Bernie Hards

Bernie is always the person on the end of the phone, running an office outside of the leisure centre, she can deal with general enquiries, making or rearranging appointments or she is always happy to just have a chat.. Bernie is an ex semi pro cyclist and has represented GB for duathlon also. In 2012 Bernie was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm which unfortunately ruptured and has left her with a left side disability. This hasn’t stopped her we still get her on a tandem and she keeps to her exercise regime. So when we say we live and breathe rehab… we really do!! Bernie will always try and accommodate a session in the diary wherever possible to assist the patient to be seen as soon as we can.
