Your Instructor
My Mission is to help people just like you who have had a cancer diagnosis and want to feel better about themselves and would like to exercise but aren’t sure where to start.
The programme is led by Jo, our in-house fitness instructor. Jo, has experienced cancer treatment first-hand and knows how powerful exercise can be in recovery.
If structured exercise feels too soon, come along to our Peer Support Group, 11:30am-12:30pm every 3rd Tuesday at Zest, a safe space to share, connect, and rebuild confidence at your own pace.
