Qualified health coach Steve Grantham is supporting a group of rural doctors’ surgeries near Ashford to help improve the wellbeing of patients and staff.
It is an initiative with the local Primary Care Network where surgeries can work together to deliver extra services.
Welcome! We're so pleased you are here!
Our inclusive and fun Health Coaching Groups are based at the GP surgery. Together over the course of 10 weeks we will support and empower your to take charge of your health.
Whatever your reason for wanting to make a change, Health Coaching can help you to understand yourself better, set a path to good health and most importantly immerse yourself in a community of like minded/positive people who share your success as if it is their own.
People of all levels of fitness, all ages, shape and sizes are welcome. You might not have exercised in years or you may struggle with social settings. Just know, we are here where you feel ready, there is no pressure or judgement, just support and fun.
This course has been funded by the GP Surgery, provided to patients FREE. They recognise the importance of community, exercise and friendship. This is an important investment in YOU and it is therefore important that you are willing to commit for the 10 weeks of our couch-2-5k program. Ideally attending all sessions.
We ALL start as BEGINNERS!
Our courses are about more than just “Losing weight” or “Getting Fit”. It’s about carving out a bit of time for yourself, following a structured program and experiencing the positivity of community. The health benefits of running/exercising regularly cannot be over stated.
Our program is designed with inclusivity in mind, so we can support as many people to make a positive change to their mental and physical wellbeing.
It doesn’t matter if you are overweight, unfit, an older person, anxious, stressed, depressed, lonely and more, you are all are welcome!
Whatever your reason for feeling that now is the time for you to take charge of your health. You can be sure that you won’t be judged. We will support and encourage you every step of the way!
What To Expect!
On day one you will be welcomed by our Health Coach, who will put you at ease straight away. You will be joined by the rest of the group who all are all beginners, starting something new just like you!
Weeks 1 - 4
Are spent in the “cone zone” a safe area where we run laps working on pace, technique but most importantly having fun. Week 1 is just 1 min run and 1.30sec walk repeated 8x. Easy 😀, we just build from there.
Weeks 5 - 9
We start to run locally, still using intervals and having fun. Through health coaching support, team work and our expert training you will be chasing down your health goals.
Until week 10……Ah Graduation Week…see below 👇
GRADUATION!
Week 10 is FANTASTIC! All the hard work, sweat and lifestyle changes come together for a very emotional run. Together as the team you undoubtedly have become, you will support and encourage each other around a 5k route. Completing the transformation into a “Runner”!
We then have a celebration of your health and 5k achievement with certificates and a little chat about how to maintain this new found life skill.
After Graduation
All good things come to an end, and by this point you have learned the basics of running, made friends and hopefully love how you feel. Through health coaching hopefully you will find yourself in a more positive mindset and the next challenge will be maintaining your progress, which is often the hardest part.
Our partner organisation Beginners2Runners is gifting all graduates a 1 month free membership at Beginners2Runners who have over 23 community running clubs in the South East.
