Kara's Healthy Hearts

22/09/2026

What a great guy! You are doing amazing Shaun, my most attended participant, coming to both classes 👏🏼 Thanks for the lovely feedback 💙

"After a second heart attack in 2024, I was struggling physically and mentally, to get back to any sort of normality. Kara’s sessions have helped enormously on both counts. She is so welcoming, and is constantly working the room, coaching and encouraging, and I never leave, without having had a good laugh about something. The people in the groups are so friendly, and it’s great to have the chance to talk to others, who are in a similar position".

"I started Kara's class 7 months ago after completing the programme with the hospital. I attend every Tuesday & I really enjoy it, it's great meeting other people, I feel stronger & my fitness has improved".
Thanks Pauline, glad you're enjoying it so much 💖

💞 What an achievement! 💞

On Saturday 5th September, Keith & Jim walked from Bath Abbey to Bristol Cathedral (approximately 25km) to raise money for The Bristol Heart Institute, as a thank you for their incredible services.
4 years ago they both underwent a 5 hour operation to replace the malfunctioning aortic valve in their hearts with identical replacement valves.
✨️ So far they've managed to raise an amazing £1,786!!! ✨️
There's still time, if you'd like to donate, here's their page:

Thanks in advance for your generosity everyone.

💕 ‘Valve Buddies’ 💕

Keith and Jim are raising funds on Saturday 5th September for Bristol Heart Institute (BHI).
4 years ago they both underwent a 5 hour operation to replace the malfunctioning aortic valve in their hearts with identical replacement valves.
They want to say thank you to the incredible teams at BHI by walking from Bath Abbey to Bristol Cathedral (a distance of approximately 25km) to raise money.
Details of their fundraising page can be found here:

Keith & Jim said:
"Whilst walking to give thanks for the past 4 years of surgically enhanced life, we have set ourselves a target to raise a minimum sponsorship of £1,600 and an optimistic maximum target of £50,000. The minimum target would cover the estimated cost for specialised suture devices for two patients. The maximum target would cover the estimated cost of the whole treatment for one further patient.
Thanks in advance for your generosity"

Go Keith & Jim! 💪🏼

💕 Thanks for your feedback Dave 💕

"Following a heart attack two years ago, I was advised that it would be a good idea to join an exercise group in order to help me with my recovery. It was suggested that such a group was being run by Kara.
Since joining the group 18months ago I feel it has been very beneficial. Kara ensures that each individual only does what they feel they are capable of, to ensure that no one does anything to excess.
The aim of the class is to achieve a stronger heart through exercise"
