We love hearing from our clients, and this review from Patricia truly made our day!
"I started working with Drakes gym and specifically Wayne with a few assists from Ben a couple of years ago. I had just recently moved to the UK and was finally established and knew that I would be staying for an extended period of time and I wanted to get healthier. I was facing shoulder surgery and the doctor told me that to avoid that I would have to work really hard at strenghtening my shoulder muscles. I decided that one of the things that I would do was going to be pilates. I had done it before and I knew how great it was for low impact resistance training, and I could barely move my shoulder at the time. I have also done strength training with Wayne. I did a lot of research before finding Wayne and knowing that he was the right fit to help me on my journey. It took 18 months for the surgeon to say that I no longer needed surgery, if I kept it up. At 53 I am proud to say that I lost 30 kilos, it took 3 years, and that I am the strongest and healthiest that I have ever been. I couldn’t have done it without his patience, attention and care to my injuries (I also have a very bad right ankle and issues that came with that). It was a slow and steady progress. I wish that people had told a long time ago, that as a woman of my age, I needed to do strength training, and I wish that I had started sooner but, I can’t believe the accomplishments that I achieved in trying to avoid surgery. I went from 42% body fat to 28% and I gained muscle. The InBody check-ups were very motivating to me.
I have hypothyroidism and for the first time since 1998, they have lowered my dosage and I am on half a pill every other day. I can’t thank Wayne and Ben enough for what they have helped me achieve."
A huge thank you to Wayne and Ben for their dedication and guidance—your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed! 👏
