World Mental Health Day on 10th October is an important reminder of how crucial it is to look after our wellbeing. This year’s theme is workplace mental health, focusing on taking care of both our minds and bodies. At Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, we know how powerful physical activity can be – not just for keeping fit, but also for improving our mental health. One of our gym instructors, Stuart, knows this better than most. Here’s Stuart’s story explaining how fitness has made a big difference in his life.

Stuart’s Story

“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.” – Simon Sinek

“Hi, I’m Stuart! I’m from Burntisland in Fife, and I work as a Gym Instructor at Carnegie Leisure Centre. I’ve always been interested in mental health, especially since I studied psychology at university. I’ve also had my own experiences with anxiety, and that’s why I know just how important exercise can be for mental wellbeing. Fitness has made a big difference to me, and now I get to help others feel better, get stronger, and build their confidence too.
