Hi Duff, any gym should be able to work out a program for you, I joined my gym at the local liesure center, they were fantastic and very helpful. I should start there if I were you. Let us know how you get on. Have a great day and take care😊 Bernadette xx

Although we all get gym membership free thru medicare - it is not the same workout and does not have the Nu step machines.
