It wasn’t my idea to start with Transformation Fit and honestly I didn’t want to either. I was just fine the way I looked… right?
I’ve always been extremely active, it started from a young age. Hockey, horse riding, going to the gym. Loved being active and as a side note, I’ve never been thin. But then university happens, parties, boys, hangovers… you know the drill.
It slowly takes less of a priority till it stops. I also love to eat, going out for dinner, cocktails, Sunday lunches, the odd takeaway here and there… which eventually turned into the many takeaways and putting on a lot of weight. But everything was still fine… right?
Slowly but surely the weight-gain started to bother me, not enough to do something about it though. My husband (also part of team Transformation Fit) and I had tried multiple things over the years just to make an effort. Diets, T25, buying a spinning bike… etc. It worked for a while but the ‘shall we have a cheeky take away tonight started creeping back in and the spinning bike started gathering dust.
The point came where my husband was getting really down about his weight and he had found this place through instagram. Wasn’t sure, had a zoom call, sounded good but… (the usual excuse) let’s wait until lockdown ends. I still wasn’t interesting in being part of this losing weight journey, again.
Until September 2020 hit and I got dragged to this new gym on the promise that ‘let’s try the 28 days challenge’ if we like it we’ll stay, if we don’t we’ll quit’. I’d had personal trainers before and wasn’t too impressed but, as the lovely wife I am, I went along to support my husband (cause surely I wasn’t the one that needed to lose any weight…).
I was horrified when we arrived for our first session. There are more people here?! We’re working out in a group?! I thought you said this was personal training?! My worst nightmare. I didn’t want to be wearing tight workout clothes in my unfit state, struggling to keep up and have everybody staring at me. No way this isn’t for me…. Now I’m more than 10kgs (over 1.5stone) down and if I could wish for anything now, during this National lockdown, it’s for the TF gym to open again.
I absolutely love it! There’s no way you can’t live it. I have never felt so supported by the trainers, by the TF community and I’ve never felt this healthy in my life! No joke.
I would highly, highly, highly recommend anyone who is looking to get fitter, healthier and lose some weight to join this fantastic family. It has made my personal life better and my married life too.
It’s not even about the weight much anymore (but I can’t lie seeing the kilos/pounds coming off is an absolute joy!). It’s the good night sleep I’m getting, the clear skin and healthy hair, everything is just better when you feel good about yourself. (The moment you start needing new clothes cause old ones are too big… come on! Pure joy!)
It’s hard work, do not get me wrong, it’s bloody hard work! It’s also an emotional rollercoaster (you get that for free). But, it’s so unbelievably worth it, especially with the TF team behind you supporting you all the way! You put the work in and the trainers will equal that. It’s team work, you’re not on your own.
If you want to do something about your weight or health. Please consider joining the TF team. You really won’t regret it (and you won’t want to leave!).”
