Just a message to say a big Thank you to Mike at Rotherham United Community Trust who runs many classes for Rotherham Healthwave. I attend the weekly TRX sessions which I’ve never tried before and I am now completely hooked on the benefits. It’s a friendly relaxed group for which Mike is always on hand to support and give advice. This session has helped my mental and physical health, and given me the motivation to also go swimming and running.

Currently in week 8 of the journey and so far I feel improvement in myself, especially in my mind as well as my body. Although the weight loss is gradual (sometimes I gained a little), I am making healthier choices and taking and taking in better nutritional value and vitamins. I have learned a lot and would like to see these programmes offered for longer periods.

Since going to the Healthwave program I can breath much better than I did and I have lost a stone in 6 weeks. Dawn my tutor is a very good tutor, thanks to her I have stuck to the weight loss advice and I would recommend her to anyone

I found the signing up process and booking the classes easy, although I have learned to book early as classes fill quickly. I have been swimming at Wath Leisure Centre On my first visit the member of staff taking my details was polite, cheerful and very helpful ( has continued the same every week) explaining all classes which were available. After having a second knee replacement, I had muscle wastage on that leg. I can definitely see an improvement and feel that swimming is beneficial for me.

I think the programme has been really good and I have thoroughly enjoyed attending the spin classes and loved that it's been free, so it has motivated me to go and try and lose weight. I attended Boogie Bounce the other week as these have recently been added on to the app. Emily is a great instructor full of energy and motivation. Healthwave has been a real boost since my wife passed away. The activities ease my sadness and worry. I have enjoyed table tennis best, they are a good crowd

I would just like to thank you for inviting me to join the Rotherham Healthwave scheme. As someone who finds things quite difficult at times, the sessions have been a boon. They have many positives for my overall health and wellbeing. I have chosen to attend the weekly swim at Wath and the Tai Chi at the Stadium in Rotherham, both of which make me feel calmer and less anxious. I would not have attended a Tai Chi course in any other setting. I am dyspraxic and find things requiring patterns difficult to master. I am also unsure of myself in new situations. This beginner’s group has therefore been ideal for me. I would not be confident to join another, more advanced group.

A very sociable friendly group. One aspect covered per week and explained in an easy to understand way. Find the sessions non-threatening. Really enjoy the sessions and reducing weight slowly, but surely

Dawn's sessions are always informative and helpful, anything she doesn’t know she is always happy to find out. The sessions are always enjoyable and are the only classes I’ve ever continued to attend.

I am enjoying the group so far. Dawn explains things in an easy to understand way. I have started to make changes. The group is friendly and motivational. I am looking forward to learning more.

I feel confident in the group, great health coach, feel positive about bettering my life.

I think Dawn is so lovely and supportive and I feel better in myself doing this course. I am enjoying being more healthy.

I just wanted to message and say thank you so much for letting me be part of your Tuesday morning session. I learnt so much which I have put into practise at home and I feel so much healthier and have much more of an understanding of food and their benefits. You taught our group so much, but also had a caring and great understanding of people's needs. I will miss our chats and counselling sessions 🙂 and can't tell you how much I appreciate your help and input. You are an asset to your workplace and I'm sure many more people will benefit from your help and advice in the future. Take care and thank you again,
