Fitness and Wellbeing

The NHS recommends focusing on simples, everday habits to support your health adn wellbeing in the new year.

  • Aim for regular physical activity - even short walks count
  • Stay active in ways you enjoy: Walking, cycling, swimming, clubs or home workouts
  • Balance activity with rest and good sleep
  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet and stay hydrated
  • Look after your mental wellbeing as well as your physical health 

Below are some examples of opportunities happening in 2026 to promote fitness and wellbeing in Oxfordshire. 

Our social prescribers can also offer great advice and recommendations about opportunities in the local area, please call our reception team if you are interested in being referred to them. 

Beezee Oxfordshire

BeeZee Oxfordshire is a free healthy lifestyle programme delivered by Maximus UK, offering tailored support for adults, men, and families across the county. Designed by behaviour scientists and nutritionists, the initiative helps participants make small, realistic changes rather than quick fixes to support sustainable weight loss and improved wellbeing. Adults can join BeeZee Adults either in-person or online with weekly sessions, habit trackers, peer support, and even 12‑week vouchers for Slimming World or WeightWatchers. For men, the “Gutless” 10‑week course combines webinars, camaraderie, and one‑to‑one nutrition guidance.
