CAROLINE’S STORY (SLIGHTLY LONGER POST BUT MOST DEFINITELY WORTH THE READ)
“Several years ago I was fit enough to be a firefighter. Unfortunately I sustained 2 knee injuries resulting in 2 knee operations and 13 months of rehab. My fitness and motivation took a massive hit little did I know how bad it would get. 2.5 years ago I was involved in a horrendous car crash where I was hit by a bus and shunted forward. This resulted in me sustaining neck and spinal injuries in multiple sites. Overnight I was fighting for my job, became house bound needing 24/7 care and a wheelchair or crutches to get around.
3 months ago I made one of the hardest but best decisions and contacted S&P. Terrified I wheeled myself in and immediately the positivity was overwhelming. Since then I have been working with Laura once a week (hopefully soon to increase!) 3 months ago I was struggling with mobility and some of the most basic exercises. Just moving around the gym and getting on and off the floor was an exercise in itself never mind picking anything off it! I struggled with a lot of exercises including: bridges (I couldn't get my back off the floor), I struggled getting into the dead bug position, squats were only body weight. My flexibility was almost nonexistent and mentally I wanted to pack it all in as I felt there was no hope and no point in continuing.
Over the last 3 months I have gone from needing the wheelchair to using crutches and now unaided. Through consistently attending each week the above issues are no longer a problem and we have progressed further than I could have dreamed in such a short time. I look forward each week to coming to see what we will improve on this time.
I am by no means where I want to be and yes I still get good, bad and ugly weeks but I now have better confidence and belief that physically and mentally anything is possible if you stick to it. Where I was yesterday doesn't have to define where I am today or tomorrow. I am now excited at the possibilities of where I will go”

There’s too much publicity about ‘short cuts’, fast and easy solutions’
⏱ Six minute abs’
⚖️ Lighter life’
🌿 Herbalife’
💸 Slender tone abs’
💊 Shakes and capsules
People seem to chase short cuts.
The quick, fast, easy route.
They sell themselves short of reaping the real rewards.
❓The problem with all of these is lack of sustainable results
You are not required to make habit changes.
If you don’t change the habits that got you there in the first place your transformation will never be permanent.
Sometimes it takes a little thinking outside of the box, changing habits and behaviours. Establish a healthy relationship with both food and exercise. Seek accountability and education from someone who knows, who has been there and fallen into every pit fall...

WHY THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
What do you see when you look at this picture?
❤️ Epitome of health?
🏋🏻♀️ Fitness?
☺️ Happiness?
🔐 Success?
Taken back in 2012 when I competed in a figure competition, this picture reminds me of life at it’s most extreme.
I was tired 😴 depleted, my menstrual cycle had stopped and my body was growing excess hair to compensate for the weight I had lost.
To me, this is a perfect example of what we see on Instagram... those honed, perfectly sculpted models with chiselled six packs.
The Californian dream 🤩🤩🤩 selling the ideal that with the perfect body you will achieve wealth, fame, success and everything will click into place 🔐🔥 what you don’t see are the sacrifices made to get there... the hunger, the long days, exhaustion, mental fog, cancelling social plans.
Stop chasing social media ideals, set your own goals and be true to yourself
SUSTAINABLE HAPPINESS is the 🔑
