The Cardiac Longevity Programme is for anyone recovering from a cardiac event, living with cardiovascular disease, or managing cardiac risk factors who wants specialist, structured exercise support to improve their health safely and confidently.

No. This is a specialist cardiac rehabilitation and exercise programme delivered by a certified clinical exercise physiologist with over 20 years of experience working with cardiac patients. It is clinically informed, structured, and designed specifically for people with cardiac conditions or risk factors.

Not necessarily. The programme is also suitable for people with cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, a sedentary lifestyle, or excess weight who want structured, specialist support.

Many people complete NHS cardiac rehabilitation and then feel unsure about what to do next. This programme provides the structured, specialist follow-on support that helps you continue to progress safely.

You may still be suitable for the programme. All applicants are screened individually, and the initial assessment ensures the programme is appropriate for your current stage of recovery.

The programme is delivered remotely, with coaching, guidance, and check-ins conducted via phone or video call. This makes it accessible regardless of location and allows flexible scheduling.

The initial assessment includes a detailed review of your medical history, current fitness level, exercise readiness, goals, and concerns. This helps us build a programme that is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you.

The programme is designed to help you improve cardiovascular fitness, rebuild strength and stamina, reduce fear around exercise, understand your body better, and build a sustainable long-term routine for heart health.

No. Everything is progressed at a pace that is safe and appropriate for you. The programme is built around careful, structured progression — not intensity for its own sake.

That is very common and completely understandable. A significant part of the programme is focused on helping you understand what is safe, how to pace yourself, and how to gradually rebuild confidence.

No. The programme meets you where you are and progresses from there. It is designed for people who may be starting from a low baseline or who have been inactive for some time.

Yes. These are among the most common risk factors we work with. The programme is designed to support people with these conditions as part of a long-term heart health strategy.

The programme is designed to fit around your life. You can expect to commit a few hours per week to exercise sessions, with regular coaching check-ins on top of that.

At the end of the programme, you will receive a review and next-step plan. Many clients continue with ongoing support, membership, or a follow-on programme depending on their needs.

The best way to find out is to apply. All applications are reviewed individually, and a consultation call is offered to discuss suitability before any commitment is made.

The founding cohort investment is £1,250. This includes assessment, structured guidance, specialist support, education, progression, and end-of-programme review.

This is not standard fitness coaching. It is a specialist cardiac rehabilitation programme delivered by a clinically certified exercise physiologist with decades of experience. The price reflects the expertise, individual attention, and clinical depth involved.
