A new approach to health promotion

We know it's not easy getting patients to lead healthier lives, which is why, in conjunction with our team of experts; we've developed a solution to get them going.

It's called Fitbug and it works with doctors across a range of scenarios, supporting either existing programs or offering a whole new one on your behalf.

So, no matter if you're interested in a weight-management service, healthy-lifestyle program, cardiac rehabilitation, or just a way to improve the results of your exercise referral plan, Fitbug can help. We can train your staff to run these programs themselves, or we can do everything on your behalf - it's entirely up to you.

The aim with all our programs is to help individuals make positive lifestyle changes through increasing activity levels and improving diets, while helping patients overcome the obstacles that have held them back. This could be anything from a fear of exercise, lack of time to prepare healthy meals, or lack of confidence.

Our unique ability to assist patients in making lifestyle changes for the long term, while providing tools to allow practitioners to track, monitor, and report on the impact made, has made our service invaluable.

Together we can give your patients a healthier future - so contact Fitbug today.

Weight management

Fitbug's Weight Management Program is a unique solution consisting of weekly interactive group sessions together with remote coaching. Weekly sessions focus on behavior modification, indentifying the barriers to change, finding ways to overcome any lapses and, of course, the importance of keeping active and eating healthy. Outside of weekly sessions, patients are kept motivated with their Bug, weekly targets, online tools and regular contact via text and email giving them round the clock support.

Exercise Referral

Our Exercise Referral package aims to help patients feel fitter and healthier outside the gym environment. This not only gives them extra confidence, but also helps them to lead a more active lifestyle every day. It also solves the common issue of maintaining participation, as patients often feel intimidated by both the gym and the task ahead of them.
