A paralysed former bodybuilder says going to fitness classes has made an “amazing difference” to his life.
Kevin Jenkins, 62, from Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, had an aortic dissection in 2023 which led to him becoming paralysed from the waist down and needing a wheelchair.
After 18 months of NHS physiotherapy, he joined a non-profit group in Lincoln which aims to make physical activity accessible to everyone and is run by former army physical trainer Rob Wilkins.
Kevin thought he would “never be able to stand up again” but is now able to get himself in and out of his wheelchair.
