    I use my local council run gym. They have trainers and personal fitness assessments. Speaking to someone there should be able to sort you out with some advice which won’t cost nearly as much as these independant "chain" fitness studios like Fitness First etc.

    Of course, speaking to your GP helps, they will be able to tell you when and how much exercise is wise to start off.

    I had a hernia repair a few years back but I’ve been at the gym doing all sorts with no problems for a long while now.

    Your doctor would be the best person to answer that, as he has access to your medical record, and will know the exact surgery you had, whether there were any complications and how soon it will take to heal.

    your nurse or doctor is the best person to ask for a training program, but it doesn’t have to cost you, when you are feeling better try going for a walk avoid any stomach exercises for at least 8 weeks after surgery, some swimming pools and sports centres in Britain do an access card to the pools you can usually apply at the centre and if you are on benefits can get a free pass for certain days to access the facilities, all you have to do is prove you are receiving benefits and they do the rest so asking at your local centre might be an idea, swimming would be a great start as it is low impact on you joints and muscles and the water supports your weight so less strenuous, its a great way to build up your fitness, the main thing is to take it slowly walking and swimming is a great start, and I’m sure your nurse will tell you what else you can do. good luck hope all goes well.
