Cardiac Pulmonary Training

Sam (age 48)

Since starting the exercise programme my mobility has improved and my over all strength has increased. In my left shoulder I had reduced range of movement but I have worked on it with certain exercises and now it moves more freely and is pain free....

In the few months I have attended Siobhan's class I have felt better and regained some of the muscle strength I was losing from being less active. My lung function has also improved since this time last year. The group is relaxed and friendly, the exercises and advice effective....

Margot (age 74)

My weekly exercise session with Siobhan Rogers has done wonders for my health. Though COPD is irreversible, my peak flow is much better than it was a year ago and I get less breathless. I also have more stamina and better balance. I get miffed with Siobhan when she pushes me to do more, but I must admit that I am fitter, suppler, and I even have hopes of getting slimmer....

Alice (age 62)

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...

Siobhan I would like to say a huge thank you for the pregnancy exercise's. My baby girl was born by normal birth, it was a short labour and right on time as it was her due date. I really believe the exercise contributed to an easier labour and its thanks to you that I am already back in my skinny jeans!! Thank you....

I was referred to Siobhan’s pulmonary rehabilitation group sessions about two years ago. Although challenging, Siobhan’s individual attention and direct feedback for improvement has made a significant difference to my breathing, fitness and personal wellbeing in general. While shielding during lockdown, Siobhan created virtual classes using Zoom. These were great as I didn’t miss out on the continuation. She also provided me with written instructions in order to repeat the training regularly at home. Subsequently, she created a video of...

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....

Siobhan Rogers is the teacher at the COPD Exercise programme that I attend at St Mary's community centre Islington. I suffer with chronic Emphysema and became very depressed when first diagnosed. The method, style and attitude of Siobhan to all of us that attend, and we are a motley group, is great. She gets involvement and commitment from everyone. I've never missed a session, other than holidays, and return suffering and needing having missed it. I now know how important...

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 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....
