Meet Nicky from Brentford, who’s completely turned things around after joining the BetterPoints Hounslow challenge.
“Before this, I was basically sitting at home doing no exercise, feeling physically and mentally drained,” Nicky says. After a serious motorbike accident, ongoing heart problems and epilepsy, having to stop work, and then a heart attack just three months ago, his physical and mental health took a huge hit. “My body and my muscles were pretty much non-existent.
That’s when Nicky decided to give the gym another go and started using the BetterPoints app.
Since starting to use the gym and using the BetterPoints app, I’m now getting out of the house most days doing some form of exercise. I’m feeling better in myself physically and mentally.
The change has been dramatic. Nicky has gone from being inactive to being active 6 days a week. Even more powerfully, he’s stopped smoking and is seeing real improvements in both his mental and physical health.
I’m now active most days, and I’m dramatically improving my mental and physical health.”
If Nicky can do it after everything he’s been through, so can you. Start taking small steps that add up to big changes.
