Father Ally, a Reverend at St Bartholomew’s Church in Osmaston, has been honoured as the July Client of the Month for his inspiring health and fitness journey. Since joining Livewell's healthy lifestyle programme in October 2024, he has shed two and a half stone and revitalised his outlook on life.
Initially apprehensive about exercising, Father Ally found a welcoming environment with advisors Shaun and Marianna at the Derby Arena activation group. Through gentle and progressively challenging sessions, he experienced noticeable improvements in his health and wellbeing. The educational sessions empowered him to make healthier dietary choices, focusing on whole foods and balanced nutrition.
Despite winter challenges, Father Ally embraced walking and participated in classes, pushing himself to work harder and achieve his fitness goals. His newfound vitality enabled him to complete the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain and plan future adventures, including a hike in the Lake District and a walk across Spain.
Father Ally's story is a testament to the power of setting realistic goals and receiving the right support. His journey encourages others to take manageable steps towards their own health and fitness aspirations, proving that with determination and guidance, anything is possible.
Livewell advisor, Shaun Benning said: “It has been a pleasure to work with Farther Ally, his dedication and openness to learn has been admirable and I have no doubt he will continue to keep up the good work.”
