Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - Longfield Rd
Kirstie Hart Joined for the Joint Pain Programme struggling to walk without pain. I was out of breath simply walking to the toilet and struggled to get up and down from the floor when playing with the grandchildren. I was facing the possibility of a painful steroid injection and medication for high cholesterol and blood pressure. Coupled with a change to a healthy eating plan I achieved a weight loss of 7stones (almost 45kgs). I complimented the gym programme with walking a weekly Park Run. As my strength improved I went on to running the 5k park run progressing to 10k events. This year, 2 years after starting the gym programme I successfully completed my first half marathon. I now no longer require the medication previously advised. My blood pressure and cholesterol are now healthy. Nuffield gave me and improved my confidence in exercise. The staff are amazing and still available post course for support and advice, particularly Lauren from Tunbridge Wells. The course gave participants the opportunity to explore all areas of the gym including the swimming pool and fitness classes in a friendly and inclusive way. We were encouraged with support to build our own training programme selecting areas of the gym we enjoyed whilst keeping a varied programme to work all areas of the body. We were also shown adaptations for any specific health needs. I was at a great risk of serious health problems which have been addressed with the support of Nuffield
and my life has completely changed for the better.
