Well done to Tony who has completed the Adult Exercise Referral programme with Specialist Health Advisor, Vicky.
Tony joined the programme after being referred by his physio. He was looking to not only improve his general fitness and to lose weight but was also managing musculoskeletal pain in his shoulders and neck.
Tony said that the program “encouraged me to become more focused and motivated to make positive changes in other areas of my life. Since starting, I’ve seen gradual improvements in my health and fitness – small steps, but meaningful progress. I’ve really appreciated how the program made the gym experience less intimidating.
L-R: Tony with Specialist Health Advisor Vicky
The gym tour, clear instructions, and written program took away the guesswork and helped me feel more confident and comfortable getting started. The team has been incredibly supportive, regularly checking in with messages to see how I’m progressing – it’s made a real difference knowing they’re in my corner.”
Since joining the programme Tony has increased his physical activity levels by attending the gym and playing badminton 3 days per week improving his general fitness, mobility and stamina as well as supporting with pain management.
During the programme, Tony lost 4kg in weight, reduced his waist circumference by 2cm, lowered his BMI from 33.5 to 32.1, and his blood pressure also lowered from 127/87 to 119/81.
