Brenda’s Story

Hi, my name is Brenda, and my journey began in February 2025. When I first started, I was using a Zimmer frame after injuring my knees. The exercises I had been given by my GP weren’t making much of a difference, and I was struggling with my mobility.

I decided to try the classes at the Sports Centre, and one session on the Spinning® bikes made a huge difference. After just one class, I was able to walk without my frame—something that would likely have taken weeks with the exercises I’d been given.

From Zimmer to Spinner — Brenda has rebuilt her strength, mobility, and confidence at KSC.

Since then, my flexibility has improved significantly, and my legs and overall fitness are much stronger. I now attend around 10 to 11 classes each week and continue to improve all the time. Looking back, I only wish I’d started sooner.

Since joining, I’ve lost around a stone and a half in weight and gone from a size 18–20 to a size 12–14. The changes in both my fitness and confidence have been incredible.

The staff have been so helpful and caring throughout my journey, and their support has made a real difference.

The photos above are a reminder of just how far I’ve come.
