Joy - 86 - Retired Nurse

“I knew my muscles needed to get stronger. I’m well past pension age, and I realised that if they got any weaker, it could really hold me back. That’s when I decided to join Push Pull Health.

Glynis - 71 - Retired Teacher

The focus isn’t just on lifting weights, although I enjoy that. (something I never thought I would say!)

It’s mainly on the outcomes of those activities, and I am moving better and feeling stronger. It’s about improving my health span so I can keep doing the things I love for years to come without feeling restricted by pain or stiffness.

So, if, like me, you are older and greyer than the people you usually see in a gym, Ben will give you the confidence to try things you may never have tried before!

Angie - 71 - Retired

I’m 71, and I could feel my strength starting to drop.

I’d tried other public gyms years ago and found them intimidating.

They were big, empty spaces where nothing was clear, and people weren’t terribly helpful.
After that experience, I avoided trying again.

What made the difference here wasn’t motivation–it was the environment.

It’s a private, intimate space with a small-group personal training setup, and it was easy to get started.

This has been a completely different experience from any gym or personal training I’ve tried before.

I don’t see this as a hobby.
I see it as an investment in my health.

Rebecca - 46 - Office Manager

“At 46, I’ve faced many challenges with my weight, including a failed gastric band.

After years of struggling with emotional eating and trying quick fixes without success, I was unsure of what to do next.

That’s when I found Ben at Push Pull Health in Herne Bay.

I’d tried busy commercial gyms in places like Whitstable and Canterbury with mixed results, but my lack of confidence and lack of a clear plan held me back.

Working with Ben has been a completely different experience.”

Olya - 35 - Care Home Manager

“What’s been especially helpful is the supportive environment that Ben has created for me, knowing my history of failed exercise attempts. His support and understanding have given me the confidence to stick with a routine that works, something I hadn’t been able to do before.

The personalised approach at Push Pull Health has given me the guidance I needed to stay on track, get stronger, and feel more confident in my own body. (I can now do push-ups, go me!)

I’m seeing the benefits of strength training combined with a more mindful approach to my diet, which has completely transformed my feelings about food and exercise.”

Shaun - 34 - Teaching Assistant

“If your goal is to lose fat, fit your clothes better, or simply feel better in yourself, I can’t recommend Ben from Push Pull Health enough!”

Liz - 46 - NHS Communication Manager

“Ben’s quiet encouragement and expertise in mobility and movement patterns ensured I could safely work around my medical issues.

He’s never been fazed by my challenge; whether it’s a random knee ache, a bad day where I’m close to tears, or my hesitation with new exercises.

The progress I’ve made in the gym is more than I dared to hope for, but the real impact has been outside the gym.

Whether it’s confidently striding out on a muddy walk, choosing to wear leggings without a baggy top, or simply feeling more comfortable in my skin, I feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in my daily life.”
