Cancer Rehab at The Abbey Stadium.
We are now taking referrals into this scheme.
If you are living with a Cancer diagnosis or are in remission then we can provide help and guidance on what type of physical activity will help you to improve your general health, making it easier for your body to deal with surgery and recover from treatment.
Price
For only £25.00 you will receive a 6-week programme, full PEAK gym membership (including classes, sports hall activities, track and pool).
During the 6-week programme your health trainer will help you to understand what activities you can do improve your health and more importantly what you shouldn't be doing! The aim is to give you the knowledge to continue your fitness journey anywhere.
At the end of the programme there will be a discussion around signposting, which includes many FREE or reasonable priced alternatives to the gym.
In Redditch we are lucky to have numerous parks that all have FREE fitness equipment installed, as well as many "community exercise classes" that are led by local instructors at a reasonable price.
A Cancer Rehab qualified exercise professional will:
Be able to give advice and guidance on what type of physical activity will help you to manage your symptoms, wherever you are on your journey. They will spend time with you looking at your current activity levels, your goals and any other considerations. They will design a programme that meets your needs and be there to help you along the way, with a weekly meeting if required.
If you do decide to join the gym the normal £20.00 joining fee will not be charged.
The monthly membership (no contract) of The Abbey Stadium is £36.00, this includes access to gym, Area7, classes, pool, sports hall, and track.

Female local resident said:
So happy that i undertook this programme and i will always be grateful to Martin for his support, advise and positive outlook on exercise which is really motivating. I definitely feel it has had a huge positive impact on my mental and physical health in the short time that I have been on the course. It should be prescribed as a standard part of cancer treatment. Thank you so much."
