Devon Live features Westbank's new initiative, GymClusive. 

Gymclusive supports both physical and mental health by fostering a sense of well-being and community. It’s part of our mission to help people of all ages and abilities live healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives for as long as they can.

Apprentice personal trainer Issy Burley explains: “It’s a very different atmosphere to the usual commercial gym - our USP here is helping people to recover. We run many different classes and sessions, like our exercise referral programme, which aims to help those with health conditions maintain and improve their ability to function. We also run assisted sessions when members can book in for extra help, free of cost. I have a lovely man who comes every week.

“He had a stroke and I take him through a list of exercises from sit-to-stands to cable rows. It’s really rewarding to see how much people improve. Which is why the recent revamp of our gym is such a privilege, as we can provide these classes and sessions in an environment that’s accessible for everyone.”
