Healthy Lifestyle Service Walk Leeds

On Sunday the Healthy Lifestyle Service were at the launch of Walk Leeds, a walking festival that is running until Sunday 7 June. Tasha, a healthy lifestyle practitioner from the team recaps the event... 

"Thankfully the weather held out for us and didn't rain, which was a good start. The event was well attended and we got the opportunity to speak to over 100 people, some of which we referred on to use the Healthy Lifestyle Service. 

The Mayoress of Leeds, joined by Janet Street Porter, opened the event and then took part in a two mile brisk walk returning to collect packs, information and advice from Janine, one of the dieticians from Weigh Ahead, and myself.

People we spoke to said the service sounded great, particularly because of what we offer which includes 12 weeks of support, Bodyline Gym membership cards and LLGS sessions plus lots of motivation which people do struggle with. 

If you are needing some extra support or advice to improve your lifestyle, you can get in touch with the team by calling 0113 843 4537. We're available on the phone Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm but clinics run at various times. For example, we run an evening clinic at Armley Moor Health Centre, which you can drop in to."
