One Body One Life

Our aim is
'To raise the levels of healthy eating and exercise to improve the health of Coventry'.

What is One Body One Life?

We are a free 12 week community weight management programme that works with families to ensure they have the right advice, support and opportunity to improve their levels of healthy eating and exercise.

What do we do?

Over the 12 weeks we ask families to come and see us to take part in one healthy eating workshop per week, one exercise session per week and we have some sessions where you can sit down with our lifestyle coaches and have a chat. Lifestyle Coaches will not tell you to change what you eat or tell you to do more exercise. We will sit down and talk to you about what changes you want to make. We will then support you to make those changes through talking to you on your own and asking you to come along to our group sessions.

Is it boring?

All of our sessions are designed to be fun as well as helpful and supportive.

The exercise sessions will give you the chance to try many new activities that you might not normally be able to try. We will be playing games like dodgeball, rounders, kwik cricket and football.

Who can come to One Body One Life?

If you are worried about the weight of a member of your family (mum, dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle) why not phone or email us to have a chat about coming along to our 12 week healthy eating and physical activity course. We work in schools and childrens centres and can let you know if a course is going to be delivered near you.

Does One Body One Life work?

We were the first community weight management programme to operate in Coventry. We are the only course that meets all of the Department of Healths recommendations for the delivery of family based community weight management programmes. All of our staff are well trained and well qualified. They are Wright Foundation trained so that even if you have diabetes or asthma or a range of other long term illness we can support you.
