What a Green Prescription involves
If you are given a Green Prescription you will be referred to either Harbour Sport or Sport Auckland.
They will register you in the programme and invite you to an orientation at one of our participating Auckland Council leisure centres.
At the orientation, you'll be taken on a facility tour to explain your exercise options and what your membership gives you access to.
What are the benefits?
You will be offered one-on-one consultations so we can understand your goals, medical conditions or injuries. Our fitness professionals can design an exercise programme that will suit you.
