Get Me Back: Sarah Newman, Cancer Fitness Specialist

I was an active and fit 50 year old when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2021. Having to surrender control to health professionals and give in to the physically tough side effects of the treatment (multiple surgeries, chemo, radiotherapy and hormone treatment) was and still is tough. I was desperate to find specialist fitness support post treatment to help me feel like me again. And I found Sarah. Her 8 week course was just what I needed to rebuild myself physically and mentally. ...

I really appreciate Sarah's wonderful classes and feel as though they have had a positive impact on me during / post cancer treatment physically and mentally. Thank you :)

I did an 8 week course with Sarah 4 months after my surgery, and while I was I undergoing chemotherapy. I was very active before my surgery and wanted to get fit again and build strength, but was nervous about how to do so safely. Sarah’s 8 week course was brilliant, and it was absolutely perfect for me.
