FIGHTING FIT

"I cannot express how Fighting Fit has helped me."

"I truly believe that my experience living with Cancer would be totally different without this."

"From the very first session, arriving with ‘No Hair’ and a baseball cap, you made me feel like I had a life worth living and fighting for. 

Don’t get me wrong - it was tough and I was nervous …what would people think / say and would I meet anyone who understood! 

Everyone Understands!"

"Yes I may come across sometimes as the ‘class clown’ but hey we only have one life and when you face adversity .. your mind set changes and you live for everyday."

"I have made some ‘lifelong’ friends who all get it! 

We are all living our best lives and with you at the helm - you are an inspiration to each and everyone of us!"

Thank you!

I love our Fighting Fit sessions. They are fun, brilliant for us physically and emotionally. Our instructor, Phill Watson is incredibly motivational and the exercises are devised so that you feel able to push yourself just that bit harder. You always feel he has time to listen and genuinely cares about each and every one of us.

My posture, balance and confidence have improved tremendously. I try to practice at home as suggested!

Fighting Fit=motivation, exercise, friendship and fun!!

“I joined Phill and his team at Fighting fit at Yarborough Leisure Centre eight weeks after major surgery. Not only did the class help me regain my pre surgery fitness, but the whole team are an inspiration with fun and fitness at the fore!”

“Attending Fighting Fit helped me to recover from surgery, to manage side effects from my treatment, and has given me back a sense of well-being. I’ve also found emotional support from a group of fantastic new friends which has rebuilt my mental health.”

“Fighting Fit has helped me rebuild balance, strength, confidence and taught me to manage side effects of my treatment, and the support of everyone has restored my mental health. It’s been a lifeline for me.“

"After being diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergoing chemo and radiotherapy, I felt that it was important for me to try and get fit to fight the big C. When I joined fighting fit it not only gave me an opportunity to get fit but also to meet a great group of people who were undergoing treatments of various kinds. The social interaction and humour is like a cloak to surround you with comfort in such a trying time. Phill has been such a great guide in achieving this (despite his sometimes questionable music tastes) by encouraging us to push ourselves but within our limits."

“Since starting fighting fit, I have seen a huge improvement in my fitness, strength, stamina and mental health. I have had the pleasure of getting to know more people in a similar situation to myself which has helped me realise I’m not alone in living with this condition.

Phil is a fantastic instructor and a real asset to the program. Long may it continue."
