"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.

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! 

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 !   

In April 2024, I was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease. Luckily, I didn't have a heart attack but blockages of varying severity were found in numerous arteries. Two blockages were categorised as "Severe/Critical" and required the placement of stents. Following this procedure, I was invited to participate in the Imperial Cardiovascular Health Service Cardiac Rehabilitation Classes which met once a week, over eight weeks; these classes were excellent. At the end of the eight weeks, the question was: what next? That is when I heard about My Movement Medicine ("MMM").

I signed up to MMM in August 2024 and have been participating in classes ever since. The classes follow a similar format to the preceding NHS classes and similarly the attendees represent a broad range of cardiac events/conditions/treatments. Jamie Pickett who founded MMM is a Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinical Exercise Physiologist & Health Facilitator and is great! The classes are fun and great care is taken to ensure each participant's safety and well being. Not everyone is always able to do each exercise and in such cases alternative exercises are suggested and demonstrated.

As I live outside of London, I participate via Zoom as do four or five other people. The classes via Zoom work very well and although the Zoom participants haven't met physically, we have a good chat while waiting for each session to start and after each session it is usual for us to have another natter - it is all very friendly.

I thoroughly recommend My Movement Medicine to anyone who wants to improve their health status following a cardiac event. We are a friendly community and you would be welcomed.

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 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.
