FS2F Mobile Gym
The First Steps 2 Fitness mobile gym was set up in April 2010, to help the communities of north Doncaster to take their first steps to living a healthier lifestyle.
NDDT provided a number of exercise sessions within four locations of north Doncaster, for a period of 12 weeks each:
- Toll Bar Primary School’s Community Room, Toll Bar (April 2010 – July 2010)
- Alexander House, Askern (July 2010 – October 2010)
- Trafalgar House, Carcroft (October 2010- December 2010)
- All Saints Community Centre, Woodlands (January 2011 – March 2011)
The sessions were available to all community members but were particularly aimed at anyone who did not carry out at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise per week or maybe felt low in confidence or uncomfortable in attending their local fitness centre.
Our professional gym instructor helped each individual to devise a health plan to help them achieve their personal fitness goals at their own pace.
The project was funded by the Enhanced Public Health Programme, which is part of Doncaster NHS. This funding ended on 31st March 2011, but NDDT are now looking into other opportunities to get the mobile gym back out in the community.
