Interventions
Participants in the PA+PS group will have three exercise sessions each week for 4 months, which will include group exercise classes and open gym hours for supervised individual exercise. They will also meet with a peer educator once a week for 15 minutes. Peer educators will provide emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support that is aimed to motivate participants to partake in the exercise sessions.
Participants in the PA group will attend the three weekly exercise sessions for 4 months but will not attend meetings with the peer educator.
