Exercise

Yes there’s a free 12 week exercise programme at local leisure centres and if you have any pure gyms near you they offer free membership if you are on cancer rehabilitation. You need a referral from MacMillan for the leisure centres 12 week programme. 

Hi. Our local authority run an exercise class at the local sports centre to people having treatment for it are recovering from cancer. I went using my KAL membership but you can have 12 free classes if refered by a doctor.

I've mentioned this before but Aqua fit and Aquamed are a great form of exercise. I've just gone back between chemo and surgery. I have arthritis, thank you tamoxifen, and it's much easier on the joints. It good fun too. I hadn't been fitter in my life. I pay £22 a month and I was doing 3 classes a week. Cost a fortune on swimsuits but that's another story.

Yes swimming is great!

If you are near a Maggies Centre they also have a programme of classes, both virtual and f2f.

this is exactly my same question, how lovely to have the replies and opportunity to use gyms for free.  just what I need to get this tamoxifen belly off.  (well it might be perimenopause or cake....), so how do we do the "need a MacMillan referral part? or is it rom your doctor as the other reply states?  Would you like to have a virtual exercise buddy?

I would also advocate parkrun. You don’t have to run as it’s open to walkers as well as joggers -and runners plus you can also volunteer if you want to be involved but not complete 5k. 9am Saturday at many many locations. There’s also a cancer recovery organisation called 5k your way that hosts groups at some parkruns on one Saturday a month. Inclusive and fun.
