A new way of getting people involved in sport and physical activity has hit our streets, in the form of a big red and white bus...
The Sunderland Active Bus has been developed in partnership with Sunderland's Active Board, SAFC Foundation, Sport England and Sunderland Teaching Primary Care Trust. The Active Bus is equipped to carry out health and fitness checks for anyone who jumps aboard. A team of 'activators' will then take time to explain the results of the health checks, and identify sports and physical activity opportunities which could benefit the customer. This could be directing them to a local walking club, yoga class or a sports club.
Equipment on the Active Bus includes:
- Technogym Medbike Excite (exercise cycle)
- Technogym Top Excite (arm cycle)
- BioSpace InBody Body Analyser
- Wellness Checking equipment
- Classroom / Consultation area
- Large Screen Interactive Whiteboard
- Wi-Fi Internet access
- Printing facilities
