I started working with Heather after I ran the London Marathon. It was important for me to retain a goal, but I knew it wasn’t just about the running, I needed to help my body recover and build up strength again.

Once Heather had established my initial suitability to join the programme (commitment etc), I completed a whole load of documents to help build a holistic picture. I must admit that this took a while to complete but it really was worth it.

The actual programme was really easy to start on, I was pretty confident with the exercises and their description and was able to get stuck in. Heather checked in with me about how it was going and we maintained regular contact throughout the duration of the programme – this was one of the most important aspects as it enabled us to tailor the programme as we went along.

If you sign up to this programme then you need to be prepared for change, both with the lifestyle you choose to lead and the outcomes it brings. You need to be self motivated too, there’s no use in signing up if you’re not going to do anything!!
