Getting active has wider associated benefits too:

Improved overall mental health wellbeing and recovery
Meet new people and make friends
Weight loss
Improved confidence, motivation and self-esteem
Reduced stress, anxiety and depression
Better physical health including improvement, and reduced risk of long-term health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure

Energise is for women, but who will benefit?

If you are interested in getting active, but may not have exercised before.
If you are on a low income, and find cost is stopping you getting active.
Women who are concerned about attending alone, or struggle with anxiety.
If you have childcare responsibilities, that influence the times you are available.
If you struggle with the side-effects of medication, and lack structure to your day.
Women who find depression leaves them feeling tired and unmotivated - exercise actually releases endorphins, well-documented as improving depression and motivation levels.
