Ten years ago, she was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and since then she’s been through a lot of very intense treatments.
As a result of her treatment, she developed type 2 diabetes and lymphoedema in her leg which can be incredibly painful.
She’s on a lot of medication.
However, through it all, she’s always tried to keep moving as best she can.
“When I came across Polly’s small group training, I decided to try a session – and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
After 2 months, she was really feeling the benefits:
- She was more flexible
- The pain in her leg eased significantly
- She was feeling stronger
And as a result, her confidence grew.
She started to actually enjoy and look forward to the sessions.
A couple of months in, she increased her weekly sessions and started to notice significant changes!
She came in one morning very excited to report that:
- Her blood sugars were down for the first time in 10 years!!
- Her triglycerides (bad fats) have finally started to come down too!
She’s always eaten well and the doctors could never fully explain why her triglycerides were so high.
“I’m convinced that the strength-based training and all those squats and lunges – are making a real difference.”
I’ll remind you of that Helen!!
“I look forward to the small classes and the lovely people in them. Polly adapts every exercise to suit your individual needs, and the encouragement from everyone is wonderful. Polly and Olivia are brilliant at explaining each movement and giving you that gentle push to go a little further.”
I love the variety in the classes and the fact that I’m doing things I’d never normally do…it’s so rewarding to see how much stronger I’ve become. My only wish is that I’d discovered Polly years ago.”
So inspiring Helen! It’s been such a pleasure to see not only your strength and mobility grow, but your confidence and energy too.
It’s a joy to have you part of the community.
