Naheen, one of our Wellbeing Coaches has been working with Burngreave Surgery for a while now, delivering group gym sessions at their Cornerstone Gym. Here's an idea of what you can expect at the gym:
People who attend the Cornerstone Gym are Burngreave Surgery patients who want to lose weight, and often have diabetes and pain. We have a men's only session on Mondays and women only sessions on Wednesdays. We have a female instructor from Sheffield United for the Wednesday sessions, and instructors from both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United for the Monday session.
Attendees have said that they have found the sessions really useful and want more sessions at Cornerstone Gym! The instructors are really friendly and cater for the needs of all individuals, making sure everyone is able to do all the exercises.
Faisal from Sheffield United Football Club says:
"Naheen has been brilliant and supportive in trying to make a difference in our community. She always makes herself available to offer guidance and the care as well as the understanding of what the community requires. She has been the driving force behind the establishment of Pitsmoor Gym located in Burngreave Cornerstone. These weekly sessions are essential to our participants physical health as well as mental wellbeing."
Florent from Sheffield Wednesday Football Club says Naheen is... "always prepared to make people feel welcome and you are also in a uplifting mood which helps participants. The fact that you know the community and are multi lingual is a massive positive, especially with the potential participants who have a language barrier."
