FAQs

Our timetable is based around strength-based workouts, but also includes classes for cardio, flexibility, balance and yoga. We design each workout across the week to target different muscle groups on different days. Alongside this we offer yoga and a regular stretching session to cover all bases!

Our timetable is available below, all at UK times. The weekly schedule for more information on workout focus and equipment is sent every Sunday morning via email and posted on our information forum.

• Monday @7am: Strength and resistance (45 mins)

• Monday @6.30pm: Low-impact HIIT/cardio (30 mins)

• Tuesday @1pm: Strength and resistance (45 mins)

• Wednesday @6.30pm: Strength and resistance (45 mins)

• Thursday @9.15am: Gentle strength, balance and flexibility (30 mins)

• Thursday @1pm: Yoga for cancer (30 mins)

• Friday @7am: Strength BLAST/ timed strength (30 mins)

We aim to make our workouts as accessible as possible. We offer introductory programs to help learn the basics of strength training and progressive exercises during our LIVE and recorded videos. Workouts are designed to challenge you safely, but we also provide lower and higher impact options based on your energy and ability.

Ideally it would be great to have the following available for our workouts, although we can always adapt if you don't have a anything listed:

• a long resistance band like these (if you're just getting started), or these in aqua and yellow for more advanced resistance

• a set of mini bands like these (if you're just getting started) or for more advanced try bootie bands like these

• dumbbells or handweights around 1-2kg as a starter, heavier as we progress if you want more (we can also use bean tins or waterbottles when you're just getting started)

• a pole or broomstick

• as an optional extra, a pilates ring can also be helpful, but we can also use a cushion to do these exercises if you don't have one

For our strength-based classes you don’t need a huge amount of space. We advise you ensure the floor space around you is clear before you begin. For our low-impact HIIT class you may need a little more space but we can modify as needed.

Our subscription packages are based on how you like to exercise, and what stage you're at in your recovery. Whether you want the accountability of LIVE classes (see timetable above), or you want to exercise in your own time, there is an option for you. If you have recently completed or are close to completing your treatment for breast cancer, try our progressive recovery program, or join our LIVE shorter 30 minute classes. If you're unsure which option is best for you, book an introductory call with Sarah. This is run via Zoom and is bookable here.

All classes are saved in the on-demand library if you can’t join LIVE, or you’re in a different time zone. The library is categorized by class length, body area focus, class type and more so you can select the best option for you. This library is accessible to LIVE and ON-DEMAND memberships.

Our experts are all cancer specialists, many of whom have had cancer themselves. For more information, please check out our Experts pages.

We welcome members at all stages of their cancer treatment. Though our longer classes are more geared up to those building fitness in their recovery, we also offer a more gentle 30 minute strength, balance and flexibility class every Thursday morning which is suited to those who want a lower impact workout. If you have a more complex medical history, we would recommend chatting to Sarah or another member of the team in more detail to see what exercise option is right for you. You can book a free Zoom chat here.

Due to the individuality of your disease, we would recommend chatting to Sarah or another member of the team in more detail to see what exercise option is right for you. You can book a free Zoom chat here.

It is useful for the instructor to see you during a class to ensure you are performing exercises correctly. 

Always! If you find something hard or you're unable to perform a certain exercise, please let the instructor know, or contact Sarah (sarah@getmeback.uk) for an alternative.

If you are recovering from a cold or other virus, ensure you feel up to exercising before beginning again. Do not exercise, or stop exercising, if you have or develop any of the following symptoms:

• unusual fatigue or muscle weakness

• an irregular pulse

• leg pains or cramps

• chest pain

• feeling sick or are sick during exercise

• vomiting within previous 24 to 36 hours

• dizziness, blurred vision

• difficulty breathing or numbness in your hands or feet

• low blood counts (platelets, white and red blood cells)

If you feel especially tired from the treatment, try exercising for a shorter time, at a lower intensity, or plan to exercise the following day instead. Energy levels during treatment tend to go up and down. As long as you recognize this, exercise should then be enjoyable and safe.
