Juanita
Corporate Health and Wellbeing Manager
Having joined SLL in 1998 Juanita’s passion to provide physical activity to people with health problems drove her to establish an exercise referral scheme at the Stevenage Lifestyles. This has grown significantly over the last 2 decades and she now manages successful schemes in 11 other SLL facilities. Over 3000 members are now gaining benefit from exercise on referral as well as a number of other health and wellbeing schemes across North Herts, Central Beds and Rutland. Juanita has worked tirelessly to establish and maintain good working relationships with the NHS, CCG and Public Health to help promote the schemes. Juanita has pioneered a number of projects to lower the risk of developing or to stabilise and improve health conditions through physical activity.

Hayley
Exercise Referral Coordinator Royston
I am a young, enthusiastic Fitness Instructor who believes that there is a type of exercise out there for everyone!
I am trained in Exercise Referral, multiple types of fitness class as well as being dance trained and I honestly believe that exercise can change your life if you find something you enjoy (& I promise there are more options in fitness than just lifting weights or running on the treadmill, so if that’s not for you, then we can still find something that you’ll enjoy). I’m a chatty fun person who’s ready and waiting to help you with your journey, no matter which stage you’re currently at!
