I have worked with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, age ranges 16-90 and with varied health conditions including obesity, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, cancer and cardiac conditions from receiving gp and physio referrals to help people be more active, mostly in a gym environment, as a tool to better manage their health conditions. This has included people who have never stepped into a gym before and those who are experienced in gym environments but have unfortunately gone on to develop health conditions which need considerations and adaptations to ensure their physical activity is safe and effective.
