Physical Activity Referral in Stockport (PARiS) is the exercise referral scheme delivered by Life Leisure. Designed to help people doing less than 30-minutes of exercise per week and living with chronic health conditions, to become active and improve their health.
A joint partnership between Life Leisure and Public Health, the scheme is delivered by a strong and experienced team of health and exercise professionals, who provide guidance, support and motivation towards health improvement.
Research shows that exercise can help not only your physical health but boost you mental and emotional wellbeing also.
The PARiS service continues to accept new referrals to the scheme and there is currently a three-four week wait for first appointments. Where possible, initial consultations are being delivered via telephone or video consultation but face to face appointments can be happily facilitated if preferred.
PARiS delivers over 20 supervised activity sessions across Stockport per week. We encourage all sessions to be pre booked via the Life Leisure app to avoid disappointment. Support in how to do this can be provided by your PARiS Coach.
Access to gym, swimming and other mainstream classes at Life Leisure hubs may also be an option and can be discussed with your PARiS Coach.
