Participation will be subject to completion of a short health screening form to ensure safety to participate from a health perspective (if you are unsure, please check with your doctor in advance of the first session – this will be an adapted and gradual programme).
 
If you answered yes to any of the screening questions, talk with your doctor BEFORE you become physically active. Tell your doctor of your intention to exercise and which questions you answered ‘yes’ to. If at any stage your health changes, resulting in a ‘yes’ answer to any of the screening questions, please seek guidance from a GP.
