Exercise and friendship
Heart-Throbs is an independent cardiac exercise and social group based in Enfield, North London. Our patron is Dr Simon Kennon who is based at Barts Heart Centre and we are linked to Royal Free London (including Barnet, Chase Farm and North Middlesex hospitals). We welcome anyone who has had a heart condition or heart surgery and their partners.
Whether you are looking to keep up the fitness you built in cardiac rehab, meet people who truly understand what you have been through, or simply enjoy a regular, supported exercise routine, Heart-Throbs is here for you.

Who we are
Heart-Throbs has been supporting North London’s cardiac community for many years. We are a voluntary group run by people who care about helping others live well after a heart event. Our exercise sessions are led by qualified cardiac rehabilitation specialists and our monthly social meetings bring together a community of members who share their experiences and support one another.
We welcome members of all ages and all fitness levels, from those in their early 40s to those well into their 90s. Every new member is made to feel at home from day one.

Since my bypass 13 years ago I have exercised twice a week. The exercise has helped a great deal, but so has the support and companionship of the group.
