A quick snapshot of one our Happy Hearts sessions
You can make each session personalised to you by choosing the different options and modifications offered.
Our February MEMBER OF THE MONTH is Sue Keene from Warminster.
​
Sue attends our Codford and South Newton classes.
​
She joined us following her heart attack in July 2023, in need of some help and advice in improving her heart health and general fitness, Sue also suffers quite badly with arthritis.
Sue has been attending Happy Hearts for roughly eight months, in this short time she has consistently shown determination and perseverance in improving her fitness, initially she was not always able to do the exercises required but she warmly embraced any alternative options that we offered.
​
When Sue misses face to face sessions she always asks for a recorded online session to replace them so as not to miss out and keep her now improving fitness level consistent.
​
Just recently Sue had a little setback with her health, but like the trooper that she is, she picked herself up, dusted herself off, put her positive hat on and got on with it.
​
Sue is a wonderful addition to our lovely, lively, positive Happy Hearts membership. Well done Sue you thoroughly deserve this nomination.
If only 10% of our members are helped to avoid any future heart surgery in one year, the NHS could save over two million pounds.
It's About PHYSICAL and MENTAL Health
Salli Grant is the Founder of Happy Hearts and has dedicated her life over decades, to support many thousands in rural and urban communities, and the results continue to be truly life-changing. She is a sparkling antidote for those who suffer from the debilitating psychological effects of illness and isolation. Those in her classes are fitter, happier and healthier from the friendly and fun atmosphere that is generated by Happy Hearts, which has become a second home for so many.
Although exercise is a major contributor to a patient’s ‘road to recovery’, Salli provides a network of much-needed emotional support and a mechanism to combat isolation, where experiences and worries can be shared, new and strong friendships formed. Her boundless energy, great enthusiasm and, above all, passionate desire to provide safe, progressive and fun exercise sessions has undoubtedly succeeded in improving the quality of life of many with heart problems in the South West.
90% of our members are in the 60 to 80 years age bracket, many of whom live alone and the weekly meetings provide a lifeline and a social event to which they look forward.

Meet The Team
Happy Hearts has been a massive part of my rehabilitation and I would recommend Salli's classes to anyone who has had, or is having, Cardiac problems - or just wants to get fit in a fun and vibrant exercise class... you are all welcome!
Nigel, Happy Hearter
They aren’t just exercise classes - it is evident that the emotional effects of heart surgery can cause anxiety and depression - this can cause problems at home, work and socially. But exercising and talking to others in the same position got me through it and to where I am today - a fit, healthy 70 year old!
Geoff, Happy Hearter
