Rebecca - 46 - Office Manager

“At 46, I’ve faced many challenges with my weight, including a failed gastric band.

After years of struggling with emotional eating and trying quick fixes without success, I was unsure of what to do next.

That’s when I found Ben at Push Pull Health in Herne Bay.

I’d tried busy commercial gyms in places like Whitstable and Canterbury with mixed results, but my lack of confidence and lack of a clear plan held me back.

Working with Ben has been a completely different experience.”

Olya - 35 - Care Home Manager

“What’s been especially helpful is the supportive environment that Ben has created for me, knowing my history of failed exercise attempts. His support and understanding have given me the confidence to stick with a routine that works, something I hadn’t been able to do before.

The personalised approach at Push Pull Health has given me the guidance I needed to stay on track, get stronger, and feel more confident in my own body. (I can now do push-ups, go me!)

I’m seeing the benefits of strength training combined with a more mindful approach to my diet, which has completely transformed my feelings about food and exercise.

Ben’s helped me get stronger, tone up, and take control of my health in a sustainable and effective way.”

Joy - 86 - Retired Nurse

“I knew my muscles needed to get stronger. I’m well past pension age, and I realised that if they got any weaker, it could really hold me back. That’s when I decided to join Push Pull Health.

What I’m most proud of is simply feeling better in myself. I know that if I were to fall now, I’ve built up enough strength to help prevent a serious injury.

The sessions have been brilliant—not just the advice, but the people. We’ve become good friends, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them each week.

These days, I actually look forward to going to the gym.”

Shaun - 34 - Teaching Assistant

“If your goal is to lose fat, fit your clothes better, or simply feel better in yourself, I can’t recommend Ben from Push Pull Health enough!”

Liz - 46 - NHS Communication Manager

“Ben’s quiet encouragement and expertise in mobility and movement patterns ensured I could safely work around my medical issues.

He’s never been fazed by my challenges—whether it’s a random knee ache, a bad day where I’m close to tears, or my hesitation with new exercises.

Instead, Ben adapts each session to meet me where I am, pushing just enough to make progress without making me feel overwhelmed.

The progress I’ve made in the gym is more than I dared to hope for, but the real impact has been outside the gym.

Whether it’s confidently striding out on a muddy walk, choosing to wear leggings without a baggy top, or simply feeling more comfortable in my skin, I feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in my daily life.”

Glynis - 71 - Retired Teacher

The focus isn’t just on lifting weights, although I enjoy that. (something I never thought I would say!)

It’s mainly on the outcomes of those activities, and I am moving better and feeling stronger. It’s about improving my health span so I can keep doing the things I love for years to come without feeling restricted by pain or stiffness.

So, if, like me, you are older and greyer than the people you usually see in a gym, Ben will give you the confidence to try things you may never have tried before! If you’re feeling weaker or unsteady and want to keep moving with confidence, Push Pull Health is the place for you.
