Be like Neil ⬆️
Neil didn’t think he was the type of person who could do CrossFit but after some convincing by a friend he decided to give it a shot… and he’s glad he did – Neil told us that CrossFit has been a game changer for him and he attributes massively improved health markers to starting the sport 🩻
😷Neil developed late adult onset asthma after a severe chest infection in his mid 40s which gradually worsened over the years and affected all aspects of his life… 😔
When he joined Unity he had received oral steroid treatments every few weeks for some time to manage flare-ups and even four different inhalers couldn’t control his severe asthma. 😔 He was worried he was too “unfit” and that his lungs wouldn’t be able to cope with the demands of the sport ❌
The coaches understood his worries. They met him where he was at. The prescription was movement and the dose was tailored to him. Over time as he got fitter and was able to tolerate more they increased the intensity, always keeping it at an appropriate, safe level.
He gained confidence to handle challenging workouts, those which made him breathe heavily. It now felt “safe” 🏃
Neil told us everything has changed since starting CrossFit. The oral steroids are no more. For 10 years every visit to his NHS consultant had resulted in confirmation of very high inflammatory markers. His markers are now basically normal 🤩
This is Neil. But this could be you.
