Hi Stuart,I live in Dudley and the gym you are referring to is called action heart.I don’t believe it’s BHf .I think it’s a registered charity beacon status.Its an education and cardio rehab program with a fantastic gym.I believe it’s an invite only for the residents of Dudley and surrounding areas .ive started the education program and have been invited for a stress test and from this they will design a exercise program for my exact needs.I will get a 12 month free membership to use there gym and if I want to stay after 12 months there is a small monthly fee. actionheart.com hope this helps.

You can speak to Russel hall or you can contact you’re local GP and he/she can also refer you.Just a word of warning though it may take a couple of months to get access to the gym.

I had a stent last year and can go the gym and Russell’s Hall. However I don’t just for the simple reason is I live near Quinton so it’s just a bit too far. It’s. good facility though and I did do my stress test and 3 sessions there
