" A friend recommended Tonics to me as I wanted to start using a gym. I have been a member for 10 years now! I use the gym five times a week and I also do Zumba. Exercising is a way of life-it keeps you fit both mentally and physically. The past couple of years it has helped me to overcome breast cancer and major surgery. There is something for everyone at Tonics, whether you want to lose weight or just tone up. Exercising with other members will help to keep you motivated ".

" I have been a member of Tonics for 10 years. I saw an advert in the newspaper and as Tonics  was local, I decided to have a look. I wanted to lose weight and tone up, but had never used a gym before. What appealed to me about Tonics was the fact that it wasn't vast or overpowering but friendly and relaxed. I joined and lost three and a half stone during the first year. Now, i train regularly to maintain it. "

" I joined Tonics during the Change For Life scheme last May. I suffer from arthritis and needed to improve my mobility.I also needed to decrease my blood pressure. I really liked the friendly atmosphere and the fact that Tonics is not at all intimidating. I had a programme specially devised to accomodate my arthritis. As a result, I am now much mobile, I have lost a stone and a half in weight , my fitness has really increased and I have lower blood pressure. "

Marie Edmonds, Sittingbourne.

I joined Tonics 11 years ago. I had bad asthma and I really wanted to lose some weight. A triage nurse recommended Tonics to me as she was a member. When I first came in I was surprised at how friendly everyone was. I was given a good programme by an experienced instructor. After a while, I started doing Bar & Burn on Thursdays. I then recommended my sister to Tonics and she joined too! The result is, I have lost atleast a stone and my asthma is much better-I don't wheeze anymore"

Tim Francis, Sittingbourne

" I joined Tonics 3 years ago.It was recommended to me by my brother. I just wanted to tone up and get fitter. I hadn't used a gym before and wasn't sure what to expect. I was slightly nervous ,to be honest. The atmosphere was really relaxed and the other gym users were just everyday people from all walks of life. Since using Tonics my fitness has improved 100%, I'm more toned and I have met loads of new people ".

Anna Sargeant, Sittingbourne.

" I have been a member of Tonics for 9 years. I have always loved exercise, but wasn't certain about joining a gym. Forget any misconceptions you might have about gyms-Tonics is relaxed, friendly and full of normal people who just want to be in better shape. I have had a few events to shape up for since joining-including my wedding and the London Marathon. Tonics had everything I needed on both counts-the right equipment and friendly, well informed staff ".
