Cardiac Pulmonary Training

Kevin Mullan

I was referred to Siobhan’s pulmonary rehabilitation group sessions about two years ago. Although challenging, Siobhan’s individual attention and direct feedback for improvement has made a significant difference to my breathing, fitness and personal wellbeing in general. While shielding during lockdown, Siobhan created virtual classes using Zoom. These were great as I didn’t miss out on the continuation. She also provided me with written instructions in order to repeat the training regularly at home. Subsequently, she created a video of...

Now in my mid-70s, I have a long history of chronic COPD and severe arthritis with bi-lateral hip replacements. Having been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer the previous month, I joined Siobhan’s classes in May 2015, keen to get and remain as fit as possible. The classes exceeded my expectations. I found them far superior to the classes I had previously experienced, and excellent value for money. Siobhan’s approach is highly competent, structured and well organised. She is very professional,...

In the few months I have attended Siobhan's class I have felt better and regained some of the muscle strength I was losing from being less active. My lung function has also improved since this time last year. The group is relaxed and friendly, the exercises and advice effective....

Siobhan's pulmonary classes are very focussed and results-oriented yet totally pleasurable. She tailors the exercises to the precise needs of each participant, is constantly vigilant as to what each individual is doing throughout the class and issues frequent reminders as to goals, making sure the exercise is right and that not a second is wasted. She monitors progress all the time and provides the best possible motivation to get the most out of the class....

I decided to keep exercising during my pregnancy and to start as early as possible. I found Siobhan via her website and double checked her diploma on the REP website. It was important for me to trust the trainer and be confident she would know exactly what to do, and not to do with the specificity my condition. I exercised with her for 7.5 months and stopped a few weeks only before my due date. I have been very happy...

Siobhan I would like to say a huge thank you for the pregnancy exercise's. My baby girl was born by normal birth, it was a short labour and right on time as it was her due date. I really believe the exercise contributed to an easier labour and its thanks to you that I am already back in my skinny jeans!! Thank you....

I have never been much of a fan of structured exercise so it is something of a surprise to me that I enjoy the breathe easy classes led by Siobhan. I find Siobhan to be always cheerful, extremely encouraging and very patient. She makes a great effort to explain each of the exercises, is always happy to find an alternative if there is a particular exercise that you can't do and generally encourages you throughout the class. She takes time...

My weekly exercise session with Siobhan Rogers has done wonders for my health. Though COPD is irreversible, my peak flow is much better than it was a year ago and I get less breathless. I also have more stamina and better balance. I get miffed with Siobhan when she pushes me to do more, but I must admit that I am fitter, suppler, and I even have hopes of getting slimmer....

Dear Siobhan, I wanted to drop you a note following my recent fitness training under your guidance. Before I started to exercise I struggled to walk, had to maintain a slow pace and rest after a few minutes. I followed your exercise system (power walk, dumbells, warm up etc) for one year and have noticed a dramatic improvement in my health. I can now walk at a reasonable pace for upto 15 minutes without rest. I can walk to the...

Siobhan Rogers is the teacher at the COPD Exercise programme that I attend at St Mary's community centre Islington. I suffer with chronic Emphysema and became very depressed when first diagnosed. The method, style and attitude of Siobhan to all of us that attend, and we are a motley group, is great. She gets involvement and commitment from everyone. I've never missed a session, other than holidays, and return suffering and needing having missed it. I now know how important...
