The 12-week Southend on Sea Physical Activity Referral service has been designed to help inactive people that are struggling with their mental and physical health. It does this by encouraging them to get more physically active both within the service and beyond, people are given the tools and support required to take more control over their own health.
What does this service involve?
Our Physical Activity programme offers you a chance to get active, with lots of different options available!
Our FREE Everyone Health classes include seated strength and balance classes, Zumba Gold® and our health walks twice weekly on a Tuesday and a Thursday located along Southend Seafront and Southend Pier.
Alternatively, we can arrange weekly classes for 12 weeks with our partner, Active Life for FREE! These include:
- Mum & Baby Pre or Post Natal Fitness

Fancy something a bit different? How about discounted rates with our other partners?
If it’s something exciting you’re after, we can provide 12 weeks of Indi Rock bouldering sessions for £5 per session.
Looking for something more tranquil and toning? You can have 12 weeks of seated or conventional yoga with Yoga 4 All for just £2 per session.
Who is this Service for?
- Anyone aged 16+ who lives, works or is registered at a GP surgery in Southend, who is inactive. Anyone who performs less than 30minutes of exercise per week is considered inactive.
Occasionally doctors may recommend a patient doesn’t exercise if they have a severe health condition that could be made worse by activity. To join the service we’ll need you to confirm that you haven’t had this advise from your doctor. If you’re not sure speak to your GP, who can send a referral for you.
