RESTORE YOUR HEALTH

We are not a regular gym

Instead we offer specialist programmes to support your journey back to health and fitness following illness, injury or inactivity. At Merlin Fitness, you can take part in a wide variety of classes specifically designed for those with longer-term medical conditions. Whether you have had a heart attack or stroke, received a diagnosis of cancer, COPD, diabetes, or have any other health concerns, we have the knowledge and experience to help.

Many of our programmes are specifically designed for 55 – 85 year old men and women living in the Plymouth area. Train with your peers, get more active, and put a stop to the effects of ageing. Getting older shouldn’t mean that you are less able to enjoy an active life. We empower to you for a lifetime of independence & fitness!

Meet Tracey

*Tracey joined Merlin Fitness following a deterioration in her health and some unexplained symptoms which derailed her previously good fitness levels. After few months with us, she had made remarkable progress, her mobility and flexibility improved dramatically, and she was able to vastly reduce her reliance on pain medication to make it through each day. Her journey is far from complete, but she is moving forwards with a new found enthusiasm and positivity.

“Just over a year ago I was stopped in my tracks. Practically overnight I went from being relatively fit and healthy, to having severe muscle and joint pain and stiffness. Following a lengthy process of visiting my GP and various other doctors, I was told that little could be done except to continue with the pain relief.

Previously I had been exercising 3-4 times a week, and I tried to continue for as long as possible, but it all became too much physically and psychologically so I stopped exercising all together. I knew that I needed to find additional exercise that would offer me the benefit of improving my bone density, along with strengthening my muscles. Then I heard about Merlin Fitness, and after reading about Beth and her journey I knew I had found what I was looking for. After a chat with Beth, who showed genuine interest in me and my condition, I decided I had nothing to lose!

I started a few months ago and have gone from strength to strength. I have improved stamina and strength, have greater flexibility in my joints and muscles and it has made a huge difference to my mental health and wellbeing. What is so good about the exercise class is the variety of exercises you do, each class is different in some way and they are small enough in number so that Beth can keep a close eye on how you are moving and correct you if you aren’t doing the move quite right. I know I am not cured but I am a long way ahead of where I was 12 months ago or even 1 month ago, here’s to the future!”
