"Increasing promotion of health and participation in activity forms a key part of our work to tackle obesity, with opportunities for children and families to exercise together being particularly useful. I am encouraged by Let's Get Healthy's determination and action based approach."

"As a family we all need to keep active and eat healthily, both parents and kids. So instead of encouraging our kids to do the right things, why don’t we as parents join them and live happier and healthier lives together."

Leeds Metropolitan University

"For the first time someone is engaging schools, communities and employers in the quest to increase physical activity. Being located in the neighbourhoods where young people live is key to achieving this goal. We are excited about the massive potential of this programme and for us to conduct research within it to show how to improve the well-being and lives of young people."

"We’ve become a nation of play stations, X boxes and computers! Let's Get Healthy is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference and get not only our kids but ourselves active and healthy. I love the fact that it’s a mobile community so it comes to you! Plus education starts with kids, so teaching them how to get active and healthy should be at the top of the agenda."

"Let's Get Healthy is a refreshing change - physical activity going to the community rather than the community having to go to find physical activity."

"The Studio itself was fabulous and a lot bigger than I'd imagined. It was open, light and very spacious, creating a great environment for both children and adults to become healthy. The Health Leaders did a great job of engaging the children.

As role models they've a big part to play in the education and promotion of healthy lifestyles. Whilst playing games with fruit, the children all had smiles on their faces, which was great to see. If children enjoy being active they are more likely to become healthy adults."

"Kids today look up to Pop Idols dancing and singing on TV, so the way Let's Get Healthy used different kinds of dance to get the kids active was great. I could see they felt special, like they were the Pop stars. We definitely need to get more kids involved!"

Shakespeare Primary School, Leeds

"I definitely liked the dancing the best; it was so much fun and easy to follow. I wish it would come to my school, it’s better than normal P.E. lessons!"

Primrose Primary School, Leeds

"I like the games we played. It was different to a normal P.E. Lesson which made it fun."

"The programme gets you to think actively about your posture which is great for office workers. You'd be surprised at the number of people who are unaware of how they are sitting at their desk and how they should be sitting."

"There is an emphasis on the kids doing activity together, like passing the melon instead of a ball, which they find hilarious and is very important in getting kids motivated. At the same time, everyone can work to their own ability which is key to getting people who aren’t active started!"
