At Oxygym we let our members do the talking, these are real people who have achieved the results they set out to achieve. If they can do it then so can you.
George Botsie
George 29, joined Oxygym weighing in at over 24 stone. So heavy was George that he broke a
pedal on a cross trainer. "I was sick of my appearance and weight. Being over weight you must
be concerned about your long term health." With the support and guidance from the Oxygym team
George now weighs a little of 17 stone and is clearly delighted with the progress, "I've lost 10 inches
From my waist and I can now go shopping and buy 'normal' clothes of the peg, it's great!".
Phil Barker
A local government officer aged 46. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes four years ago and prescribed
medication to help control his condition. Phil suffered from memory loss and his weight ballooned
by over a stone. Phil decided to do something about it and joined Oxygym and was put on a cardio
programme. "I've lost a stone and a half in 2 months. I am no longer insulin dependant and I have so
much more energy and find it much easier to concentrate".
Christine Parry
Senior NHS employee Chris said "Throughout my life I have struggled with my weight. Despite having
a life threatening heart condition from childhood the formula for weight control eluded me. I developed
and under active thyroid gland which complicated matters further. Then in 1998 I had an operation to
correct my heart condition, by this time I weighed 20 stone. I was chronically tired and spent most
evenings sleeping on the couch at home. At 50 years of age I decided to join Oxygym. I have been a member
for 1 year and in that time I have lost 45 kilograms (over 6 stone).
When I started I could not walk up the stairs without getting out of breath, now I am doing 65 minutes cardio workout, 5 times a week, I feel great and have masses of energy. All the staff at Oxygym are helpful, supportive and there is never a sense of being judged by anyone. Everyone is addressed by their first name and the atmosphere at Oxygym is one of friendship and encouragement".
Terry Carney
Terry's sessions on the treadmill have completely rid him of chronic asthma. He suffered with
asthma. He suffered with asthma as a young boy, which came back with a vengeance last year. Continual
appointments at the Doctor's did little to help so he decided to do something about it and joined Oxygym.
"I joined Oxygym and followed a programme put together by one of the instructors, my health and fitness
began to improve virtually straight away. Now having been a member for only 4 months I can regularly
attend Oxygym without suffering any asthma symptoms.
I would definitely recommend any gym with the right expertise and support to those who wish to improve their overall fitness. It has been amazing, helping me cope with what can be a debilitating problem."
These are real people with real stories. We let our members tell you what they have achieved because you too can do the same.
