I was recently a haematology inpatient in Belfast City Hospital for around 3 months. I was referred to Joe for support in maintaining my physical fitness during a long stay in hospital.
I started Joe’s program during a period of intense chemotherapy. At the beginning I was pretty anemic so struggled to get through the sessions without feeling breathless and lightheaded. Unfortunately this meant I had to stop the first few sessions before getting through all the exercises. Joe was very understanding and good humoured about my limitations.
The sessions with Joe were great for keeping me active while on the ward. Joe also provided a YouTube video so I could keep up my fitness throughout my stay. I also found the sessions beneficial for my mental health as they gave me a goal to focus on. Joe is an excellent coach - super encouraging and motivating!
