CP+R (Clinical Prevention and Rehabilitation) Reviews

I joined CP & R's Cardiac Rehab system shortly after being discharged from hospital following my heart by-pass surgery. The work I have done with them has been fun and enjoyable, and has improved my health greatly. The heart surgery left me breathless after the slightest activity and with no stamina whatsoever. After a Month working with CP & R I feel very well on the road to recovery, with the breathlessness virtually gone and my stamina coming back in leaps and bounds. I feel I will soon be fitter and more able than I was before the surgery.

Update from 7th June 2024 I posted a review last year after my first 12 weeks with CP+R, and now, 7 months later, I am still with them, making steady progress after my major open-heart surgery in July 2023. The recovery process has been longer and more challenging than I anticipated, with many ups and downs. However, the support from CP+R has made it much more manageable and even enjoyable. The team is knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely caring. Initially, I was sceptical about our Zoom sessions, but they turned out to be effective and very enjoyable. Each session was personalized to suit my needs and abilities, yet challenging enough to keep me progressing. As a result, I've made significant progress and I am now well enough to return to work. Having access to cardiac nurses and physiotherapist has been incredibly helpful, especially since I received minimal guidance and support from my GP. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire CP+R team and my wonderful coaches, Kate, Megan, and my latest coach, Jodie. Over these past 7 months, they have been amazing, lifting my spirits with their infectious positivity, helping me manage stress, supporting my recovery with a balanced diet, and helping me regain my strength. I'm excited to see how much more I will improve in the next 12 weeks! Original review November 2023 I was recommended CP+R at Cleveland clinic where I had the major open heart surgery. My amazing coach Amber and the rest of the lovely team have provided me with first class care and support. I have been on the journey with them now for 12 weeks, and I don’t know what I would have done without them. Highly recommend.

After recent heart surgery I was keen to improve my cardiovascular fitness and especially my leg strength to get back skiing as soon as possible. After a professional assessment at Bath Uni I was introduced to Sam Howell. He has worked over the last 4 weeks to build my strength and endurance. During our sessions we have also discussed nutrition and what else I can do to improve and maintain my fitness. We have done all our sessions over Zoom and it actually feels like having your own PT in the sitting room with you. Sam is a really personable guy and makes every session individual to you and your capabilities. You don't need loads of exercise equipment, just some space and a bit of determination when asks for 'just one more' split squat . Highly recommended

CP+R are very professional in what they do. The exercises and programme are carefully tailored to your medical condition, post operation, and you are closely monitored at every step. I was very well looked after by Emily and Jacob….thank you!

Excellent team and trainers

CP&R were a lifeline when I needed the support and guidance. They were very professional and reassuring and their support gave me the confidence to slowly get back to my normal life. My PT, Ollie, was a star! Knowledgeable, professional and so encouraging. Highly recommended!

Had open heart surgery in 2021 and joined CP+R to support me with my recovery. Over the past few years I have have gained core strength mobility and am more focused on looking after my health. The team are very friendly and experienced in what they do. They are a massive support and I would have never been able to get this far without them. 🙂

Coaches very easy to work with and for the first time in my life I get described as an athlete. Useful information and comprehensive comparative reports. A very worthwhile experience.

I would really recommend CP+R. They have definately helped me rebuild my strength and confidence following a cardiac procedure last year. The staff have been exceptional with their patience & encouragement throughout, also very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. I have also benefited from the wealth of information and advice on their online Clubhouse. Excellant job!!

Having a heart attack and cardiac arrest whilst training for the London Marathon last year was a truly life changing experience which caught me by complete surprise. The whole experience was a complete reset for me physically and emotionally. I lost confidence and had so many questions about the way my life changed such as the way my body felt, how to return to exercise, it was a huge weight on my shoulders. Finding a rehab program that wasn’t generic and looked at me in a much more holistic way was where CP+R came in. With the regular coaching sessions of support CP+R my life 9 months on looks so much better. From all of the coaches that have trained me the experience managers and the nursing team, I felt that there was a great set of people that truly cared about how I felt, are fun and easy to work with and easily reachable through the Clubhouse. Training sessions are truly unique and challenge me and having the assessments every 3 months to show my progression in a physical, emotional and medical sense is something I couldn’t find anywhere else. I will specially mention Becky and Lily who have inspired me to start running again, something I at one stage thought I would not have the confidence to do ever again, and for that and everyone at CP+R who has been part of my support and journey I am truly thankful.

Excellent rehabilitation with access to such professional, knowledgeable, motivational and friendly people! I have already benefitted enormously from my first 4 weeks. Looking forward to the next stages and further progress!

I have to highly recommend CP+R and especially James Horne he took me through the rehab each week and was wonderful, very skilled and friendly. The hour went really quickly and James kept each session interesting. I could see a massive improvement from when I started till I finished. I had lost a lot of confidence in my physical abilities after having major heart surgery but after working with James it has got it back which is amazing.

I thoroughly recommend CP+R. They have undoubtedly helped me rebuild my strength and confidence following a cardiac procedure last year. The staff have been most knowledgable, helpful and friendly. I have also benefited from the wealth of information and advice on their online Clubhouse. And a special mention for Sophie Dickerson - she has been a delight in all our sessions, making all the exercises seem fun and something to look forward to. First class training!

Great service! Good online training sessions, coupled with very comprehensive support from trainer/nurses/physio. Definitely helped speed up my recovery from heart surgery. Thanks for all your help!

I have been with CP&R since March and they truly have been fantastic Their attention to detail and knowing what I actually need is first class, I feel much better and I very much look forward to every CP&R session

Working with CP+R has been an incredible experience. During recovery from heart surgery last year, I started with a free trial for cardio-recovery. I never loved exercise, but it seemed like some free rehabilitation from heart surgery was worth a try. A year later I am still with these guys, all the trainers are amazing, the four pillars program is fantastic. I'm enjoying exercise for the first time in my life. It's more than exercise. It's health care and lifestyle advice and exercise all rolled into one. I'm staying with these guys, going from strength to strength.

I feel that I have benefited enormously over the last 11 months from my coaching with CP& R following some very extensive cardiac surgery. All the coaches have been well qualified and have engaged in the sessions with a sense of humour, which is so important. The quarterly reviews have given me objectives going forwards and a plan to work to. I know that I am considerably fitter than I would have been left to me own devices. Thank you CP&R
