Health and Activity

Newham Fit Club

Newham Fit Club helps local people to become more active and improve their lifestyle through healthy initiatives.

Newham Fit Club is a joint venture between the council and Newham Primary Care Trust (PCT) that gives you the chance to improve their health, regardless of age, ethnicity or background.

There are a number of healthy initiatives designed to help you become more active and improve your lifestyle.

The benefits you will get from joining Fit Club include:

  • a Lifestyle Journal that includes advice on the health benefits of becoming more active, along with advice on where to access more information on self help
  • information on how to get active, with updates on prominent events and new activities - take a look at the Walk 4 Health programme.
  • the chance to take part in activities such as archery, cricket, cycling, walking and swimming

To learn more about the activities on offer, download the Newham Fit Club Leaflet.

The Fit Club roadshow travels around the borough's libraries, community centres and surgeries. Our staff can can help you find out your Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, height, weight and body fat percentage. Once we have the results, we can give advice on how much exercise is right for you. Also, we invite Fit Club partners to give advice on topics such as diet, health in the borough, and available activities.

Test your physical activity knowledge with these four quick quiz questions.

We want you to take part in the events and activities and enjoy them.
Being healthy does not always mean hard work: the hardest part for some, is starting.
