Cancer, wellbeing, & exercise

“iCan Beat It, iCan Be Fit” programme

We understand that exercise may be scary for some people. Our trained professionals are here to provide the support and guidance you need when starting an exercise programme.

Our programmes focus on three main elements:

Step 1: Getting to know you and what you want to achieve

Step 2: Devising personalised plans to achieve your goals (activity and nutrition)

Step 3: Putting the plan into action and achieving your goals

After Step 3, we work with you to either create new targets and goals or focus on maintaining what we have achieved.
