Testimonials

“Reaching Exercise’ taught me how to pick up items with my back in correct position to avoid straining my back. This alerted me to my back misalignment being an ongoing cause or constant lower back pain when sitting in particular. I now have an ergonomic kneeling stool and wish I could take it everywhere. The pain relief is bliss. The thumb and forefinger test by my specialist has become very easy since doing the ‘pegging’ exercise. Can’t wait to demonstrate to Professor Lewis’

I have been an active member of the Body Dynamics Gym for over 4 years. I have tried various exercise programs and gyms and have not stayed with any of them for very long. But Body Dynamics is different. It is a small, personal gym where members are known to staff, receive personalised programs and a friendly welcome. The staff are all qualified exercise physiologists who design and instruct clients with individual program’s suited to their fitness level and abilities. The individual’s program is continuously but gently upgraded. It is well equipped and I cannot speak highly enough of the services provided by Body Dynamics. Jean ‘It’s great. I’m beginning to move more easily’

I started going to Body Dynamics more than 6 years ago. The reason I chose Body Dynamics is that it has less hype than other gyms. There is no fancy gym attire and no loud music but instead professional exercise physiologists to draw up a personalised exercise program. If you need help with an exercise there is someone to give advice. I had never been one for joining gyms and instead tried to keep healthy with incidental exercise such as walking and gardening but as I got older this was not enough so I went to Body Dynamics to get exercises better targeted to my specific needs. Up to date I have remained healthy and so far medication free.

We cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Body Dynamics and the programs they offer. The well being of every client is their core business and we always feel valued as individuals with unique needs. Staff are always professional, courteous and friendly. The ‘Movers & Shakers’ Program designed for those with Parkinsons Disease was very beneficial for my husband and myself (as his carer)

I have attended Body Dynamics for several years in total for both myself and my daughter for the treatment of a chronic health condition. I cannot state how highly I think of Heidi and the team. Attending Body Dynamics was a hugely important part of my treatment plan. I now feel I have the resources to continue my programme on my own
