Up for It?

Text Box: Success stories

 

Jean Robertson was referred to the Up for It? health and lifestyle programme by her general practitioner who felt that she required the services of the programme. Following her health check she was recommended for the exercise and leisure option and she began to use her local leisure facility, Blantyre Sports Centre. She used the facility over the period of her free year, using the gym; where she used the treadmill, rowing machine and bike.  Following swimming lessons she did aqua fit classes and she also attended the prime time club which provides easy aerobics.

Following her free year Jean decided to continue with her membership as she felt she wanted to continue with the lifestyle change she had started.

Over the last few years Jean has lost an amazing 12 stone in weight. She feels her life has completely turned around. She fells 100% better in herself. She is no longer short of breathe on exertion and several of her medical problems have also disappeared. She is motivated and often uses the gym at 7am before going to the pool for a swim. She uses the facility at least 4 times a week. Jean has made many new friends since she started using the leisure centre.

Jean is a great example of what can be achieved with dedication and motivation and a lot of hard work.

Well done Jean!!
