Leap

Leap is a completely free, 10-week weight management programme for adults in Leicestershire.

If you are fed up of dieting, then this programme is for you.

It combines nutrition, led by a registered dietitian, with structured exercise with an activity instructor. We have already helped hundreds of people in Charnwood develop the tools they need to lead a healthier lifestyle and lose weight.

The course will include useful discussions on:

• Balanced eating
• Portion sizes
• How to read food labels
• Eating out the healthy way
• Emotional eating
• Why “diets” don’t work
• Exercise to suit your needs

Leap sessions are delivered quarterly with four ten week sessions being delivered throughout the year. You can either chose from an afternoon session in Thurmaston or an evening session in Loughborough.
