A new season is just around the corner so it’s a great time to reassess your lifestyle and commit to small changes that could transform your life.

Having already supported over 15,000 people in Derby to lose weightstop smoking and improve their health, Livewell could help you to achieve your goals. 

To qualify, you’ll need to be registered to a Derby GP practice and have a BMI of 30 or over for our free weight loss programme or be a smoker to access our stop smoking service.  We also have a free healthy lifestyle programme called Live IT for children aged five to 17, which offers lots of fun-packed activities and interactive family-friendly healthy eating sessions.

Former clients can re-join until 31 March

We've extended our offer for people who have been on our adult weight loss programmes before to re-join until 31 March 2020. During this limited time former weight loss clients can apply to re-join our weight management programme - see conditions below:

Re-joining conditions

Former clients can re-join Livewell’s weight loss programmes until 31 March 2020.  The offer is only open during this time period for the first 100 clients who apply and book their activation meetings.

Clients who wish to re-join will need to contact the Customer Team by emailing [email protected] or calling 01332 641254 – see opening hours below.

  • Monday – 9am-5pm
  • Tuesday – 9.30am-5pm
  • Wednesday/Thursday – 9am-5pm
  • Friday – 8.30am-3.30pm

Former clients who had a leisure centre membership (for any amount of time as part of their 12 month programme) will be unable to have a second free gym/group exercise membership when re-joining.  However, they can access all Livewell exercise sessions and swimming at Queen's Leisure Centre.  A registered buddy can join former clients at Livewell exercise sessions for free. 

Former clients will be given the opportunity to take up the discounted Wellness membership which includes gym and group exercise sessions at Council leisure facilities as long as they haven’t had a paying Derby Active membership in the last 12 months.

Former clients who haven’t had a paying Derby Active membership in the last 12 months can take out a Wellness membership, even if they’ve had a previous 12-month Wellness membership upon completing a commitment card, which will be explained when re-starting the programme.  Clients that already have a live Wellness membership will be given the opportunity to extend the 12-month membership to the end of their Livewell programme.  

Former clients will be unable to re-join if:

  1. They failed to attend three or more sessions without letting us know during a previous Livewell programme and/or they failed on more than one occasion to respond to our contact attempts.
  2. They are a Livewell volunteer.
  3. They have been discharged from the programme due to aggressive, violent or inappropriate behaviour towards our team.
