Horizon Leisure’s women-only weight management programme is tailored for your needs

If this sounds like you, Horizon Leisure might have a solution. Its FREE, women’s-only weight management programme, Flourish, is tailored specifically to your needs. The programme, launched last year and funded by Hampshire County Council, has already positively helped hundreds of women in our community to lose weight and to live better. Due to its success, funding has been extended for two more years, allowing Horizon Leisure to help even more women improve their wellbeing.

What is Flourish?

Flourish has been designed by Horizon Leisure’s experts to help you to develop a fresh perspective about what you eat, how to move more and how to think differently about your wellbeing. The course will support you in achieving a healthy weight and help improve your motivation and self-esteem.

Join Horizon Leisure’s supportive community – we truly understand your unique challenges and can help you to lose weight.  The free programme includes a health check, information sessions, talks and advice, exercise classes and wellbeing sessions at The Hub at the Meridien Shopping Centre. Flourish also includes free access to exercise groups, including walking netball, Couch to 5k, low impact circuits and health walks. It’s a multi-layered approach to help kick start a healthier lifestyle and build resilience and positive behaviour change that will stay with you long beyond the course.

Our 12-week Flourish programme isn't about dieting; it's a journey towards better wellbeing for your long-term health. Each of our 12-week programmes can accommodate up to 30 women. If you think one of these spaces could help you, get in touch.

One of our Flourish ladies told us: “The Flourish programme has been a hugely positive experience for me, and helped me to unlock the tools in succeeding to get healthier.  The programme is informative, fun and friendly and the Horizon Leisure team are experts in overall wellness.  When I joined the 12-week programme, I was suffering with grief, and I can safely say that Flourish lifted me more than I could ever have imagined. There were some incredible results in my group, and for me personally – in just 12 weeks I lost 12kg. The key is to remember it’s not about a strict diet and depriving yourself, but a way to retune into a healthier lifestyle. I’d highly recommend Flourish to any women that want a fresh start.”
