally feeling confident in my own body. My family and friends are amazed at my transformation and say I’m completely different person to who I was when I stepped through the door 12 weeks ago. This course has been a lifesaver for me and I’m now fully embracing and enjoying the new healthy lifestyle change & can’t wait too see what the future holds.

Laura Roberts

Just a quick thanks for everything you’ve done for Steve and myself. You have given us the knowledge & motivation we were both desperate for, for starting our healthier lifestyle. We both have health problems and basically wrote ourselves off, but by doing the weight management course with you, & the support & advice you’ve given us has given us the boost of “we can do it confidence” that we both needed.

Ann Barley

I feel much more positive and optimistic and that’s thanks to the course leader’s positive energy and non-judgmental character. Many Thanks.
