REVIEWS

Working for the Wellbeing Prescription team at Tandridge and coming from a fitness background myself I was conscious of the level of this class. I wanted to feel confident about recommending clients to try ‘Paracise’. It was the perfect class for someone new to exercise, but also fabulous for anyone with a few niggles or pain, aches and stiffness, injuries or restrictions. It was easy to follow even if you have two left feet! The pace was perfectly set and there were options – there was no pressure if you needed to stop and catch your breath. It made me aware of my posture, my breathing and also helped my balance. I would have no hesitation in recommending our Wellbeing clients to try ‘Paracise’ – I think it could be the perfect anecdote for anyone to keep moving, start moving or get back to moving after injury – also good for the soul with some great tracks that you can’t help singing along to.”

“Just to say, thank you for setting up the masterclass of Paracise™ at Broxburn on Saturday. It was a well-formatted class and I can see why it is a great benefit to those participants that are not as mobile, lacking in confidence, recovering from injuries, trying to lose weight, over 50s and those totally new to exercise! It was very uplifting music and the simple moves still worked your body to help improve all elements of fitness, stability, balance, strength, mobility, cardiovascular and even core! I can definitely see that it would be a benefit to Xcite members and to GP referrals etc. If all instructors are doing the same format it would provide consistency so all participants will then know what they are getting in the class. Which is great as the Les Mills brand already shows that this works! Sarah from Paracise was an excellent ambassador for the class product and showed that anyone can do it! Even with her condition of muscular Dystrophy!”

Following surgery, I was suffering from stiffness in my neck and shoulders. And despite the fatigue, I really wanted to get moving again. The music was great, Sarah’s enthusiasm is infectious and as well as working my body it did my confidence a power of good!”

“I have done two Paracise classes and already I have noticed an improvement in my balance. Also an injury from running has got significantly better due to the stretching. I feel Paracise exercises are brilliant for maintaining a healthy body and mind and I would highly recommend them.”

“I went to my first Paracise™ last night. I suffer with fibromyalgia I have good days but mostly bad days. I thought I would give Paracise™ a go as I use to do Zumba but have not been able to do that for over a year now because of my fibromyalgia. I was dreading waking up in mega pain this morning but I can honestly say I woke up with the usual aches and pains but felt better for doing the Paracise™ class. So from now on I am going to carry on with the Paracise™ class to build me up and you never know one day I might be able to go back and do Zumba again. I can’t thank Sarah enough she is always there for us to help with all the gentle exercise and how you can go about it if you can’t do a certain exercise. Please please give the Paracise™ class ago I promise you won’t be disappointed. xx”

“As the project coordinator for the Xcite West Lothian Leisure Ageing Well project I was looking for additional actvities to add to our programme for the over 50’s and I came across a new programme online called Paracise™. I contacted Paracise™ to make enquires and I had the pleasure of arranging a Paracise™ Masterclass with the wonderful Sarah Goldstack to showcase her product in Scotland on Saturday 17th February 2018. A total of 40 people including customers and Instructors attended the 45-minute Masterclass and everyone had such a great afternoon. There were so many smiling faces throughout the class it was clearly evident Sarah had such a passion for her product and the delivery of the programme was fantastic. Paracise™ certainly delivers a feel-good facture to ensure you want to do it all again. Our customers loved the fact that the music was very uplifting and the routines were easy to follow. Really gentle on the joints and stimulating. The perfect workout for those who require a lower intensity level of class. Our Instructors loved the fact that the all the choreography was so easy to follow and this would mean we can deliver a safe and effective class to a wider audience who are looking to maintain or improve their quality of life. The music was so uplifting and motivating. The class was well formatted and ideal for those participants who are lacking in confidence, recovering from injuires or totally new to exercise. The class had all the necessary elements of fitness, stability, strength and balance which is so important for in everyday life. We are now looking forward to introducing this wonderful new class to our programme. Well done Sarah."

“I haven’t been to an exercise class for a year and a half due to illness, having been sleeping for 20 hours a day I had put on lots of weight and no stamina it was as much as I could do to return work let alone go and do a Zumba class at the end of the day! Mind say yes body says NO! I saw Paracise™ and I thought that sounds like the sort of class I may be able to handle so I went last night for the first time. I came out if it jumping around yes I did it, no I didn’t look silly, no I didn’t feel intimidated when I wobbled to get my balance again. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, I was encouraged, helped and advised I just needed the confidence to make that first step! Thank you Sarah you are one amazing lady – see you next week!”

I love Paracise™ and do three classes a week. It is great for toning, stretching, posture, balance and it is such good fun. I come home smiling from every class. The music is brilliant, the instructors are amazing, and I have met so many lovely people. I would highly recommend doing a Paracise™ class.

How was Paracise™ born?

A year ago I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, a long-term condition which affects the airways of the lungs resulting in a persistent cough. Since joining Paracise™ in September my symptoms have improved enormously, along with my fitness levels. Paracise™ inspires confidence to do well. I attend three classes a week and recommend Paracise™ to anyone wishing to improve their fitness levels, make friends and have fun in the process.

I developed polymyalgia rheumatic in 2016. PMR develops slowly, it is an autoimmune disorder affecting mostly both shoulders and hips. It is an inflammatory disease that makes the joints very painful and stiff to move. The only treatment that works really is steroids, I took these for a long time but longed to get off them, I started Paracise™ 4 months ago and it was the best thing I ever did, I am off the steroids and my joints are so much better and the movement I have in them is amazing !!... The classes are fun, very friendly and I can't recommend them enough. They have changed my life.

I was warmly greeted by everyone and instantly felt welcomed. The class was filled with a variety of abilities both male and female and age was not a problem. Working for the Wellbeing Prescription team at Tandridge and coming from a fitness background myself I was conscious of the level of this class. I wanted to feel confident about recommending clients to try ‘Paracise’. It was the perfect class for someone new to exercise, but also fabulous for anyone with a few niggles or pain, aches and stiffness, injuries or restrictions.
