Our Wellness Suite at Clay Cross Active has been proving a big hit with customers.

The suite, which has power-assisted equipment, is suitable for all fitness levels and is ideal for those who are less mobile, suffering from illness or undergoing post-operative rehabilitation.

Take a look below to see how our customers are enjoying and benefitting from using the suite:

Jane’s story

Jane has been visiting the Wellness Suite since July 2025.

Jane said: “I’d describe it as a gym for someone who can’t do the gym and that suits me just fine.

“It’s very friendly, the staff are really helpful and encouraging. People you meet are chatty or not, it just depends, and altogether it’s not in any way intimidating.”

After a total knee replacement seven years ago and problems with her spine, she believes her condition has been helped by the exercise she’s been doing.

Her son, who hadn’t seen her for a while, also commented she was walking straighter.

Rachel’s story

Since losing her husband, Rachel, who is in her mid-80s made it her mission to get healthier and the Wellness Suite has been perfect in helping with her wellness journey.

Rachel said: “I love it! I am a gym person, but I’d vegetated for a while and not done a lot because I’ve had a lot of family difficulties. Anyway, I’m nearly back into the swim and I’m also doing a gym programme as well so I’m trying to get fit again.

“I’m really enjoying it and it’s made me more relaxed and physically stronger.

“The staff are superb. You can’t fault them. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

“It’s a really nice and social doing you good kind of atmosphere. It’s great.”

Val’s story

Val was recommended to come and try the Wellness Suite by her son and she’s not looked back.

Val said: “You can do as much or as little as you want. Do it at your pace and you gradually build up.

“I’m glad I came. I’m glad my son encouraged me to come. It’s brilliant.

“The staff are brilliant and I’ve made friends.

“I’ve never been to a gym in my life, or done anything, but as soon as I came I was relaxed. Everyone was nice.”

Coral’s story

Coral found out about the Wellness Suite while swimming in the pool at Clay Cross Active and has been visiting ever since.

Her new-found fitness now lets her push her wheelchair herself

Coral said: “I don’t have full use of any of my limbs properly and so being able to just hold onto a machine that moves you at first was amazing. I’ve never had an opportunity of anything like that before.

“It makes your muscles stronger, everything feels much better. For me especially it moves parts of my body I can’t move myself.”
