Before joining our Shapemaster studio, John faced challenges walking, due to suffering a stroke many years ago, as well as a recent hip fracture in 2021. He has since been relying on his wheelchair for most activities, with limited mobility.

After just 3 weeks with us, John and his wife, Diane have noticed significant improvements in his flexibility and ability to walk independently. Our team have also noticed that John seems lighter and brighter within himself, as he is “dead chuffed” after seeing his progress so far. John feels more table and better able to manage his balance – thanks to his time on our Shapemaster equipment.

Diane mentioned that his progress has had a positive impact on both of them mentally stating, “It’s doing me, good not just John!”. She highlighted the social aspect of their memberships and how much it contributed towards their positive experience.

We recently witness John walking from his car to the studio using just a walking stick – something he has struggled to do before starting his membership! We are absolutely thrilled to see John and Diane’s ongoing improvement and can’t wait to follow their journey.
