Recommendations provided by Dan Fernandes.
Here at Active Care, we meet with clients daily and answer a whole host of questions about how they can improve their lifestyle, health conditions or recover from injuries. Having worked in the industry for many years there are many products, tools and exercises that we have personally tried and tested. Between our team, we have compiled a list of our Top Recommended Products of 2023 and are delighted to share these with you.
This feature isn’t about us selling products to make ourselves money (although we do receive a tiny commission if you purchase via our links) but instead we are ensuring that we can have the information readily available for you should you ask.
Each of the products and methods have been tested by us as practitioners with great results so if you have any questions do reach out to get in touch.

4. Beginners2Runners
Technically this isn’t a product but we just can’t help recommending a healthy lifestyle and believe there can be so much relief to be found by exercising regularly but also by socialising with a wide range of people with the same goal – to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Beginners2Runners runs 23 groups across Kent, some in Maidstone but also in Gravesend, Tonbridge & Medway.
There are a few membership and pay as you go options but you can attend a taster session completely free. If you want to see what it is all about why not give it a go?
