Steve LeBillon was getting a bit lazy with his home gym equipment, so he decided organised exercise was the best way to stay motivated. Steve's a brick layer, but he wanted to get fit for his off road motorcycling so he began attending the Way2Go Men's Circuit in Wakefield.

Prior to starting, Steve was often so stiff he could hardly get out of bed in the morning, but the circuit work has made him much more flexible.  This improved flexibilty has resulted in a lot  less  twinges and discomfort from his work.

His motorcycle performance has also improved drastically.  Steve often does an endurance 21k loop track,  and now his arms and legs still have strength at the end of his ride.

Steve really looks forward to his Thursday circuits for the social aspect as well. He enjoys getting to know new people and finds his instructor very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Way2Go Wakefield coordinator, Greg Biggs says Steve's support, and  his referral of the men's circuit to his friends, has been vital for the programmes survival.

Becoming a Wakefield Way2Go instructor has not only encouraged Bryony Klink to get more active, but it's opened up lots of opportunities for community activity. Bryony has two children and is putting herself through a Diploma in Applied Fitness at college. She's found that her involvement with Way2Go has really helped with her studies, and it's opened up social opportunities.
"It gives me a break from the kids and I'm playing Badminton again, which I hadn't since I was a young girl - it's great to get into it again," she says.
Way2Go Wakefield has also given Bryony access to other trainers and enabled her to up-skill to become an Aqua Aerobics Instructor.  With an improved level of fitness and lot's of new friends she feels more self-confident and more motivated.
"It's great to give Wakefield and Brightwater people the chance to do things that townies take for granted."
