Review titled Beginners 2 Runners Health Coaching
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 September 2024
Recently completed the Beginners2Runners health coaching with Charing Surgery and was so grateful that they give their patients access to such amazing schemes. The head coach was so encouraging and positive and as well as improving physical health throught weekly running sessions, he also gave powerful talks each week which really made you evaluate yourself hard but with lots of support and positivity. These talks had such an impact and really helped me strive to turn around improve any low self esteem and my overall mental health, not to mention the running hugely improving my physical fitness. If all surgeries offered such great courses it could help so many people struggling with anxiety, depression or social disorders. I couldn't recommend the head health coach more, or the experience he offers through his programme. Thankyou Charing surgery for giving your patients this opportunity and investing in Beginners2Runners Health Coaching. It will have a long lasting impact on all participants who see it to the end, and for some may be a life changing 10 weeks.

Good afternoon, thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback on the B2R health coaching programme. It is wonderful to read the impact this has had for you, both physically and mentally. This is what we had hoped for when the health coaching started and has been fabulous to see how this has benefited our patients, but to get an individual review means so much to the coach and all the staff at Charing, so thank you. Angela Black, Practice Manager.

Review titled Investors in health coaching programs
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carole - Posted on 10 September 2024
Charing Surgery funded a place on a 10 week course run by Beginners to Runner health coaching. I joined the course as I wanted to deal with my weight issue. The group was very friendly and inclusive with people of all sorts of sizes and ages and different abilities. Our course leader was very inspirational and motivating and helped to challenges our mindsets to support looking after your health, improving your fitness and having a great time at the same time with like minded people in the group. I’ve just finished the 5K course and have lost 8lbs in 8 weeks, gone from not being able to run any distance really, to now comfortably running a 5k, and made some new friends too. I strongly recommend to try the 5k course. This was possible because Charing Practice invested in supporting Beginners to Runners to provide additional support to patients. It really works.

Review titled Great consultation
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Simon Lake - Posted on 04 October 2024
Had a call with the doctor this morning. Brilliant consultation in which he listened to my symptoms and provided me with a straight forward course of action. Clear and articulate. Great service as always. Phoned promptly at 8.00AM and the call was taken promptly after 2 rings. Extremely professional receptionist on top of her game. Sincere thanks.

Review titled Above and beyond
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I want to praise the nurse who took the initiative and carried out a PSA blood test on the few symptoms I had. The results I received after other tests showed that I had prostate cancer. This would have gone unnoticed by myself. It’s been caught in a very early stage and can be treated.

Review titled Beginners to runners
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gaynor Davey - Posted on 06 June 2024
I am very happy to still be running with some of the team after we achieved our 10 week goal back in March. Having never been a runner, I now regularly run 5k three times a week. This is thanks to our great health coach and Charing surgery for running the b2r programme. Great results and very rewarding, I definitely recommend to anyone who gets the opportunity.

Review titled Beginners 2 Runners
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sue Butcher - Posted on 22 March 2024
I was asked if I was interested in joining a beginners to runners group over 10 weeks. I took up the challenge and the 10 weeks was up last Thursday and I ran 5K without stopping. This was an amazing journey with a brilliant coach. I met an awesome group of people and we will be continuing to run together twice a week. I would never have been able to do this without the encouragement of the coach and the other members of this group.

I was clinically obese, combined with high blood pressure. But with the help of the surgery and their fantastic offer to be involved in a couch to 5k, my health has recovered drastically.
