Jamie is in the Gym

Sometimes in life, during periods of struggle, physical health can be put on the back burner, and exercise can be forgotten about. Through no one’s fault, this can cause weight gain, and when people start to recover from their struggle, they see a new version of themselves they may not be happy with. This was the case with our resident Jamie. Jamie is a fun person to be around and has a lot of character and recently expressed how he felt about his body and his weight and how he wanted to make a change, for himself, his family and his girlfriend. Jamie bravely, amidst the struggles he faces, stepped up and joined our local gym. He had doubts but he beat them away fiercely, banishing his inner demons who said he couldn’t do it. With the support of Activities Coordinator, Brandon (a sporty individual who is a regular gym goer) it’s a match made in heaven! Brandon and Jamie are now focussed on Jamie’s 3-day-a-week workout plan, and this is only the start. Together, they are working towards Jamie’s goal of getting stronger, fitter and more enthusiastic about his physical health. The strides he has recently made have been monumental for his physical and mental health. All of us at Plas Y Bryn want to encourage Jamie and help him along his newfound health journey (and hopefully Brandon might grow some muscles while he’s there as well!)
