Welcome

Who am I?  

My name is James Heath, I have been in and involved with the fitness industry for 20 years. In that time frame I have held multiple roles from gym instructor, life guard, front of house and memberships, duty manager, assistant club manager, all the way through to self-employed group exercise instructor and personal trainer/health coach.

The roles that brought me the most satisfaction were where I was able to help individuals  make positive lifestyle changes that not only improved 'fitness' levels but most importantly improved the overall quality of their lives through a combination of physical activity, healthy eating habits and increase their mental resilience to cope with challenges and difficulties that life can throw up at times.

Having taken time away from the industry after the loss of my mum to cancer and COPD to heal and re-focus on my goals and ambitions in life. It really was a no brainer as to what I want to do going forwards and that is to improve and maintain quality of life for as long as possible.

If you have or know someone with a long term health issue/condition and need some advice or support please do get in touch.

What is Heath's Health:

My aim for Heath's Health is to improve the quality of life for as many people as possible by encouraging, supporting and helping people to lead and live healthier happier lives.

I intend to do this by providing a service that is primarily based around exercise, good nutritional food, group activities and most importantly by treating people with the respect, compassion and dignity we all deserve throughout our lives.

Yes I am trying to sell my services as a fitness professional which will produce results more effectively and efficiently than going it alone, but I will all so share information, hints, tips and exercises to help get you started. Videos coming soon.

With my own personal experiences of living with unfavourable health conditions. Type 1 Diabetes, Hip dysplasia causing osteoarthritis now requiring double total hip replacements, anxiety/panic attacks following the terminal diagnosis of my late mum. 

As well as living with my late mum who had as she described herself a shopping list of problems> lung and thyroid cancer, severe COPD with increased risk of respiratory failure and C02 retention, osteoporosis, eating disorder, PTSD, polycythaemia...

Having lived with and experienced the fall out and treatments from and for these conditions/illnesses I feel gives me an ability to truly understand the challenges these conditions/illnesses present even on the best of controlled and managed days. Not to mention the number of 'Fitness Professionals' who turn these people away due to not having the experience or knowledge to help. Is truly frightening and sickening.
