A new health and well-being course is being launched in the Chichester District, aimed at working-aged men.
The Warrior Programme begins in Bosham on Thursday, the 18th of September, offering support to men aged 30 to 60 who want to improve their health and wellbeing.
It follows a successful pilot earlier this year, which received positive feedback.
Participants will be introduced — or reintroduced — to fitness through simple workouts, practical training, and health and nutrition guidance. The course offers a varied programme of outdoor and indoor activities, including use of Chichester Strength and Conditioning's gym, with a focus on improving form and mobility, technique, and building confidence.
Mental health is also a key part of the programme. Primal Warrior, a local men's mental health group, will lead sessions aimed at reducing stress and building mental resilience.
"This new programme is a wonderful opportunity for men in our district who are looking for opportunities to build their confidence and improve their health and fitness," says Cllr Tracie Bangert, Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing at Chichester District Council. "We know that men are often less likely to seek help when it comes to their health, which is why programmes like this are so important. The Warrior Programme offers a welcoming and encouraging space where participants are supported every step of the way.
"The pilot that we ran earlier this year was an amazing success. The sessions are a great opportunity for men in this age category to exercise more, improve their mobility and energy levels, and boost their overall health and mental wellbeing.
"The Warrior Programme has been developed to offer practical guidance, and a welcoming space where men can connect, share experiences, and encourage each other, taking positive steps towards healthier and happier lives."
The Warrior Programme is delivered by Chichester Strength and Conditioning in partnership with Chichester Wellbeing and Primal Warrior. Spaces are very limited — to book, visit Chichester Strength and Conditioning's website(opens new window).
