Setback to a comeback 👏🏻

After making remarkable progress after his stroke Michael unfortunately broke his hip back in November. This set us back a wee bit in his rehab and we switched to home visits to set about building his strength and stability around the break and Michael was determined to maintain the strength and momentum he had built up.

Our first aim was to get Michael strong enough to transfer back into the car and with the help of his family he was back in the gym at the start of January, just 6 weeks post break, so that we could further progress his rehab.

This week he took his first steps since the hip break and yesterday Michael walked a full length of the bars for the first time since November which is incredible and down to his attitude and that miners spirit!

Just an all round athlete 🥇

“We had winter Olympic fever at the gym today. Who says you can’t have a laugh when working out. It was great fun!” Said Alison, French Alps 2030 hopeful! 🤣

Amazing work from Alison and her coach Mollie, even Ross getting a wee cameo in the curling 🤣.

Another PB without knowing…..

Another deadlift PB for the big man. Shaun doesn’t like to know what’s on the bar until he’s lifted it, I could tell from his first couple lifts that the PB was flying up! 💪

150kg incoming!!

“Spanish hands Billy”….

DR Inclusive Golf

First golf lesson- Fundamentals

Grip ✅
Stance ✅
Posture ✅

= Spanish hands Billy

Billy has spina bifida and has been coming to the gym for a few years now. He has worked with David on a lot of strengthening and in particular tackling the stairs at home.

Billy has recently started golf lessons with Ross, having never played before, and the videos are of his first lesson last week. This has also added a new dimension to his training in the gym 💪.

Make it fun!

Right from her first session Kirsten really enjoyed throwing the tennis balls. She also loves colours and counting so we combined this with the coloured targets and made it into a game.

This helps with Kirsten’s session as after every exercise we will go back to throwing the balls and being silly and the routine really helps as she knows what is coming next.

Throwing the tennis balls is also really good for her hand eye coordination and encouraging her to sit up tall and look for the targets.

Adapted fitness classes!

Our adapted fitness classes are for disabled people and people with long term health conditions and offer a mix of cardio and resistance training tailored to the needs of each individual in the class. The classes also offer a chance for peer support or as we prefer to call it “a cuppa and a spraff”.

Come along and trial for free! Get in touch to book.

Stroke rehab…

Since Fiona’s stroke we have worked a lot on gait training which involves strengthening her legs, improving balance and increasing endurance to improve her ability to stand and walk safely.

Here she is pushing 40kg and pulling 60kg!

Fiona is a great laugh to have in the gym and gets stuck in both with the training and the banter! Let’s just say she holds her own in both 😂.

Amazing progress 👏🏻

40kg double!

Colin with a 40kg double on the deadlift 💪. We work a lot on Colin’s strength and stability to help with his gait and balance as this helps prevent as many falls!

The importance of maintenance….

Maintaining the boss’ upper body strength is key to her maintaining her independence.

The first video is Mairi pressing 25kg for one in 2020 and the second she is pressing 25kg for three in 2025 💪.
