Newham Fit Club aims to help local people become more active and improve their quality of life. Newham Fit Club is a joint venture between Newham Council and Newham Primary Care Trust (PCT) to give local residents ways to improve their health, regardless of age, ethnicity or background.

The programme consists of a number of initiatives.

Lifestyle Journal
The journal gives lifestyle advice and tips on how to become more active and where to access more self help information.

Roadshows
Roadshows across the borough highlight the advantages of being active and giving people advice on where to access more information. Guests speakers are often invited along to give advice on diet and health in the borough, healthy eating, activities that are available etc.

The Roadshow travels around the borough to community centres, seasonal community events and health fairs. Services include: BMI (Body Mass Index - an indicator of whether your weight could affect your health), blood pressure, height, weight and body fat percent.

By registering with the Fit Club, you will get access to further help and an information pack. Details of relevant activities will be sent out to you, together with information about any prominent events coming up.

The aim of the programme is to improve lifestyle, through physical activity and healthy eating and above all for members to enjoy themselves at our events and activities. Being healthy does not always mean hard work, the hardest part for some is starting.
