I Am... - Mid Devon Leisure

I am… not sure yet

Let’s have a look and see if we can help get you motivated and address some of the things that may be stopping you from taking that first step.

You may have some questions or concerns about getting started with exercise, for example:

“I’m nervous to go to the gym”

Whatever your concerns, our staff are here to support you.

Our highly qualified, supportive staff are here to take you through all our equipment to make sure you feel confident, and we are always here to help if you have any questions.

“I’m not fit enough to exercise in front of people”

There’s no such thing as being ‘fit enough’!

Everybody starts somewhere, and every single bit of movement helps. Besides, most people will be focusing on their own workouts, not on yours!

“I’m not sure what activity I’d like to do”

Not a problem.

We have a huge range of activities available across our centres, and we’re dedicated to helping you find one that suits you. Our highly qualified staff are on-hand to provide you with activity ideas, as well as fitness goals, help with technique, and more.

“I have a long-term health condition. Can I still get active?”

Absolutely!

Whilst it’s important to talk to your GP about getting moving, we also run a successful GP referral system, and have staff across our sites who are specially qualified to support customers with long-term health conditions of all kinds.

Let’s have a look at some of the benefits of exercise:

Improved overall health
Boosted immune system
Improved heart health
Lower likelihood of developing high blood pressure
Lower likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes
Strengthened bones
Improved mood
Improved sleep

Here are some handy tips and tricks to get help you get moving more.

Find an activity you enjoy.

There’s no point forcing yourself to go for a jog if you hate it – it won’t help your confidence or self-esteem, and you won’t be likely to want to do it again! Instead, search around for ways to move that you actually enjoy – it is possible! Our expert staff can help you find your perfect activity based on your goals and interests.

Set reminders.

If you keep forgetting to exercise, think of a time of day when you’re often free (maybe early morning, or perhaps when everyone else has gone to bed), and set an alarm to remind yourself to get moving.

Put your workout gear on.

It’s amazing how much this simple action can help you get in the right headspace to get moving. It’s the same effect as relaxing when you put your pyjamas on!

Think about the reasons why you’re changing your lifestyle.

Once you work out what motivates you, you can use it to keep powering you forward. Maybe one of these reasons relates to you:

to improve my health
to be a role model to my kids
to feel better about myself
to help my mobility

Whatever your motivation is, keep it on your mind and use it as much as you need to.

Our staff are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. We’re always on-hand to assist you with technique, specific goals, or whatever you may need some support with.
