Get Active

Exercise Buddies

Getting active, for some can be essential 'me time'. For others it can seem daunting and be demotivating. If that latter applies to you the perfect way to combat this is to have a exercise buddy to meet with, keep you motivated and encourage you. Whether that's walking, gym, swimming or trying a new activity, it becomes easier when we have someone to talk and laugh away the time with. Therefore, we introduced serveral programmes to help you get started and Find Your Active at your pace: 

  • Walk 4 Wellness
  • Gym Buddies
  • Swim Buddies
  • Seat Yoga
  • Bowling

Open to all ages and abilities our Exercise Buddy programmes are there to help you thrive. Offering both one to one sessions, or join one of our small groups. Alternatively, if you have an idea, why not let us know! We want to help you Find Your Active!

Personal Challenges

Life can wizz by in a blink of an eye, and before we know it another year has passed us by with the normal day to day responsibilities. Having goals, working towards them and achieving them is great for our mental health. We feel uplifted and have created new, lasting memories and gain a sense of achievement. That is why since 2015 we have been running personal challenges. Over the years we have climbed Mount Snowdon, walked marathons, taken part in Parkrun, climbed over the 02, daringly taken part in Stubbers adventure days, some were crazy enough to jump out of a plane - we have done it all.

You can choose one or two a year events over the year, or you can opt for all 12! The brave who complete all 12, gain our Personal Challenge Passport and join ourwall of fame! 

To join our Personal Challenges please email active@motivated-minds.co.uk and further details will be sent to you. Also, don't forget to join our Healthier You Facebook Group to share your active journey andfor support.
