Urinary incontinence (UI) affects many women and impacts quality of life. Group-based interventions may be an effective and efficient method for providing UI care; however, interventions must be acceptable to patients to have an impact. This study aimed to explore patients’ perceptions of an exercise training and healthy eating group program (ATHENA) for overweight and obese women with UI. This qualitative descriptive study involved semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants sampled from a feasibility study of ATHENA. The ATHENA intervention was co-developed with end-users and implemented in Women’s Health Physiotherapy services at an Australian hos-pital. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Eleven female patients participated (mean ± SD age 54.2 ± 9.9 years; body mass index 30.5 ± 3.25 kg/m2 ). Participants found ATHENA highly acceptable, with three themes emerging from interviews: (1) Participants’ journey of change through ATHENA, describing the shifts in knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and symptoms participants experienced; (2) High satisfaction with ATHENA, including educational content, exercise components and delivery style; and (3) Group setting integral to ATHENA’s success, with participants providing support, building friendships, and facilitating each other’s learning. Overall, ATHENA was acceptable to participants, who provided each other with peer support; an unexpected moderator to ATHENA’s success.
