How to join
If you’d like to join our classes, you’ll need to complete one of the following referral forms.
Phase 4 Referral Request Form – use this form if you are nearing the end of your Phase 3 hospital-based cardiac rehab programme, or if you’ve completed it within the past 6 months.
GP Practice Referral Form – ask your GP or other health professional to complete this form if you finished Phase 3 more than 6 months ago.
Self-Referral Form – please use this form if neither of the above apply, or if you’re a partner, friend or relative of someone with a heart condition and wish to join them at our classes.
Cost
We aim to make long-term cardiac rehab exercise as affordable as possible, so we subsidise the cost of our classes through fundraising, donations and grants. Currently this allows us to keep the cost at £5 per class for members, or £6 for non-members. Membership costs £10 a year and you can download the application form here.
More than just exercise
Living with a heart problem can have a big physical and emotional impact. Feeling anxious or isolated is not unusual, but at our classes you’ll have the support of expert instructors and members who’ve been through similar experiences. Many members say how important this support and camaraderie is to their recovery and ongoing wellbeing.
Partners are welcome
We welcome partners, other family members or friends at our classes. In fact making a commitment to exercise together can work really well, as you can motivate each other. But to take part, they’ll need to complete our Self-Referral Form.
