HealthWise Exercise Referral Programme fees
Once you have been referred to the HealthWise programme, you can access activities on a "pay per session" basis, or take out a HealthWise membership with Energise at a reduced cost.
The HealthWise membership will include access to a range of available classes and access to the Energise facilities.
Not all HealthWise activities are covered by the HealthWise Energise membership, and those which take place at other locations may still require a "pay per session" payment.
Accessing the HealthWise programme
Any exercise referrals must be made on your behalf by your GP or other healthcare professional. Referrals should be directed to HealthWise.
Healthcare professionals will need to register to refer patients to the HealthWise Exercise Referral Programme.
