During this Covid-19 pandemic, we understand that some of you may not feel comfortable attending a face-to-face class. We have therefore, launched a brand-new ShapeUp4Life app which is accessible to Isle of Wight residents 24/7.
The ShapeUp4Life app has been built based on our existing Shapeup4life programme and is available on Android and iOS.
You can download the App on Android here or on iOS here, or check out our Healthy Lifestyle Tips Booklet here.

Exercise on Referral scheme
The 1Leisure One card membership scheme is available to anyone on our weight management course who have not previously been referred for prescription exercise.
The Exercise on Referral scheme is operated by 1Leisure and Public Health. This scheme can only be accessed directly with 1Leisure with a referral from a health professional.
Isle of Wight Health Walks
The Isle of Wight Health Walks programme supports local people to experience the benefits of getting out and staying active. It helps to improve your mental and physical wellbeing and reducing social isolation.
The groups are led by friendly, specially trained volunteers. The volunteers are on hand to provide encouragement and support, and make sure no one gets left behind. The walks are short and over easy terrain. They are open to everyone but are especially aimed at those who are least active.
Isle of Wight Council sports unit
The sports unit provides advice on walking and cycling challenges and ‘Isle be active’, for more information visit Sports Development Unit.
