RIVERSMEET GP REFERRAL PROGRAM
If you're recovering from an illness or injury, living with a health condition or concern, or simply waiting to improve your physical or mental health, you may be eligible for an exercise referral from your GP. For just £90, you can access a 12-week program that includes a bespoke exercise plan tailored to your specific needs. With access to our gyms, swimming pool, and specific classes, we make it easy for you to find the exercises that work for you.
Our dedicated program manager and trainer, Lynsey, and the rest of our expert team will work 1:1 to help you stay on track and motivated. The wonderful members you’ll meet along the way will ensure you make new friends and have fun throughout!
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
All that’s needed to get started is a chat with your GP about exercise by prescription. Once RiversMeet have received your referral (this is normally sent by your GP, but you can also email us your referral here), we will then be in contact to get you booked in for your private consultation to discuss your needs. We’ll develop a bespoke plan to get you active and help you reach your goals. Throughout your program you’ll have regular assessments from our trainers to see if you’re on track or need some further support.
How much does the GP referral program cost?
The program is only £90 for 12 weeks, which is either payable in one payment or monthly installments.
What’s included in my GP referral membership?
Your trainer will meet with you every 2-4 weeks to review your progress and write your fitness program. They'll help you with any lifestyle or nutritional questions you may have too. Alongside our trainer support, you’ll have access to our gym, swimming pool, and exclusive GP referral classes such as Breathe Well Health Circuits, Senior Weights, and Active Plan. Our trainers will recommend the appropriate exercises and classes for your needs. You can view our latest class timetables here.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
“I joined RiversMeet through a GP referral back in November 2023. At first I was extremely anxious and felt out of place, however I was quickly made to feel comfortable with the classes and gym equipment. To start with I worked on developing a routine, building my confidence, working on my form and just getting used to exercising regularly. In January, with lots of support and encouragement I started working on my diet and challenging myself more in the gym. Since then I have lost over 10kg and dropped 2 dress sizes. I feel fitter, more energetic, my sleep has improved and I am genuinely feeling much improved in many areas. My asthma has improved significantly and my fibromyalgia pain is more manageable. I put these things down to the lifestyle changes I have been able to make with the help and support of the RiversMeet team. Thank you."
AISHA
“After a hand injury caused sepsis, I had 18 strokes. The sepsis also infected my aortic valve so open heart surgery was essential. A long slow recovery was needed and since having a GP referral to RiversMeet gym my mobility has improved. My right arm which was only able to extend to shoulder height is now reaching for the ceiling. Balance is better and although weights are used, only minimal weights have increased my muscle tone. Much fitter and will continue indefinitely. Thank you to all the team”

“Following pneumonia in 2023 it was discovered I had COPD and fibrosis. Having led a very active life, my mobility was hampered by my inability to work, walk very far, and exercise. This resulted in my weight increasing and my breathing and my mobility worsening. All of this brought about my depression and I felt I was in a vortex of decline. At my annual COPD clinic and also my annual ‘MOT’, I discussed the possibility of being referred to the gym to hopefully start to reduce my spiralling health problems. I had considered going to the gym but was nervous of any repercussions with my health problems. So, I was delighted when my surgery were able to do a referral to RiversMeet to introduce me and discuss my health problems and what my capabilities were. I initially met with Lynsey, we discussed my health problems and she drew up a plan for me to attend twice a week for 45 minutes each session. That was 3 months ago and to say my health and breathing has improved is an understatement. Both Lynsey and Robyn are amazing, very helpful and patient and know how to get the best out of us. My visits to the gym are the highlight of my week. I’ve started another day fortnightly as I feel I can now stretch myself that little bit further.”
