"So then I said to Jackie, why don't we do the cardio together and now we do that class and then another one."
Les and Jackie's Story
After retiring, Les and Jackie realised they were becoming less active, especially when simple tasks like getting out of the car were becoming a struggle. Encouraged by Jackie and family members, Les decided to try something new and signed up for a free Pilates session, despite never having stepped foot in a gym before.
That first class was a turning point. Les joined immediately and has continued ever since. As confidence and fitness improved, the couple added cardio classes to their routine, helping to boost mobility, strength, and overall health. The benefits have even contributed to improvements in Les’s health and reduced reliance on medication.
Today, exercise is an important part of their lives, providing not only physical benefits but also a strong sense of community. Their message to others is simple: give it a try. The classes are welcoming, supportive, and can make a real difference to your health and wellbeing.
That’s Les and Jackie’s story. What’s yours?
