"These classes gave me huge confidence"

About: Belfast City Hospital / Oncology Oncology / Physical Activity Classes

(as the patient),

These classes were offered to me as a pre surgery programme, but have continued during my recovery, where they came into their own!

Joe’s classes are fantastic. They are very doable, and offer a very safe way to get yourself back to fitness after you have been ill. I spent many weeks in and out of hospital including a 5 day stint in ICU with a drain in my lung, and I thought I would never be fit again.

These classes gave me huge confidence, and Joe’s patient yet persistent approach were exactly what I needed.

I would encourage anyone who is offered this program to participate - it is well worth the effort.

Hi encryptionpn46

Thank you so much for taking the time to voice your thoughts on the service provided by our physical activity coach. It was so great to hear that you enjoyed Joe’s online classes and that they were beneficial both pre and post-surgery, helping with your recovery and confidence. Please continue to keep active and I will make sure to let Joe know about your great feedback.

Kind Regards
