Let's Get Going - programme update

Posted 8th December 2021

Our next Let’s Get Going sessions begin in January.

Let’s Get Going is a supported group walking programme for anyone who is struggling to be active for any reason. It offers 10 weeks of gentle walking sessions, with a focus on ‘walk and talk’, in the company of others in a similar situation. The aim is to help participants feel more connected and supported to become more active. Sessions are suitable for all – men and women, and all abilities.

The next Let’s Get Going walks take place:

  • 9.30am Wednesdays starting 12 January from Warners Health Club & Physio
  • 6.30pm Wednesdays starting 12 January from Crafty Cat, Anlaby

Who is it for?

Let’s Get Going is a 10-week group walking programme for anyone who would like a little support to start being active. The gentle walking sessions are suitable for all abilities and fitness levels.

Participants need to be registered with a Hull GP or have a Hull postcode (this is a requirement of the programme funding). If you do not have a Hull GP or postcode but feel you would benefit from some supportive exercise sessions, please contact us on admin@fitmums.org.uk – we can help in other ways.

What will I get out of it?

Let's Get Going will provide you with a gentle introduction to being more active in a supportive group. The programme aims to help participants experience the mental and physical health benefits of being more active alongside other people in a similar position. We hope that, as happens at our other fitness sessions, friendships will be formed and that you will feel healthier and happier for participating.

Where and when are the walks?

The next Let’s Get Going walks take place:

  • 9.30am Wednesdays starting 12 January from Warners Health Club & Physio
  • 6.30pm Wednesdays starting 12 January from Crafty Cat, Anlaby

Who leads the sessions? Will I be able to keep up?

Our Let’s Get Going walks are led by trained walk leaders who will make sure that the group stays together and that no one is left behind or on their own. The walking sessions are easy-paced, with a focus on 'walk and talk' (rather than a workout) - so no need to worry!

How much does it cost?

This programme is free to participants. It also includes free membership of Fitmums & Friends (for the remainder of the membership year) so that you can continue to be active with others at your local club after the programme has finished. If you would like a little extra support to get started at your local club, we have lots of ways we can help with that – just ask us.

How can I take part?

To sign up, please contact our programme coordinator on together@fitmums.org.uk or complete this form. Participants can also be referred to the programme by a GP, another medical professional, a friend or a family member.

If you have any questions about the programme, please contact our programme coordinator on together@fitmums.org.uk.
