Induction
Before you start your membership at Sporting Edge you need to complete a short induction course. The induction gives you the basic information you require to use the equipment in the suite and during your appointment you can ask any questions you wish regarding the facilities. The appointment usually takes no longer than 1 hour, is free of charge if you take out a membership and can be arranged at a time convenient to you.
Programmes
As a monthly or annual member of the Sporting Edge fitness suite you are entitled to FREE training programmes, written by our fitness professionals, targeted to address any fitness or lifestyle goal you may have.

Exercise Referral Scheme
Edge Hill Sport in consultation with local GP’s has created a 10-week course of exercise specifically aimed to improve a broad range of physical, physiological and psychological medical conditions including, amongst others, angina, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, hypertension, asthma, anxiety and depression. It can also play a key role in assisting post-operative recovery, mobility, insomnia, back pain and weight loss, as well as improving self-esteem and fitness.
Once a patient has been referred to us, our WRIGHT Foundation Qualified REFERRAL PROGRAMME CONSULTANTS, who are fully trained to devise appropriate exercise schedules, will, after a confidential personal assessment, issue a suitable 10-week programme of exercise. The exercise programmes are extremely varied and adapted to suit each referral’s health status and individual preferences. Reduced rates are available to patients on our Programme (details on request).
If you feel you, or someone you know, would benefit from a course of exercise on our G.P. Exercise Referral Programme, please speak to your Doctor, Consultant or Practice Nurse or speak with one of our Referral Programme Consultants.

Active Edge
“Stay stronger for Longer”
Regular exercise can be fun as well as making you feel better, strengthening those joints, reducing the risk of many diseases such as heart disease, reducing the effects of arthritis.
With this in mind we have created the new ‘Active Edge’ category of membership that is aimed at those over the age of 50 who are able to use the facilities during the off-peak times up to 4.30pm.
The member benefits are the same as an off-peak Premier Membership (excluding evening exercise classes) with the addition of FREE entrance into any programmed Active Edge session.
