03 September 2010The Get S.O.R.T.ed team is out and about this July providing residents with a wealth of free advice and information to help them get back into shape.
The first steps to get back into an exercise routine or follow a healthier diet can be tough. However, with the right information at their fingertips, the Get S.O.R.T.ed team can help find something for everyone to enjoy, get motivated and crucially to get started.
Free ‘one stop shops’ are available for adults that provide individual help on anything to do with exercise and healthier eating. There is no need to book, just turn up and have a chat to one of the team.
They can even call back a few weeks later to provide further support and encouragement! And all this is free!
