“I became a member at the end of January after a recurrence of a painful lower back which meant that for a week I couldn’t even stand for more than a couple of minutes.

Previously I’d been a regular gym user and cyclist, but the Pandemic and then a knee injury gradually led to less and less activity and a marked drop off of fitness. Despite my attempts to get going again nothing seemed to work. I needed to rehabilitate and wanted to get myself sorted after this latest “bad back” episode, so with the gym upstairs oriented to my generation and recovering from injury, I was motivated to start at Ady Watts.

I am back to cycling short distances on the road and can feel, and see, the benefits: I am better able to cope with outdoor activities, chores and gardening. Best of all, I look forward to my sessions, working through my programme on my own or training on the Wattbike.”
