"2 years ago, I would never have thought I'd be saying this, I was just wallowing in my pain..."
"I've been off work now for 9 months, due to mental health.
"I have Fibromyalgia, which means a lot of constant pain. I have patches on my arms which pumps through 200mg morphine through my body every hour."
"Sitting with pain doesn't help, but then, you also don't really want to move because it hurts. So it can be difficult."....
"When I first started here. I found it quite difficult and quite painful. But at the initial assessment I told them what I wanted to get from it."
"They modify and tailor the exercises for you. So if one week, I'm in a lot of pain they'll make sure they change the exercises for you."
"Exercise helps. Especially the boxing. I get to take any aggression out."
"My shapes has change quite a bit. For my mind, it's given me a focus and I leave feeling like a new person. It's been amazing."
"I'm stronger and healthier."
"I found that I enjoy going to the gym again. As you soon as you open the door, everyone turns around to say hello."
"It's really helped with my mind as well as my pain though."
"It's the camaraderie of the people - theres no pressure and everyones around the same sort of age as well.."
