It seems to me things start to fall apart in your fifties… whether it’s your eyesight, general aches and pains… the menopause, early onset arthritis and so on… it’s all a bit of a challenge. In particular my knees were painful – and so gradually I moved less… with inevitable results.

The main reason for joining the gym is yet to be accomplished.. but joining the gym was part of my master plan to finally quit smoking for good.

It’s been great working with Mark – helping him learning to manage his back while having a busy work & family schedule.

It’s three years now since I joined the Ady Watts family and honestly, I’ve never felt better, fitter or stronger.

I have been contemplating joining Ady Watts for sometime but didn’t feel I could cope with regular exercise. I trapped a sciatic nerve which had left me with a numb leg and no feeling in my right foot. Visits to Drs and physio over months have seen little improvement, walking any distance was a struggle.

In August 2021, after a long hill walk, I had an ankle problem which stopped me walking any sort of distance. I realised I needed help and needed to do something different – to gain fitness and to build strength.

Amanda joined us just a few months ago and has made great strides in getting fit for her forthcoming London to Brighton bike ride and getting into shape for her daughters wedding…

Yep I admit I was sceptical when I joined back in September 2021, yet here I am ‘Member of the Week’.

Hear how John’s making a return to golf…

Read how John uses his strength training to help stay injury free & improve his running.

Will joined 18 months ago in the hope of resolving on going knee issues. Fast forward to now and Will has undoubtedly turned his life around.

I have been going to gyms on and off for several years, although I could never say I was particularly happy with the outcomes, possibly because I never felt I had any real programme or leadership.
