Everybody Healthy member Clare Readdin alongside Specialist Health Advisor Holly Brough at Crewe Lifestyle Centre
Congratulations to Clare Readdin for completing Everybody’s 12-week Adult Exercise Referral programme, at Crewe Lifestyle Centre, with Specialist Health Advisor Holly Brough. Clare was referred to help manage pain and increase her energy levels, to help with fibromyalgia, chronic plantar fascia pain, long covid and osteoarthritis.
When asked what made her want to get involved in the programme she said, “I am in pain everyday with my body/fibro, I just want to get better especially with the pain in my legs”.
Since completing the programme she says her health and fitness is, “Much better, my legs are still sore but the gym helps me manage and reduce that pain. I find that after I have been to the gym I am in less pain for the rest of the day”.
Clare has found the gym has helped her meet new people and improve her mental health commenting, “The gym makes me feel in a better mood and helps me to manage my mental health which is something I have struggled with due to my anxiety”.
Clare continued:
“I just feel better in myself and my mental health, I still have good and bad days, but now I have less bad days and I know I find my escape in the gym. I have loved every minute of the 12 weeks; it has got me moving and I feel so much better for it. I am so grateful for the support from Everybody and have now joined as a member to keep me going”.
Specialist Health Advisor at Everybody Health & Leisure, Holly Brough shared:
“Clare has been a pleasure to work with and always gives of her best. When Clare first joined, she was a little apprehensive over whether she would be able to complete the programme. However, in a very short space of time built up her confidence and has been using the gym regularly. Clare is always smiling and happy to help others in the gym which has been great to see.”
