First Thursday of the month • 7pm
Monthly social meetings and community support
As well as our weekly exercise classes, Heart-Throbs runs monthly social and educational meetings at Holtwhites Sports and Social Club in Enfield. These evenings are warm, friendly and genuinely useful, with guest speakers covering everything from medical topics to general interest talks.
Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month (except January and August) and start at 7pm. Admission is just £3 on the door, and there is no obligation to be an exercise member to attend. Between 30 and 60 members typically join us each month.

What happens at our meetings
Each meeting features a guest speaker, followed by a lively question and answer session. Speakers have included:
- ❤Medical consultants, GPs and hospital pharmacists
- ❤Cardiac nurses and fitness specialists
- ❤Cardiologists including our patron Dr Simon Kennon
- ❤Speakers on a wide range of general interest topics
After the talk there is always the opportunity to chat with the speaker privately, and of course to catch up with fellow members over a cup of tea. Many of our members say the social side is as important to their recovery and wellbeing as the exercise.
