Gail

Be one of our Active People

Our Active People are folk just like you, who are now reaping the benefits of feeling fit and healthy!

Like Gail, who suffers with asthma as well as painful knees. She needed to strengthen her knees before a replacement operation, so she headed straight for our Live Active service after she was prompted to join by her daughter. She’s now full of energy, taking part in lots of classes each week, and has seen a vast reduction in her inhaler use.

And like Ryan, who’s feeling amazing having lost nine stone! His doctor recommended joining because he suffers with Fibromyalgia – a widespread body condition which causes pain. He’s never felt fitter and stronger, no longer has joint pain, and is excited for his future. Our staff have helped him overcome “a lifetime of trauma and intimidation around gyms and fitness”. The lack of judgement and the amazing welcoming energy from the whole team when he struggled and then returned a few times – especially from Jenny – have helped him overcome his barriers to feel better than ever before.

And if Gail and Ryan can do it, you can too!

Ryan’s Story

Ryan joined Active Tameside at a time when fitness felt intimidating and out of reach. Living with mental health challenges and a connective tissue condition affecting his joints, traditional gyms and personal training hadn’t worked for him in the past.

With support from the Active Tameside team, Ryan found a different approach. He was listened to, supported without judgement, and guided towards low-impact options like Aquafit that suited his body. Over time, his workouts were adapted to meet his needs, helping him build strength, confidence, and consistency.

Today, Ryan uses the gym independently and takes part in activities he once thought he couldn’t manage – something he credits to the tailored support and welcoming environment at Active Tameside.

Gail’s Story

Gail’s fitness routine was brought to a sudden stop after being diagnosed with a knee problem, forcing her to give up the high-impact classes she loved. Unsure how to stay active without causing pain, she turned to Active Tameside for guidance.

With support from the team, Gail began with low-impact exercises tailored to her condition and gradually built her strength at a pace that felt right for her. Alongside the physical benefits, she found a welcoming community and a supportive environment that helped her stay motivated.

Today, Gail continues to enjoy being active, knowing she can adapt her workouts as needed and progress with confidence — supported every step of the way by Active Tameside.

Tony’s Story

Before joining Active Tameside, Tony was around 16 stone with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and acid reflux. After committing to fitness classes like BODYPUMP and BODYCOMBAT, plus walking football and 5k runs, he transformed his health – losing over 5 stone, reversing his diabetes, and coming off all medication. The friendly support and varied activities at Active Tameside helped him change his lifestyle and wellbeing for good.

Fran’s Story

Fran has completely transformed her life with the support of Active Tameside. She feels the best version of herself – both physically and mentally. Being part of the community has given her stability, purpose, and a healthier relationship with food and exercise. Fran says she feels accepted, supported and has made lifelong friends through her fitness journey, with the gym now an important part of her life.

helping you to

live your best life.

My family experienced the Hyper Bowling last week. My children absolutely loved it and wouldn’t stop talking about it, it was such great fun & good how any age can win. I was impressed by the price and how clean everywhere was…

Lee Napier

The staff! I’d still use Active Hyde’s gym if the facilities were rubbish and the price was high. There is always a cheerful person on hand to provide help and advice, both on site and on the phone.

Mark

10/10 great facilities and location. Excellent instructors and friendly staff.

Janet

The gym and reception staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to assist… I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere that caters to all ages and abilities.

Mary Heaney

I am grateful to the staff at Tameside Wellness Centre for understanding my difficulties, especially since they are invisible. But believing and supporting and being kind to me has made me more determined to continue with my passion for life and remaining active as best as I can…
