Who am I and how can I help?

My name is Angela Hartley and I run Clinical Exercise, a program that can help you to get your confidence and fitness back on track. I am a qualified Cardiac Specialist Nurse and Exercise Coach and I love to get people exercising again with confidence. It is my passion to help you get back that spring in your step and help you start enjoying your life again with a heart condition.

I provide a unique, specialised and tailored cardiac rehab programmes in the comfort of my private studio gym in East Molesey, Surrey. If you can’t come and see me face to face, I offer one to one and group cardiac rehab over Zoom as well.

My exercise and nutrition cardiac rehab programmes can help you to recover from a heart condition or surgery, increase your fitness and improve your health, sleep, mood and quality of life. Whether you have had recent heart surgery (CABG, valve surgery), stents, an ablation, pacemaker inserted, or feel like the medication you take is holding you back, I can help!

I can help you with any of the following:

• Cardiac Rehab - after any event related to your heart (CABG, valve surgery, stent, pacemaker, ICD, ablation etc)

• Heart disease - lower your risk of heart attack, reduce your blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease

• Improve your blood sugar levels, reverse Type 2 diabetes, banish cravings and improve your energy and get off the blood sugar roller-coaster which is destroying your energy

• Lose weight - particularly from your belly to reduce your risk of future heart disease and health problems

• Talk through side effects of medications such as Warfarin or beta blockers to find out if this is normal

• Have someone on your team that genuinely cares about your recovery and quality of life

Check out the details of all of my programmes HERE but below is a summary of what I offer:

• 6 Week 'Kickstart' Cardiac Rehab Programme

• 12 Week 'Overhaul' Cardiac Rehab Programme

When can you start cardiac rehabilitation?

Generally, most people are safe to return to gentle exercise once they return home from hospital. However, everyone is different so the best time is when YOU feel ready and recovered. The following is usually the best timeframe to aim for:

• 2 weeks after a heart attack, stent or angioplasty

• 2 weeks after an ablation or cardioversion

• 4-6 weeks after cardiac surgery depending

• 2 weeks after an acute heart failure episode once stable

• Any time if you had your heart event months or years ago

What benefits will you see when you work with me?

After working with hundreds of patients with a wide range of heart conditions over the last 12 years I just love the buzz that comes with helping someone get their life back.

If you feel exhausted, unfit and aren't sure how to get your exercise back on track, then I can help! You will walk away from each session feeling energised, having learnt so much about your heart, but also how to exercise correctly and fuel your body to give it the correct energy it needs.

The main benefits to working with me include:

1. Increase your fitness and functional capacity so that you have the energy and strength to DO MORE

2. Lose weight and tone up so that you look and feel strong and confident in your clothes

3. Reduce your risk of having future heart disease or health problems

4. Stop living in fear and feel empowered to go out and enjoy exercise

5. Have more energy to live a full and active life

6. Improve your mood, mental health and emotional wellbeing

7. Get your life BACK and stop letting your heart condition get in the way

8. Increase your knowledge about your heart condition, your medications and what is 'normal' for you now

9. LOOK and FEEL better than you have in years

Your personalised cardiac rehab programme includes an individualised exercise and nutrition programme to follow. I will design a cardiac rehabilitation programme for you that is safe for your heart and give you weekly 'homework'.

Throughout our time together you will not only participate in a wide variety of exercises, you will learn WHAT to do that is best for your heart and WHY. You can then begin to perform exercise by yourself with your new confidence and knowledge! I’ll be here to see you in sessions and give you a home program that we tweak along the way.

”Come and see me for cardiac rehab exercise sessions in my private gym in East Molesey, Surrey or over Zoom from anywhere in the world. Let's get your fitness, confidence and heart health back on track!”
