What our clients say...

"Before this programme, I wasn't doing much exercise and I had not been eating healthily. Now I am feeling great. I am happy losing weight and I enjoy exercising on a regular basis."

"I have lost a stone in weight, I am really pleased about that. I have become independent in the aquacise session at the Meridian Leisure Centre and I understand more about how to use the machines in the gym independently. I am more confident going to the gym and enjoy it."
