Members at Club Rhyl using DLL’s groundbreaking Assist Fit studio have deemed it ‘life changing’ with a ‘real community feel’.

Dilys Bagnall, 87, from Rhyl, has been using Assist Fit since its opening a year ago and believes that using the studio frequently has benefitted her and other regulars she trains with, both mentally and physically.

Assist Fit, which is located within DLL’s hugely popular Club Rhyl, is designed to be the perfect solution for those living with long term conditions and those who do not feel ready for a traditional gym environment.  Power assisted exercise technology is safe for all abilities, as users do not need to provide the motive force to overcome inertia.

Using Assist Fit can help to build confidence and help members to potentially progress to further activities in the future.  For members looking for a low impact, full-body workout, Assist Fit provides the perfect ‘helping hand’ to get their strength back

Dilys explained: “I have seen how it has benefitted other people coming both physically and mentally. It is well worth doing and anyone can access it! I feel like it ends loneliness for people and there is a real community feel to being in Assist Fit sessions. The DLL team on site are lovely and really welcoming. It’s definitely helped me physically, I had a new hip 18 years ago and have had two new knees, along with pins and plates in my feet, and this is definitely helping to loosen me up. It has been life changing and I’ve met some wonderful people.”

In its first year, Assist Fit has proved hugely popular within the local community, providing not only positive health benefits, but also an opportunity to socialise with other members.  Over the initial twelve months, feedback from users has been exceptional, with many visiting regularly and finding the gym a comfortable and accessible space, allowing them to engage in regular exercise and create positive behaviour changes. 

Jamie Groves, Managing Director, DLL, said: “It’s fantastic to hear how members are benefiting from Assist Fit. Assist Fit is about support, community and wellbeing and its a credit to the team at Club Rhyl for their brilliant customer service. DLL has always been committed to bringing leisure offers to its members aimed at helping improve fitness, health and mental wellbeing within our communities.  Assist Fit is designed to focus on customers with specific fitness needs, and for whom our gym environment is not currently suitable and we have been extremely pleased to hear of the positive benefits Assist Fit is bringing to our members.  Even more positive, is the fantastic community that has been created within the Assist Fit environment.”
