Medical Conditions

80% of deaths in the UK today are caused by inactivity, leading to increased health risk factors (such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, depression, etc).

Wright Foundation 2004

Personal training is particularly appropriate for people dealing with health problems.  Safe, tailored programmes of physical activity can minimise risk factors and improve general wellbeing.  For example, medical research has demonstrated a strong link between increased exercise and reduced blood pressure.
