Renal Patients
People with kidney complaints have many difficulties with their metabolism particularly with proteins. Protein is essential for the body to repair or build tissue, particularly muscle. Renal patients are put on low protein diets and therefore suffer muscle wastage. When a dialysis patient embarks upon a weight-training program, he or she is able to have a diet containing more protein due simply to the muscles using it; therefore it does not have to be processed through the kidney. Resistance training causes an increase in bone density likewise for osteoporosis sufferers. Renal and dialysis patients that train are able to optimise their living standards to become more in line with normality. It is necessary to monitor renal sufferers throughout any form of training; our certified personal trainers are able to do this.

High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
High blood pressure forces the heart to work harder. The heart needs to pump more to deliver adequate blood and oxygen to supply everyday bodily functions. The direct result is an enlarged heart. The risk of heart attack is increased, as is the possibility of stroke and renal failure. Studies find overweight people who suffer from hypertension are particularly at risk from heart failure and attacks. Cardiovascular exercise can greatly reduce blood pressure levels by increasing the body's oxygen consumption. Regular, sustained aerobic training dramatically lowers heart rate and blood pressure in most people.
