Managing my arthritic pain is so much easier now (I’m one of my Rheumatologist’s success cases).

I joined BodyTech office staff in August 2001. Previously I had not considered a gym as I was active in my sporting pursuits which played a big part in my life, this was until I was diagnosed with osteo-arthritis. It was an extremely frustrating time in my life. Dealing with this, family and holding down a job soon became extremely difficult.
My aching bones no longer allowed me the luxury of running or walking, so I had to resort to using the gym.
It took a long time for me to get used to gym life and initially it was not satisfying. After mentally accepting the fact that changes had to be made, I finally started making progress. I began to enjoy my workouts, accepted the help and support of trainers and began getting results, which further encouraged me to continue .
Two and half years ago my Rheumatologist stated that I was one of her Success Cases, such was the improvement in my condition over the period between visits.
A few months ago I had another check-up. My doctor was even more amazed. By strength training twice a week, my physical strength has increased which contributes to the reduced pain I continue to experience.

An additional plus is I actually enjoy the gym now. I get a buzz after my work outs, I 'm fit and I can eat what I like. BodyTech has taught me another route to staying healthy and active. The staff’s genuine interest in my progress and my goals has turned me into a gym bunny!
