Tickers Cardiac Support Group

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable & supportive class.Helped me rebuild my physical & mental abilities.

Fantastic experience: Following my heart attack in 2003 I have been going to weekly Tickers sessions. This increased to twice weekly when they became available about four years ago. Each session is excellent value and beneficial - I miss it when I'm not able to attend. Members are able to exercise at their own pace and ability under proper and careful supervision, and for most of us is a good social gathering where you can easily make friends. I would recommend Tickers to all heart patients.

Fantastic experience: Since joining about 9 years ago I have become more flexible and have much more stamina , it’s a very sociable group, great music to exercise to , led by a very experienced instructor !

Fantastic experience: Tickers was recommended for follow on activity by the cardiothoracic rehabilitation team at Broomfield Hospital. I opted for the circuit based exercises and am pleased that I did. The sessions are well organised with a variety of exercises. The atmosphere is positive and the participants are always friendly. Group based activities provide motivation that individually based activity might not. The trainer Joe designs the sessions, selects the playlist, is on hand to provide support and clear guidance, and is always positive and encouraging. He is excellent. I am glad I joined Tickers and enjoy the sense of well-being after every session.

Fantastic experience: Good controls by the organisers. Hospital approved and regulated trainer, the programme of exercise is updated regularly. Having attended this group for several years I can only say that it has improved even further on a previously successful formula of after care for heart problem patients.

Negative experience: I joined Tickets in 2012 after heart valve surgery it was probably the best thing I could have done, it made me turn up and keep my whole body moving. I don’t go to get fit , I’m past that, I go to keep mobile you do as much or as little as Like. The other huge plus is you meet people who have been through the same problems as you and are doing well All in all I am sure it works so pop along and see Trevor Lodge

Fantastic experience: When I was young I used to play netball regularly a few times a week. As time went on this ended and my fitness was a struggle. My husband started to go following having a heart attack and after some time he suggested that I go with him. I cannot believe my fitness since going and really enjoy it. It has not only aided my physical ability but my mentality too. Considering our age (in our 70's) we are really fit and thoroughly enjoy going. The people who go are all very friendly and the ones that run it are incredible, giving their time to keep us all fit. I thoroughly recommend having a go..........

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been made very welcome at Tickers, my husband had heart problems and had never been to an exercise class he still has no co ordination but is not made to feel awkward we both enjoy going to Tickers

Fantastic experience: I have been attending a TICKERS group for about 4 weeks and I would thoroughly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Tickers since 2018 following a heart attack and it has enabled me to get fit and stay fit. You can work to the level you feel comfortable with supervised and led by a qualified trainer.

Fantastic experience: After having a Heart attack and having treatment at Bart's hospital London then doing six weeks rehabilitation at Broomfield hospital I still felt I needed motivation to do exercise to prevent a reoccurrence, I'm glad to say I was put in touch with tickers, I now go every week, I'm not just happier with my health but am glad to say found a new group of like-minded friends
