Health Shack

Fabulous. Annette, the owner, is a god-send and so is the Health Shack. My husband has had 2 strokes and heart surgery and as well as building up his confidence he is also gaining strength. Annette is very knowledgeable in rehabilitation as well as supportive and giving valuable advice. Recommend a million times over.

Small, but a great setup inside, and staff are top notch and knowledgeable.

I joined Health Shack whilst awaiting double hip replacements and also suffering with fibromyalgia. I joined in the April and had my 1st replacement in the August. Annette and the team were fantastic with me. It was almost as if I had my own personal trainer. They worked with me, continually giving me options if certain exercises were too much for me, giving me new exercises specifically to target the areas that would help me recover from the surgeries. There were days when I was in so much pain that I really struggled to go, but persevered and it all paid off. I sailed through both replacements with no problems and was able to do all my rehab exercises with ease. I had the 2nd one done in March and am now 4 months on from that and am feeling better than I have felt in 2 years. The prehab was as important as the rehab, if not more so.I still have bad days with the fibromyalgia, but again the team are there to help me through this, being understanding and giving me more gentle routines to do, as exercising is so important with this condition.I would highly recommend the Health Shack to anyone who is suffering, not just the problems I have but they cater for so many different conditions. And as a member I have seen other members with a variety of conditions newly starting their journey, and to see their improvements is fantastic too.I really cannot recommend them enough!

Great place, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have had an arthritic knee problem for quite a while, been treated by doctors and chiropractors but Annette and her team have made my pain less now than for a long time. Cannot recommend health shack highly enough, just give it a try you will be amazed what they can do.

I truly can not find the words to say how valuable this lovely gym is to so many people.The staff are wonderful and know their stuff, they are also kind and careing and the people are so friendly.You all helped me to smile again and that helped more than you will ever know. Thankyou all xxx

The health shack is just brilliant the chilled out atmosphere and the friendly staff make every visit enjoyable. The workouts are tailored just for you so at no time do you feel under any pressure or intimidated which is very important. I highly recommend the health shack as they provide a specialist service which you wouldn't get at a normal gym. Whatever physical disability you may have the shack can and will provide the help you need to get you back on your feet and feeling good again.

I had Massive loss of muscle mass due to illness whuch prompted me to visit Health Shack.I was welcomed by staff and members who are all very friendly.Staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive, and were beside me for support at my weakest point.Annette the owner is a qualified and registered Occupational Therapist, andBev who works alongside Annette in the upstairs Gym (which is motorised) is also very knowledgeable and both add weights and extra exercises to make your workout more effictive, they make your visits as fun and upbeat as possible.Tom and Steph who are the instructors in the downstairs Gym make sure that you exercise in a controlled manner to get the best possible results too.Steph is a bundle of energy and joins in if not too busy which adds to the experience.I am more conscious of using my core and am thoroughly enjoying my journey back to strength and would absolutely recommend Health Shack to anyone.You can have a free trial to see if Health Shack is the right place for you.All I can say is give it a go.You never know it might be just what you are looking for.
