Here to help at Better Gym Mere Green

Believe it or not but it's not every day we hear the positive impact coming to Better Gym Mere Green has for our members- and then comes a story which reminds both staff why it is we do the jobs we do and  to the members the benefits taking care of our health has and just why we need it even if we dont expect it.

Reopening in April of this year was brilliant news for staff and members alike- seeing familiar faces and returning to a routine that has a big role in all who regularly attend the gym.

But its one member in particular that brought their attention to Duty Manager Connor that stood out.

Stephen has been attending the gym for the past few years with the support of Connor who enroled Stephen when he first started.

After returning following the last closure of the gym Stephen told Connor of his unexpected emergency bowel surgery last year where he was rushed in to hospital via ambulance for an emergency operation. Stephen said he was told by the surgeon that "one of the reasons i survived was that I was fit and had a strong heart" to which Stephen wanted to personally thank Connor for "signing me up a few years ago- you often never know the big blessings which come from the seemingly routine"

It is great to see Stephen back regularly using the gym and to hear he is doing well. It's never too late to start your fitness journey and you can never underestimate the value of just doing something!
