Steve has for several years worked in co-ordination with Cornwall Hospital Treliske in enabling a facility for those who have undergone cancer treatment. His diligence, and organisation has been second to none, and has adopted a sympathetic approach to fitness. He does not push, but advises the best fitness tasks suitable. All of this he does with a cheerful approach, and concern.

I had a radical prostatectomy a few years ago, and since then have undergone a six week course of radiotherapy and investigations re. bladder problems. I’ve been attending the gym twice a week for nearly two years now, and the benefits are many. Improvements in my physical fitness are definitely noticeable with improvements in muscle tone and some loss of weight. I am sure this has assisted significantly in my post-operative recuperation and certainly motivates me to keep going. The supervision and advice from Steve Winnan really helps in developing an individual exercise regime which in my case has gradually increased in scope. One of the unexpected benefits has been the growth of friendships amongst the regular gym members – most of whom are men “of a certain age”, who often meet afterwards for coffee etc.

I was diagnosed with stage four tonsil cancer (HPV) infection in March 2018 and underwent 6 weeks of aggressive daily radio therapy and 6 weeks of chemo therapy. Although I get the welcome "all clear" in September, the months of inactivity (coupled with an unwelcome bout of sepsis) meant I had severe muscle wastage and a lack of general fitness and weight loss. Steve prepared me a custom based programme aimed at building up muscle base and increased general fitness and the benefits are remarkable. Not only have I put on weight in a controlled manner, my muscles have toned right up. I'm now back playing golf twice a week and even winning some money. My golfing pals now refer to me as Lazarus!
