Overview
The Heart Health Group program runs for 12 months and is usually delivered in groups of approximately 10-15 eligible participants. Once a group of participants is brought together, the group meets at a designated health club, leisure centre or fitness facility for weekly activity sessions and monthly educational workshops.
Experienced health and fitness professionals provide the participants with a structured and supervised program designed to allow each participant to work at their own level and pace to develop positive lifestyle changes and healthy habits with exercise.
The Group Program includes:
Two Weekly Group Exercise Sessions delivered by a qualified and experienced health and fitness professional who is dedicated to your group.
One Monthly Health Education Workshop delivered at the same facility and by the same health and fitness professional, on topics such as setting healthy goals, nutrition and healthy eating, physical activity, chronic conditions, quitting smoking, responsible alcohol consumption, back care, stress management and maintaining a healthy heart.
A Participant Manual with 12 health education modules containing useful material and information to use for your learning during the program and as a reference after you have completed the program.
Custom Food Diary reviews and recommendations provided by a Nutritionist at various stages throughout the program with useful tips and ideas for improving your diet to assist in achieving your health goals.
Continued program support provided by the program’s providers, Corporate Health Management, and our dedicated team working to make your time in the program as beneficial as possible.
An Achievement Certificate is awarded once you have successfully completed the program and all requirements at the end of the 12 months.
