Dear Sir,

I write to endorse that Aspire Fitness Studios Newton Aycliffe not only helps you restore your body but helps promote your emotional wellbeing.

I am affected with depression, anxiety and panic attacks and joined the studios in March 2012. During this period I improved and four months later I stopped taking all my medication.

The classes lift my mood and alleviate my stress levels beyond belief. You are made to feel like family and get a warm welcome every visit.

At one time I couldn’t attend due to other commitments. and my stress levels began to rise and my anxiety and panic attacks re-started.

I went back to Aspire Fitness Studios and feel better already. I know this isn’t the answer for everyone, but considering 1 in 3 of the population have mental health issues it’s well worth a try. I send this anonymously as mental health in society is still surrounded by prejudice, fear and ignorance.
