Andy

Andy is an experienced clinical exercise physiologist at Longevity Health and Fitness. He works with clients with a wide range of conditions, including neurological rehabilitation, cancer prehabilitation/rehabilitation, joint pain, back pain and age-related frailty.

Andy has a wealth of experience working with different conditions within his role at the University of Southampton, where he has developed and run the GP exercise referral scheme. He also set up a cancer prehabilitation/rehabilitation service in conjunction with the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, helping patients prepare for surgery as their main treatment option. Andy enjoys working with all medical conditions and people, to understand what their goals are and to use exercise to help them surpass their goals. If he does not have prior experience with a specific condition, Andy makes sure to complete thorough research before starting a session/programme.

The main modalities Andy uses to train patients are mobility training and strength training. He believes these are both fundamental exercise techniques everyone should be using to achieve their goals, and he always educates patients about these fundamental training techniques.

Andy is currently completing a Master of Research, where he is investigating a new exercise treatment option for those with COPD. He hopes this will lead to studying for a PhD in the field of exercise physiology. He has delivered over 50 classes, aiming to help improve people’s mobility and strength over six weeks. Andy is also working on an arthritis research project, designing an exercise protocol for those with inflammatory arthritis.

Passionate about helping people realise their potential, Andy truly believes exercise is medicine, helping patients not only improve their mobility and strength, but also improve their quality of life.

Exercise for health, fitness and longevity

Exercise is essential for improving health, managing conditions, and enhancing longevity. We support individuals of all ages and health backgrounds to find the right exercise approach for their unique needs, offering personalised plans that help overcome any barriers along the way.

Specialised exercise for health conditions and well-being

Your health today doesn’t have to limit your tomorrow. Our clinical exercise programs are tailored to support you, considering any health challenges or considerations you may have.

Back Pain

Back pain is a common issue that affects many adults, with one in six people in the UK experiencing it at some point.

Cancer

Cancer is a condition where cells in a part of the body grow and divide uncontrollably.

Cardiac

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the UK, but the good news is that according to the NHS 85% of cases are preventable.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term condition that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use it properly.

Falls, Frailty & Ageing

As we age, maintaining strength, mobility, and balance is essential for a healthy, independent life.

Hypertension and High Cholesterol

Hypertension (high blood pressure) and high cholesterol significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Multiple Sclerosis

MS affects everyone differently, and at Longevity, we understand that our approach needs to be personalised.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis can limit movement, cause discomfort, and impact daily life. But you don’t have to let it control you.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis doesn’t have to limit your life.

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the brain and gets worse over time.

“I found Longevity by chance when looking for an exercise professional who could understand the needs of my husband. He had a stroke many years ago, has mobility limitations and overall osteoarthritis. He was becoming less and less active and I needed to find the right person to gently motivate and push him. It has made such a difference to his strength and stamina and is allowing him to maintain more independence. I couldn’t recommend Longevity enough!”
