GCRA+ is a health charity, which was founded in 2002 by three cardiac patients to establish and provide Phase IV Cardiac Rehabilitation exercise classes in Grampian, led by professionally trained specialist exercise instructors.

After piloting the effectiveness of our exercise classes for patients with a wider range of long term health conditions on behalf of NHS Grampian in 2013/14, a decision was made to open up our classes to people living with a wider range of long-term health conditions, including respiratory, musculoskeletal and mental health conditions.

We currently lead a network of weekly ‘Healthy Heart’ & ‘Strength & Balance’ exercise classes at community venues throughout Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire. Visit our website to find your local class and joining information – https://www.gcra.org.uk/classes
