Your GP can refer you to Steps to Health, Torbay's Exercise Referral Scheme which provides a safe, supervised and enjoyable introduction to physical activity within a controlled environment. 
The scheme gives people who are not regularly active or who have health problems the opportunity to improve their health and well-being, regardless of age, ability or experience.
