“The training is brilliant and is varied which allowed me to try so many other types of fitness which I most likely wouldn’t have.”

“When i just started the programme my craving for alcohol was rampant in me, but because i was off alcohol for so long i really did not want to relapse. So for me ARC just came at the right time. I had to make a few additional changes to my life and one was coming out of isolation and becoming part of a community. After six weeks my mood has improved from 1 to 8. A bit more confidence even wanting to go back to work which i never thought would happen.”
