Brainstrust
At ACE Corporate Fitness, we believe that everyone deserves access to expert-led support, no matter where they are in their journey. That’s why we’re proud to propose a meaningful collaboration with Brainstrust, focused on empowering people living with a brain tumour diagnosis through tailored physical activity, guided recovery, and a supportive community.
​
​We have lived experience of the brain tumour journey. Our Founder Helen Charnock trod that path in 2020 with her own Meningioma surgery and recovery path. Indeed it was partly this experience that directly lead to the formation of the company after the realisation that pro active health and wellbeing programs make a huge difference to a successful recovery outcome.

our collaboration
We believe that everyone deserves access to expert-led support, no matter where they are in their journey. We understand the emotional demands of preparing for surgery and the need for a complete holistic approach to rebuilding mental and physical strength post surgery. We also understand the feeling of loneliness that can sit with you even when surrounded by family and friends.
​
That’s why we’re proud to align with Brainstrust, focused on empowering people living with a brain tumour diagnosis through tailored physical activity, guided recovery, and a supportive community.
The collaboration will combine ACE’s established digital infrastructure, including our ACE Active Network, a hub for online classes, challenges, and support. With Brainstrust’s understanding of the lived experience of brain tumours. Together, we’ll build an accessible framework that includes:
​
-
Specialist online communities, like the ACE Brainstrust Wellness Hub with chat room, where participants can share, learn, and recover alongside one another with guidance from both fitness and mental health professionals.
-
Live online seminars with medical and health experts, focused on fatigue, recovery at home, and navigating the tumour journey with confidence etc.
-
Individualised training options, from 1:1 virtual personal training to bespoke plans designed for those preparing for key fundraising events like Follow the Seagulls.
-
Fundraising integration, with structured 6-week challenges and a major annual community event designed to raise money while boosting physical and mental strength.​
​
Our approach is inclusive, realistic, and always person first. Every session, programme, or resource is designed with flexibility in mind, understanding that every day might look different for someone affected by a brain tumour.
​
We believe that health support should be more than just clinical, it should be holistic, hopeful, and human. That’s what ACE x Brainstrust is all about.
