Clinical Exercise

Outstanding Rehabilitation ProgrammeAfter a triple bypass open heart operation, I engaged Angela Hartley for a cardiac rehabilitation programme for five months. For the first months the weekly sessions were via video link and then at Angela’s practice.Angela’s approach was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. She regularly adapted a combination of exercise, cardiac and muscle training as well as psychological support to my physical and mental condition. This created a lot of motivation but most of all got me back on track very quickly. I can highly recommend Angela and her cardiac rehabilitation programme. I post this on behalf of my husband BR

Angela is a brilliant source of support as well as being extremely knowledgeable about exercising safely with cardiac issues. I came across Angela through social media last year and began one to one classes and with her around 6 months ago. She set me up with a program that we could change as I got better, which soon happened with her help. I now have the confidence to exercise on my own at home. I complete online workouts with Angela as my coach who is there if I have any issues and to advise on which workouts would be best for me. I’ve also gone back to walking long distances with hills!! And have even had the confidence to go back to some classes at my old gym. Things that may have taken me a lot longer to achieve without Angela’s support.

After a cardiac arrest in June 2019 I found post discharge support from the NHS non existent and like many people in this situation I was trying to understand what happened, and how I could get my life back on track. I am so glad I found Angela, she has been an immeasurable help in filling the knowledge gaps, improving my confidence, and not least my fitness. And to cap it all she is a smashing lass. Highly recommended.

I found Angela on social media when I was looking for someone to help me with exercise during the pandemic. Because of some problems with my autonomic nervous system I developed exercise intolerance and could not find an exercise programme that would be safe and challenging at the same time. Initially, I had 12 one to one sessions with Angela and she personalised my programme to match my health and fitness level and to work towards my goals. I have continued attending Angela's online Zoom classes and really enjoy exercise and my progress. I feel stronger and fitter. Angela is very knowledgeable and you always feel in good hands. She is a very genuine and fun person and she really cares about all her clients. Even the group classes have personal touch and everyone receives individual attention. I recommend Angela to anyone who has had health challenges and needs guidance to work back to fitness. It is possible.

Picking up the phone and speaking to Angela was the best call I’ve ever made! When we met my general fitness was in a dire state and being over fifty I thought it’s now or never!Angela’s enthusiasm and drive made me believe that I could achieve the goals that we set at the beginning. I went from not being able to run for a bus and struggling to climb flights of stairs to running a half marathon. The pounds started to disappear and before long friends and colleagues were commenting on my appearance. Also shopping became a pleasure as the sizes shrank.I can’t thank Angela enough for showing me that age is just a number and if you are willing to put in the work with diet and exercise the results can be amazing!

Before having my first introduction call with Angela I really had no idea that I would ever be expect to be exercising the way I do now. Relatively young at 49 having a heart attack I was so scared about the future.I found comfort that Angela’s experience was in cardiac nursing first hand and completely understood my medications, the dosages and my procedures. She put together a plan to get me going, I really was quite reluctant to start increasing my heart rate but found over a couple of sessions I was actually ok and put a smile on my face.I’ve had 2 x Six sessions with Angela already and have joined a gym to continue my path of recovery and new health.She provides such great advice, support and motivation, she’s also pretty funny which helps when your doing a 1 hour HIT session at her studio.Couldn’t recommend any higher, Angela has totally changed my view on my heart attack and given me the courage to get out there and enjoy my life again.

I totally recommend Angela. She has helped me to gain confidence to exercise safely and build myself up again. I feel far stronger and fitter than when I started. I’ve also gained a lot of knowledge about heart health.

Great session with Angela,Got back my confidence after the workouts feeling a lot more positive going forward.
