New Service To Boost Fitness

"A fantastic new service has been launched by Telford and Wrekin Primary Care Trust, the local health trainer service. Anyone over the age of 16, who lives in Telford and Wrekin, can have free, one-to-one, advice and support on making small lifestyle changes towards a healthier future. This might be about eating more healthily, becoming more active, cutting down or stopping smoking, drinking sensibly or managing and reducing stress levels. More details are available from 01952 686310 or healthtrainers@telfordpct.nhs.uk The UK’s first National Fitness Week will run from February 2-9, so now’s the time to start getting into shape. The week will see events, campaigns and promotions throughout the country as the health club group, Fitness First, masterminds the biggest campaign of its kind to get the country active. Gyms across Shropshire are enjoying their post-Christmas rush to the treadmill and there are noticeably more people running, cycling and walking. Now Fitness First wants to turn the often short-term January fitness fad into a year-long commitment to healthy living.”
