Ray's Story
What was the reason you were referred to the exercise referral scheme?
I was referred to help me lose weight and to help with my mental health. I was very active when I was younger and now my lifestyle has become very inactive, so it was to also to help me get a more active again.
How do you think that being here has helped you?
Since joining the scheme I’ve started to lose weight, as I now attend the gym 3 times a week. It’s also had a massive positive effect on my mental health, I can now control my mental state of mind and overall a lot more of a calmer person. Coming here has been my escape, the staff and customers are all so welcoming. Coming here has now become part of my daily life.
What do you do while you are here?
I use the Top XT as cardio and mixture of upper body free weight exercises and resistance/kinesis weight machines.
Would you recommend it?
I would recommend joining the GP scheme to anyone. As it has helped me greatly physically and mentally.
