Active Steps aims to support people living in South West Edinburgh to become more physically active and maintain a healthy diet long term. We will help you to make small changes in your everyday routines that will set you on track for a healthier lifestyle. We offer some gentle exercise classes suitable for people with mobility issues and those new or returning to exercise. Classes include chair-based exercise, indoor and outdoor circuits, a walking group and seated yoga. We can offer support in a gym environment as well as 1:1 advice on diet and goal-setting. We also run regular healthy lifestyle groups which have the added benefit of peer support.

Who can benefit?

Being more active and eating a healthier diet is a positive step for everyone and we know that these are behaviours that also have a positive impact on mental well being. You are welcome to self-refer or your GP may refer you to our services if you require help with any of the following:

  • Weight management

  • One or more long term conditions such as: type 2 diabetes; pre-diabetes; COPD; high blood pressure; arthritis; high cholesterol

Our activities are suitable for all levels of fitness regardless of your health and well being. The process starts with an initial one to one chat to explore your individual health needs. Then you may be registered for one of our services or another service in Edinburgh – depending on what’s best for you and your current situation.
