"SHAPE programme"

Hi! Since the beginning of May 2025 I’ve been part of the 12-week SHAPE programme, which I joined thanks to a recommendation from Ms Jo at Early Intervention Help — I’m very grateful to her!

I live in Evesham, and since the group sessions take place weekly at the local Leisure Centre, it’s just a 20-minute walk from home. SHAPE has brought so many positive things into my life — I feel healthier, happier, and I can share that joy with my wonderful sons and fellow participants.

The programme is fantastic for meeting new people, learning about healthy living, and getting active. The instructors are kind, professional, and offer a truly personalised approach. SHAPE combines theory with fitness, games, walks, group chats and homework — it’s motivating and genuinely fun.

I’ve just completed Week 8, and already lost 3 cm from my waist! I now run once a week, do 20 squats every evening, eat nutritious breakfasts with fruit and plan my meals. That’s a huge success for me!

Thanks to SHAPE I also joined Evesham Parkrun with a new friend I met through the programme. I’ve learned relaxation and mindfulness techniques that help me stay focused and motivated. There are still 4 weeks to go — and I’m feeling inspired!

Thank you to the whole SHAPE team — this programme has changed my life and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!
