September Newsletter

    September has been a great month for both clients and staff at CB Neuro Fitness. There’s been client progression, staff training and the exciting introduction of a new boxing group. As well as the continuous enjoyment and development of the ABI gym group. 

      New Boxing Group

      This month will see the launch of our new group. Working in collaboration with heads up therapies, we are pleased to announce a non contact neuro boxing group. The group will be facilitated by Craig Barker – An ABI specialist personal trainer – and Matt Vark – An ABI Occupational therapist. Whilst this group is aimed at our ABI community, we also actively encourage involvement from family members, support staff and other care givers.

          Gym Group

          This month has seen a couple of new faces at the gym group. The feedback from our clients remains positive with new members reporting they were made to feel welcome, supported and part of a community. 

          It remains a personal highlight of our team’s week that we all actively look forward to.

              Client Update

              This month, we’re thrilled to highlight the remarkable progress of LL, a client who has achieved significant results in a short period while training with Chris Coupe. L’s dedication in the gym is exceptional; he consistently works hard to not only expand his exercise knowledge but also to refine his form and technique. This commitment has led to a noticeable transformation in his physique, with a significant increase in muscle mass. Furthermore, L has seen improvement in his cardiovascular performance, which has positively impacted his football training.

                Staff training

                Last month, the team participated in some safeguarding training, which proved to be an informative and valuable day. The training focused on the many aspects of safeguarding, providing a thorough understanding of its varying levels and complexities. A significant focus was placed on developing the critical skills necessary for identifying potential risks and concerns related to vulnerable individuals.

                This training will ensure our team is better equipped to identify potential risks, seek out the appropriate support, ensuring a safer and more supportive environment for our clients.

                  Future training

                  This month some of our team will be receiving training in ‘understanding autism’. 

                  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and brain injuries present with similar symptoms and underlying mechanisms, including challenges with learning, sensory processing, social judgment, communication, and behavioral regulation. Although a causal link between brain injury and autism has not been established, a complex relationship exists, and children who suffer peadiatric brain injuries may have an elevated risk of an ASD diagnosis.

                  This training aims to provide our team with a fresh perspective on living with a brain injury, thereby enhancing their empathy and fostering a more compassionate and supportive environment for our clients.
