Body Benefits at The Parks Sports Centre

A 12 week Body Benefits programme is running from The Parks Sports Centre in North Shields from Thursday 11 January until Thursday 28 March 2024, 10am-12pm.  

Body Benefits is a weekly programme where like-minded people come together to discuss and learn with professionals. The topics on the table include what good nutrition looks like, the benefit of a healthy diet and weight, and how and why you should add physical activity to your lifestyle.

Each week the session will be split into two parts. The first part of the session covers topics like:

  • food labels

  • mindful eating

  • fats and sugars and much more…..

The second part focusses on helping everyone to get moving and introduce new ways of being physically active (don’t worry though professionals will be on hand and it will all be at a pace you’re comfortable with!)

Body Benefits is designed to help people who haven’t exercised for a while or those who aren’t used to being active but want to change their habits.

As part of the programme the team will measure your height and weight at week one and week 12 – but this programme is not about the scales. It is about Body Benefits - for good health and more importantly good mental wellbeing. Your weight will be recorded in a private space and only you and our team will be able to see. This is to help with goal setting and none of your personal details will be shared.

If you experience any problems registering for Body Benefits, please contact the Active North Tyneside team on 0191 643 7171 or active@northtyneside.gov.uk.
