Get active, stay strong, feel amazing! Whether it’s through structured exercise, fun sports, or everyday movement, we help you build a habit of staying active – because movement is the key to a healthier life.

Creativity

Nourish your body, energize your mind. From balanced nutrition to mental well-being, we support you in making healthier lifestyle choices that improve your quality of life – every day, in every way.

Environmental

Unlock your full potential. With the right mindset, habits, and support, you can go beyond just living—you can thrive. We empower individuals and communities to build lasting health and happiness.

Newry Mourne & Down District Council

It’s been fantastic to have the opportunity to work in partnership with Healthy Lifestylez to provide a variety of classes to enhance our membership packages that we can offer to residents of the district to encourage them to come to the centres to be active.

Testimonials

Here’s what our CUSTOMERS are saying:

Oasis Youth Club

Play it clean was a great opportunity for Oasis young people to engage in a project doing something they love! Creating a safe space for young people to have healthy competition and make new friendships was the highlight of the project. A great intervention for young people to participate in something positive over weekend and to have the presence of youth workers too.  
A boost in confidence for the Oasis football team who won the tournament in the final! Thanks to Healthy Lifestylez for organising!

by Bethany Ebron, Oasis Youth Club/CIP
Mid Ulster District Council
