Passport to Health Scheme Information

Passport to Health

What is Passport to Health?

Passport to Health is an exciting referral scheme based at 4 leisure sites in Bath, Midsomer Norton, Writhlington and Keynsham. It aims to help you take ownership of your health by encouraging you to participate in regular physical activity and healthy eating as a prescribed treatment alongside, or as an alternative to, any traditional medical approaches. We also hope to inform you about what makes a healthy lifestyle and support you in making your lifestyle changes.

Referral to the scheme enables you to meet with our friendly Active Lifestyles Co-ordinator or Referral Consultant to discuss your health goals and develop an activity plan.

From here you will be entitled access to:

  • supervised gym sessions
  • weekly exercise classes
  • Swimming
  • Health walks
  • Racquet sports
  • Golf 

All the above activities will be available for around £2.00 per session.

During your twelve weeks on the scheme, you will have regular progress appointments to help sustain your motivation levels.

You will also be invited to attend the Motivational Lifestyle Programme, designed to help you on your way to planning and making your healthy lifestyle changes.

The Motivational Lifestyle Programme sessions will be completely free of charge!
