How
We Began
Plymouth
Heartbeat was first
established by Barbara Luckham, a heart patient's wife and Valerie
Fryer a
cardiac nurse in 1993. Plymouth Heartbeat was formed as a support group
originally, to help raise money for cardiac patients, because at the
time there
was no support for cardiac patients in Plymouth. Patients had to travel
to
London to get any form of cardiac treatment. Later on, Plymouth
Heartbeat was
then joined by another 2 cardiac nurses, Dominic Earl and Jackie Scobie. By
1994, Plymouth Heartbeat was registered as a charity, and became
affiliated
with the British Heart Foundation, and we still currently are. The
support group met regularly on the first Tuesday of each month at
Tothill
Community Centre temporarily until they got a more permanent fixture at
Plymouth
Argyle FC. One
of Plymouth Heartbeat's main aim is to raise money to help & support
cardiac
patients on cardiac wards at the hospital. In
2000, Plymouth Heartbeat formed it's
first exercise group for cardiac patients & their carers. A grant was
obtained
from The Wolseley Trust in 2002 that enabled us to employ a cardiac
nurse and a
B.A.C.R trainer for Phase IV rehabilitation. The exercise was so
popular that
by 2003 we moved to our current location of Scott Business Park,
formerly known
as Scott Hospital. These can include members with: DiabetesStroke Obesity M.S. Parkinsons Epilepsy Arthritis Asthma High Blood Pressure Special needs/Mental Health Anxiety Depression And much more Members with special needs/mental health problems must be accompanied with a partner/carer.

Our Scan Sysem Our
scan system is pictured here. We use this to keep track of memberships
and members entering the facility, We also need this in case of any
emergencies. Facilities We have a wide range of cardio vascular machines, weight resistance equipments, & a Power Plate Exerciser to help you with your new healthy lifestyle regime, keeping fit, gaining confidence & motivation, & getting a positive attitude about your life. .......... We provide blood pressure machines for our members to regularly check their blood pressure. You can use these on your own, or you can always ask a member of staff to check your blood pressure. During your inductions we always check whether your blood pressure is ok, before we start your exercise program. We will then indicate where your blood pressure should be. If it is high, we will advise you to check it out with your GP, and we will keep monitoring your blood pressure over the first few weeks to see if it has come down. ..........
We
have a room to the side which provides mats, kettlebells, light
weights, hula hoops and other light exercise devices to help with
exercise. .......... As of now, we have a card reader so for any upcoming payments you can pay by card, contactless or chip & pin, reciepts are also available if you require them. .......... We
have lockers on site if you require one. Just ask when you come in if
you need one and you will get a key to one, Big or Small, and make sure
you back the key when you have finished your gym session.
Beverages/Snacks We stock different flavours of water, which costs £1 a bottle. We also provide tea/coffee at 20p each for you to have either before or after your exercise. Alternatively if you just like to pop in, say hello and have a chat over a cup of tea or coffee with other members of the gym or staff, you are always welcome. |
