Mick's Story

 

Mick was refered to the Exercise Referral Scheme by his GP after attending Pulmonary Rehabilitation classes for his COPD. 

Mick really enjoys coming to the gym. He finds that everybody is really friendly and his instructor Jo has built a great programme for him to help with his COPD. He has made brilliant progress and feel his fitness has improved.  Mick's gym sessions consist of amixture of cardio and resistance training, he feels very positive about coming and leaves feeling really good. Mick says he would definitely recommend the Exercise Referral Scheme to others.
