Men in Leeds interested in getting their health and fitness back on track in 2018 can sign up for a free 12-week programme with Leeds Rhinos Foundation in January at three locations across the city.
Try Club which has been running since 2016 as part of the charity’s health delivery, will be rolled out at new venues John Smeaton Leisure Centre and Oulton Raiders ARLFC along with a new programme at Emerald Headingley Stadium.
Supported by Leeds Public Health, Try Club is designed specifically for men across Leeds with a BMI over 25 who are interested in improving their general health through regular diet and exercise.
The course offers weekly 90 minute sessions to focus on a variety of nutrition and health topics all designed to educate men around achieving realistic healthy and maintainable lifestyle changes.
Delivered by health professionals from Leeds Rhinos Foundation, Try Club also includes 45-minutes of physical activity that works on building muscle mass, reducing body fat and strengthening the core.
Having worked with over 60 men across six programmes in 2016, the programme also encourages members to take part in charity runs and walks and now provides a fitness maintenance session for programme graduates to come together to continue their fitness journey upon completion of the programme.
Three new Try Club programmes will be starting in January at the following venues:
– Oulton Raiders ARLFC (LS26 8EL), Mondays (from 15th Jan), 1 – 2.30pm
– John Smeaton Leisure centre (LS15 8TA), Tuesdays (from 16th Jan), 6 – 7.30pm
– Emerald Headingley Stadium (LS6 3BR), Wednesday (from 17th Jan), 6 – 7.30pm
The programme is free and open to all men (Rhinos fan or not) who want to get fitter, healthier and in control of their weight. For more information get in touch with laura.buckle@leedsrhinosfoundation.org
