Cardiac Pulmonary Training

Rose - North London

I had a doctors appointment regarding my lung condition and had my yearly spirometry test and the doctor was very pleased with my improvement and he asked me what I had been doing! I told him it's my exercise class I do with Siobhan very week and he said keep up the good work as I have never seen such improvements in a spirometer test! Well done!...

When I had completed Pulmonary Rehabilitation Classes it was suggested that should I wish to continue with these exercises I should contact Siobhan Rogers at the Royal Free Charity Rehabilitation Club right next door to the hospital. This I did and the weekly attendance at her classes has become essential. To paraphrase Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar : “ She is constant as the Northern star “ Always on time, ebulliant, and on the very few occasions when I have been the...

Now in my mid-70s, I have a long history of chronic COPD and severe arthritis with bi-lateral hip replacements. Having been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer the previous month, I joined Siobhan’s classes in May 2015, keen to get and remain as fit as possible. The classes exceeded my expectations. I found them far superior to the classes I had previously experienced, and excellent value for money. Siobhan’s approach is highly competent, structured and well organised. She is very professional,...

I have never been much of a fan of structured exercise so it is something of a surprise to me that I enjoy the breathe easy classes led by Siobhan. I find Siobhan to be always cheerful, extremely encouraging and very patient. She makes a great effort to explain each of the exercises, is always happy to find an alternative if there is a particular exercise that you can't do and generally encourages you throughout the class. She takes time...

When I was referred to pulmonary rehabilitation I was in denial that exercise would help my lung condition. I am pleased to say that after my first exercise session with Siobhan I felt the benefit, I had more energy after the class. Over the last year I have seen improvements in my health, I have more energy to do daily tasks, I go out more where as before I used to avoid going out due to my lung condition. Since...

I was in Siobhan's exercise class for about 6 years. It was one of the things I did that kept me going - I am now 85, soon to be 86, but it kept me supple and as fit as one can be at my age. And for that I do thank you very much Siobhan....

I attended exercise classes given by Siobhan Rogers from 2007 to 2014, when I had to stop due to lack of transport. These were classes for the over 50's, called "Healthy Bones". They were partly sitting, and partly standing, and Siobhan worked all our muscle groups and joints. I am now in my mid 80's and since ceasing the classes I have developed one ache or pain after another, the worst being "plantar fasciitis". And I am sure these would...

I would like to express my gratitude to Siobhan Rogers of CardiacPT for being part of the excellent program of physio and neuro-physio she has undertaken on a weekly basis with my mother, Ruth, who is now ninety one, in her care home. Before Siobhan’s involvement Ruth, after a stroke and rehab, was having regular falls about once a month, which were just accepted on the basis that ‘falls happen’. This eventually landed Ruth in hospital with a nasty injury...

Thank you for all the time and care you gave me and my body these last six months. I do feel an improvement in my health and general strength. When we had to transition to zoom sessions I got very discouraged since I like the in person experience. However you slowly helped me adapt to this new way of exercising. You provided the regular verbal encouragement and making sure that all the normal check ins still happened. I guess in...

I have been attending Siobhan Rogers' weekly Cardiac Pulmonary Exercise class since November 2016. Siobhan is a wonderful teacher. She makes sure that we perform the exercises correctly and gives help where needed. She has a pleasant manner and I think is liked by everyone. She is hoping to restart the class in October 2017. I look forward to that. Meanwhile I wish her all the very best for the future....
