"Since moving to France 6 years ago my fitness levels started to slide. There are so many things to do that I never take time to look after myself. So I contacted Pat at Potential Energy. She carried out a very professional and comprehensive health and fitness check up which was also good fun and enjoyable. Afterwards I received a written evaluation and seeing things in black and white really was an eye opener. I found it a very positive motivational tool.

Areas of improvement were clearly identified and manageable goals were put in place for my fitness programme and realistic targets were set for weight loss. A follow up assessment showed a huge improvement in fitness and overall I have lost 13kgs.

I found Pat's attitude really refreshing, she really works hard to make sure that you have fun while you are trying to achieve your targets. Huge emphasis is also placed on making sure that you make real lifestyle changes that are really sustainable. So, in short, I'm much fitter and healthier with Pat's help and I've had fun doing it."

Fitness Over 40

We’re all getting older, but healthy aging is active not passive. The older we become, the more important fitness becomes to life’s quantity and quality – whatever your current level of activity.

It’s not about spending hours in the gym, it’s about getting out there and having a good time!

Fitness can have many positive effects on your health and wellbeing, such as:

Gaining vitality
Losing weight
Improving and maintaining your muscles (this helps to speed up metabolism as well)
Preventing diabetes – or reduce dependency on diabetic medication
Preventing high blood pressure – or reduce dependency on medication for hypertension
Promoting bone density to avoid osteoporosis – this also applies to the boys!
Avoiding depression and feeling ‘good’ – the ‘blues’ and exercise don’t mix!
Feeling more self-confident
Remaining independent for longer
