FFIT Cymru - the series that transforms lives is back

4 April 2022

As everyone looks to rebuild their lives, FFIT Cymru will return to share positive and inspirational ideas with the nation.

Over a period of two months, five leaders from across Wales will seek to transform their health by following special plans from the three experts, personal trainer Rae Carpenter, psychologist Dr Ioan Rees and new this year food expert Beca Lyne-Pirkis.

Starting on Tuesday 5 April on S4C with Lisa Gwilym presenting, the experts will share advice and work closely with our leaders on how to keep fit, how to care for mental health and well-being and advise on how to adopt good eating habits.

The five leaders for this year's series are:

Bethan Davies, 39, from Merthyr Tydfil; Gafyn Owen, 48, of Ty Croes, Anglesey; Ruth Roberts, 40, of Abercynon; Twm Jones, 59, of Llanerchymedd and Wendy Thomas, 58, of Aberystwyth.

FFIT Cymru will be here to offer support to everyone and YOU will also be able to get involved at home by following the special food and fitness plans online on the FFIT Cymru website, www.s4c.cymru/ffitcymru and on social media @ffitcymru.

Siwan Haf, producer of the series, said: "FFIT Cymru can help people stay healthy - both physically and mentally especially when we have lived through difficult times.

"This is a multimedia platform that can offer guidance and a helping hand.

"We have already seen the incredible impact and transformation that FFIT Cymru has had on the lives of the leaders of our previous series, and we look forward to following the journey of our five new leaders who will receive advice at every stage of this unique tour from our three experts - which will inspire viewers at home as well."

Beca Lyne-Pirkis will be creating some new recipes for the leaders this year and these will be available to view and follow on the FFIT Cymru website, s4c.cymru/ffitcymru, as well as the new website and app, Cegin S4C.

Beca said: "As someone who is studying to be a dietician and has a keen interest in nutrition and cooking, the opportunity to be part of the team, create recipes and try to inspire the leaders with food, is fantastic.

"Our job is primarily to try and bring the balance back into the lives of our leaders.

"I just want to try and get our leaders to understand food a little better, and for them to see how putting so many good things in your body can help your health.

"I also want to inspire with different recipes and ideas, to bring that excitement back into cooking and eating."
