Naheed’s story - living with PTSD
“As soon as I’m active, that makes me much better mentally – much, more positive, even during lockdown. Now I go out of my way to make time to be active."
Real stories from people like you
Sometimes it’s hard to believe how much being active can improve your life. Sure, it all sounds good but will it really work for someone like you? The answer is yes, just look at all the people who have already changed their lives for the better by being more active.
We invited local people from our community to tell us their stories and share how being active has changed their lives for the better. Their inspiring stories are living proof of how people of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities can join and in and feel good. It’s the right fit for them, it could be the right fit for you.
Andy’s story - living with diabetes
“So, it’s worth getting into a more active lifestyle too. My diabetes is in remission. I feel better than I have in years. And if I can do it, so can you.”
Ron's story - living with COPD
"Nobody’s forcing you to do it. You just improvise. At home, you can go up and down the stairs a few times. Then take a break. If you do that each day, you slowly build up."
