Jays Story

On July 15, 2005, Detox-Fit's founder Jay Banczer suffered a serious accident. Slipping on the Thames Embankment, he fell 25 feet onto the exposed foreshore below. His femur was broken in four places, along with his right wrist, jaw and several teeth.
After two operations and a month in hospital under heavy sedation he was at a low ebb. There seemed little chance of a full recovery and even less of a return to his training career. "I felt weak, depressed and scared", Jay recalls. "But I decided that with the knowledge and experience I had that I had to fight back, regardless of the odds. I started by doing small exercises while still in bed, ignoring as much as I could the pain and the numbness in my damaged limbs.
As soon as I could support myself on crutches, I walked every day to the gym and swimming pool and insisted on regular physiotherapy and massage. What was most important, though, was my decision never to accept the fact that I would be unable to walk and run again normally". Jay's determination paid off. Exactly five months and 18 days after his accident, he resumed work as a professional trainer.
"I was able to prove to myself and others than positivity, determination and courage can overcome even the worst accidents and injuries." "I'm now back to my pre-accident levels of fitness. I run, lift weights and snowboard, but I feel even better than before because I know that I am stronger inside.
Today I use my real-life experience to help customers who have similar issues, working with them to overcome their disabilities, injuries and accidents.
I try to teach them that, no matter how bad a situation seems, there is always something we can do to improve it, that being strong and positive will always bring results."
