What our members say

Heart Throbs has helped me maintain the fitness levels I achieved with the cardiac nurses before being discharged from hospital. I have also met new friends, and talking with them about their experiences during treatment has been invaluable.

David • three stents fitted

Heart Throbs has given me a steady fitness regime that has brought me to a standard of fitness that lets me resume my day-to-day life as fully as possible.

Bob • retired Medical Laboratory Scientific Officer, aortic valve replacement at The London Heart

The exercise classes have made me much fitter, which really helps my tissue valve.

Barrie • market trader, aortic valve replacement

Heart Throbs has helped by letting me do it in a group and meet people in a similar position.

Stanley • five stents fitted at The Royal Free, Hampstead

Heart Throbs has given me confidence and genuine friendship.

Peter • double bypass and mitral valve repair at Barts

Heart Throbs has kept me going.

Trevor • retired pharmacist, stents fitted at the London Chest Hospital

Regular, monitored exercise keeps me fit and, combined with a sensible diet, helps to prevent a recurrence of my problems.

Malcolm • former accountant who had angioplasty

I would suggest that anyone who has had a heart problem and has been through rehab contact Heart Throbs to continue their exercise. Ten years ago, when I was 70, I had two stents fitted and was told to keep up exercising. I have never looked back. I go twice a week, enjoy the company and the new friends I have made. My husband and I also find the monthly meetings really interesting.

Sylvia • a member for over ten years

I feel so much better after the exercise, and I love the company.

Dennis • three stents

Heart Throbs has helped me get fit and then stay fit.

Vic • retired roofing contractor, two stents fitted at Chase Farm
