Residents across Hertsmere can battle the bulge and learn to eat healthily thanks to a free lifestyle management programme.

The scheme, funded by Hertsmere Together, will be delivered by Hertsmere Leisure from November.

Running over 12 weeks, each programme is designed to look at the individual’s lifestyle and identify where changes can be made.

Participants will receive one-to-one sessions with an instructor and will be given the opportunity to try out a variety of activities at their local leisure centre free of charge.

Those that complete the programme will be rewarded with free membership for a month.

To book a place contact Sharon West, centre manager, via email: sharon.west@hertsmereleisure.co.uk.
