Most of us are aware that we really should take more exercise, but with everything else going on in our lives, it is hard to find the time or the motivation. This is where Kidney Beam can make the difference – it is an online service helping kidney patients take care of their physical and mental health. It offers you a way to improve your physical activity in your own home and at your own pace.

The online platform is hosted by specialist kidney professionals – from renal physiotherapists to renal counsellors – from a number of different NHS trusts and backgrounds, as well as people living with kidney disease. Kidney Beam is aimed at anyone over 16, with any ability, any kidney condition, and at any stage of kidney disease.

All classes have a fitness rating so you can choose the right one for you. At the beginning and end of the classes you can chat to each other and the instructors, and building new friendships might help you to stay motivated.

We know that we should be looking to improve physical and emotional health and it is free to ALL our renal patients and their care givers as it is being funded by the East of England Renal Network.

It is designed to be tailored to all your health needs and you can choose from classes covering a wide range of activities e.g. strength training, yoga, pilates, art, dance and cardio fitness.
