"It's been a life-changing moment for me." 💙

When Mal joined our PARiS scheme at Hazel Grove, he was looking for support after a cortisone injection for arthritis in his knee hadn't worked. With guidance from our team and his own determination, he's achieved an incredible transformation.

Here's what Mal had to say:

"I started in July after a referral from my physio who was treating me for arthritis in my knee. A cortisone injection had just failed to work, so it was suggested I try PARiS at my local gym, Hazel Grove.

After my initial consultation, I was introduced to James, who became my main point of contact, helping me with the equipment and my programme.

I started at 21 stone 12 pounds, and with the training I've been doing and by controlling my diet, I'm now 18 stone 12.

I've really appreciated the support from James whenever I've needed it, and I'd recommend the scheme to anyone who's referred. It's been a life-changing moment for me.

Dave and the team have been brilliant – always available to help or offer advice when needed. It's such a friendly environment with no expectations. You simply go at your own pace and do what feels comfortable. It's a great scheme."

👏 Well done, Mal! Your commitment and determination have been incredible, and we're so proud to have been part of your journey.

Looking for a fun way to get active and meet new people?

Badminton is the perfect mix of fitness, fun and friendly competition. It's easy to get started, suitable for all abilities and a great way to socialise while staying active. Whether you're returning to the court or picking up a racket for the first time, there's never been a better time to give it a go.
