Looking for BodyTone?….we’ve rebranded! We are now called the Wellbeing Studio!

Why have we renamed our studio?

Because recent studies by Innerva (our equipment suppliers), and customers throughout the UK, and Sheffield Hallam University have found that the benefits of regular use of power-assisted exercise equipment go beyond toning the body. It can also aid therapy, rehabilitation, self-care, weight management, and has many other reported benefits as well as help improve mental health.

EXERCISE MADE EASY FOR EVERYONE

Our Wellbeing Studio features Innerva* specialised seated and recumbent power-assisted exercise equipment. Unlike traditional gym equipment, these machines provide that extra bit of assistance to help users carry out the exercises. Whatever your ability, our 30-minute power-assisted circuit, can help keep you fit and healthy, tone and shape, and is fun and social too!

Our power-assisted equipment is gentle and ideal for people who:

  • Are you looking to manage weight, become stronger and tone.
  • Not used to regular exercise and looking for an alternative to a traditional gym environment.
  • Are rehabilitating from more short-term injuries, such as a fall or sports injury.
  • Have metabolic conditions such as obesity, and diabetes.
  • Have muscular skeletal conditions such as Osteoarthritis, and Back Pain.
  • Have neurological conditions, such as MS, Parkinson’s, and Stroke.
  • Need help to manage fatigue with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, ME, and Post Viral Fatigue.
  • Have cardio respiratory conditions such as heart disease, and respiratory conditions.
  • Are recovering or have recovered from health problems, such as cancer, or a stroke.
  • Are preparing for surgery.

My neighbour has a leaflet for BodyTone to come and have a taster. And I came and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So now I come three times a week and it’s a part of my life.

-Vera

It is an excellent way to keep fit without placing undue pressure on aging joints and muscles. It is also beneficial mentally partly, from the exercise itself, but also from the very varied discussions we have from time to time.

I would strongly recommend as an excellent way to keep fit both physically and mentally.

-Bill

I have been attending for 12 months now. I have a spinal cord injury and my functionality was very limited as a result of my injury.

It has helped me considerably, it has massively helped my range of movement and my walking has improved drastically. It has strengthened my muscles and was the right choice for me because the machines are assisted which helps you to get the exercise and range of movement you need, even if you are unable to achieve the movement yourself.

It is not just an exercise class but a community, a social circle. Both the members and staff are a family. It’s a great atmosphere with great conversation.

-Aaron

I came to increase my exercise and help with my flexibility and movements. The staff are so welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable I have learnt a lot. The whole community is brilliant.

We encourage and share things and I certainly have benefited from this. I thoroughly enjoy coming and having a chat and a social with other attendees who are my friends.

Keep up the great work

-Dawn

I enjoy my time at Bodytone, time to relax my mind whilst exercising my body. Everyone is friendly and the staff are helpful, they know when you wish to talk or have some quiet time. My muscles have toned up and I leave feeling much better. I may not have lost much weight but my body shape has changed

-Sue

Having had both knees and a hip replacement in the last few years, the beds have helped me redevelop my muscular strength and balance.

The staff here are fantastic and really helpful in suggesting other exercises to get the best out of each session. I just wish my mum had access to a similar set up where she lives.

-Julie

My general fitness, wellbeing and posture have all improved

It’s made a big difference to my arthritic hip. A very relaxed and friendly group and I always feel better in myself when I leave. A real boost to mental health as well.
