GP Referral and Cardiac Rehab

The YMCA North Tyneside are now proud to announce the launch of our GP Referral and Cardiac Rehab sessions in partnership with The Healthy Hearts Group at North Tyneside Hospital.

There is currently one group exercise session which runs on a Wednesday morning from 10a.m until 11a.m which is supervised by qualified staff from both the YMCA centre and from the hospital. The session is designed for individuals who are recovering from Heart attacks and other related illnesses.

Attendees must be referred by their GP or directly from Healthy Hearts in order to participate in this session.

We also participate in a GP referral scheme offering support and advice for individuals who aren’t quite ready for everyday unsupervised gym activities. This may be individuals suffering from Diabetes, weight concerns, high blood pressure and the like who simply need one to one support during their visits as they gain strength on their road back to a healthy lifestyle. The sessions can be private in a  studio environment (e.g. a  light exercise circuit) or take part in the main gym which boasts a comfortable, community based clientele and atmosphere.

(Staff are GP Referral qualified).

We are hoping to expand the current gp referral sessions available linking in with more and more GP surgeries in the North Tyneside area.

Please contact your GP initially to be referred to us, alternatively any concerns/queries can be discussed in confidence with qualified GP Referral staff at the YMCA Fitness Centre (YClub).
