TESTIMONIAL from Brenda in Welwyn Garden City
''I've been attending several of Suzina’s seated classes for over 7 years, following a stroke in my early 50s. It has been a lifesaver for my mental health, as well as my mobility and strength.
I've also met and made some lovely acquaintances and would highly recommend people to give it a go. You do the class to your own ability. After class you can stay for a cuppa and social too.''

Testimonial from Linda in Welwyn Garden City
''I moved to Welwyn Garden City, and was referred to a Falls Prevention Course by the NHS. Our Instructor was Suzina Blackman. The class was for strength, balance, mobility and also taught us how to get up from the floor.
When the course finished, I joined one of Suzina’s Chair Based Exercise Classes, which were open to the public. I then progressed to Strength and Balance classes taught by Suzina.
Now, 15 years later, the difference is amazing and I continue to attend. I walk about with much more confidence, my posture has improved and I have much more mobility in my joints, especially my shoulders.
I cannot praise Suzina enough for her teaching ability and encouragement.''

TESTIMONIAL from Bridget in Tewin
''I very much look forward to my class each week.
I have much better stability now and my legs are much stronger for climbing the stairs. I can also bend more easily. They are very sociable sessions and I have made new friends.
I thoroughly recommend Suzina's classes.''
