We have day and evening groups running in Cowfold, Horsham, Henfield, Storrington and Billingshurst.
If you're ready to stop the yo-yo dieting, get active and commit to making sustainable changes, we think you'll love WOW.

WOW Graduates
This month concluded the end of our latest WOW course. As ever we had some fantastic results, not only in amount of weight lost but positive impact on mood, fitness and general wellbeing. Here's what Martyn and Paul from our Horsham and Pulborough group had to say about their experience:

Martyn
'For the last 5 years I have been classed as prediabetic and I have always had difficultly controlling my weight. The opportunity to join WOW was presented to me by my GP and it sounded too good to miss. The course has been fantastic, the leaders are so enthusiastic and supportive and I have really benefitted from practising mindful eating and appreciating my food.'
Martyn lost over 8.5kg, lowered his cholesterol, blood pressure and is no longer classed as 'prediabetic'

Paul
'I felt like this was my last chance to lose weight after being diagnosed with osteopenia and gradually gaining weight each year.
The course helped me to understand food combinations and pushed me to plan my meals and grocery shopping which has actually reduced my food bill. I have started jogging and after 10 weeks have lost over a stone. I still have a way go but I've now started my journey.'

Learn To Run
 Learn to Run is a free step-by-step course for people who aren't already active and need a little help to get started, aiming to help you go from walking to jogging over a 10 week period.
There are absolutely no expectations in terms of reaching a particular distance or running for a set time by the end of the course, we encourage everyone to go at their own pace.
Sessions comprise of a warm up, main activity, cool down and stretch to finish. Rest assured it won't just be running loops around the park; we recognise variety is important when trying to maintain interest and motivation (you might even forget you are exercising!).
Starting:
Wednesday 20th September 6-7pm in Horsham Park
July's Workshops
Our FREE group talks and workshops are a friendly and informal way to find out information on a range of subjects.
