"I joined this class at the beginning of February without even knowing it existed, and it has been incredibly beneficial for both my physical wellbeing and my mental health. The group is very welcoming and supportive, and I’ve formed some great friendships since joining.

As for our instructor, Jamie, the class is very well organised and creates a real sense of safety and security. We all wear watches that record our heart rate, which we can monitor on the iPad.

Jamie is kind, caring, and always looking out for us—making sure we’re okay and carefully monitoring our heart rates, not just on the iPad but also with oximetry. I truly believe these classes are invaluable for people living with heart disease."

I had intermittent shortness of breath in 2025 which was ultimately diagnosed as aortic valve stenosis. I opted for a mechanical valve replacement as I’m 62 and cardio surgeon recommended this as a cow or pig valve may well need replacing before I was 80 and open heart surgery would be more risky at that age. I was knocked side ways for a few months after the surgery but slowly slowly with lots of help, especially attending Jamie’s classes, after about 8 months I reckon I felt better and was a lot fitter than before my operation. Jamie’s classes are an excellent work out. They are open to all and are not intimidating and work really well.

I started attending Jamie's classes straight out of the hospital rehab classes and I've never looked back. Jamie balances professionalism and friendliness and delivers effective exercise classes in an environment which feels safe and supportive. I thoroughly enjoy the classes and they have been a key part of helping me improve my fitness and heart health.

After my open heart surgery I was very. anxious when I had fished my six free cardiac exercise sessions. I then came to know about Jamie's classes to help patients further improve on their physical capabilities and have a stronger heart to make us healthy and strong.
His class had regulars who welcome me and made me feel so comfortable and happy that I now miss it if I don't go to the classes each time. I feel so much stronger and always look forward to each class. By the way I also am diabetic. It helps me to be disciplined in every way and keeps me on the right path.
Thank you Jamie. You are Ace.

I have been going to Jamie Pickett's twice weekly cardiac rehab group sessions for over 3 years and find them really excellent. He is incredibly caring and helpful. I have found the sessions very beneficial for my recovery from a quadruple heart by-pass. In fact I feel bad if I miss a session! I would highly recommend Jamie's sessions !   

Having done no exercise all my life, I started at the inception of Jamie's my movement medicine classes 3 years ago. I haven't looked back. It would be wrong to actually say I enjoy exercise but I feel so much better after a Jamie class and I really enjoy the social aspect. I feel fitter and do look forward to my Monday and Wednesday sessions. Thank you Jamie! 

“In April 2024, I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease and underwent a procedure to have two severe blockages treated with stents. Afterwards, I completed an eight-week cardiac rehabilitation programme through Imperial, which was excellent. When it came to an end, though, I was left wondering what support was available next.

​

That was when I found My Movement Medicine.

I joined MMM in August 2024 and have been attending ever since. The sessions provide a natural continuation from cardiac rehabilitation, with a strong focus on exercising safely, building confidence and improving health over the longer term.

​

Jamie is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist with a background in cardiac rehabilitation, and he takes great care to make sure everyone can take part safely. The sessions are enjoyable and welcoming, and exercises are adapted whenever someone is unable to complete a particular movement.

As I live outside London, I attend the sessions via Zoom, which works extremely well. There are usually several of us joining online, and although we have never met in person, there is a real sense of community. We often chat before and after the sessions, and the whole atmosphere is friendly and supportive.

​

I would thoroughly recommend My Movement Medicine to anyone looking for ongoing exercise support following a cardiac event. It provides the reassurance of clinically informed exercise alongside a genuinely welcoming community.”

I first met Jamie after my heart attack in 2023 when the hospital provided free six weeks of cardiovascular classes. I was impressed with his care and understanding and excellent music and the classes were fun!
I was delighted when Jamie said he was going to offer weekly private classes across the road from the hospital.
Following my move out of London Jamie began offering hybrid classes which meant I could join on Zoom, and which was such a relief as I had not managed to find any suitable classes locally.
I attend classes online twice a week and they provide an important anchor for me. Jamie is such an excellent teacher. I always feel safe and know that if I have any problems with an exercise, he will find a great alternative for me.
I am not a huge lover of exercise and yet I look forward to Jamie’s classes every time.   

I started Jamie's sessions 6 months ago and have found them enjoyable and helpful in rebuilding my health. Would definately recommend.
