The course will focus on improving health and fitness through physical activity, good nutrition and basic health screening.

With courses for men and women the programme offers a range of health promotion information, guidance on diet and nutrition, group based physical activity sessions and fitness challenges.  Hibernian Training Centre provides the venue and the course is suitable for fans of all ages who are interested in improving fitness, managing weight and achieving personal health goals.

For 90 minutes each week, participants gain access to support and advice to begin their own personal journey to better health.
