⚠️ A LITTLE HEADS UP FROM ME…

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about joining DLS, now might be the time to stop thinking about it! 👀

I’ll be making some price increases soon, so joining before the new prices come into effect means you can secure your current package/rate.

And remember — our contracts are designed to make personal training more affordable, rather than paying full PAYG prices every time you train.

You don’t need to be fit before you join.

You don’t need to know what you’re doing.

And you definitely don’t need to walk through the door feeling confident.

That’s what we’re here for. 💜

So… are you a “I’ll start next month” person? 😂

👇 Be honest:

🅰️ I’m joining now
🅱️ I’ll start next month
🅲️ I’ve been saying “next month” for 3 years 😂

📩 Message me if you want to know which package would suit you.

🎂 CATH TURNED 40… SO OBVIOUSLY WE NEEDED A PULL-UP! 😂💪

What better way to celebrate your 40th birthday than doing a pull-up to blow out your birthday candle?! 🎈😂

Cath absolutely smashed this — and I LOVE seeing our ladies doing things they probably never thought they’d be able to do! 🥹💜

It’s not always about the scales.

Sometimes it’s:
💪 Getting stronger
🏋️ Lifting heavier
🙌 Doing something you couldn’t do before
🎂 And occasionally… using a pull-up to blow out your birthday candle! 😂

HAPPY 40TH CATH! 🥳💜

Now be honest…

👇 What would YOU rather do to celebrate your birthday?

🎂 Blow out a candle normally
💪 Do a pull-up
🏋️ Hit a new PB
🍰 Just eat the cake 😂

WHICH DLS GYM PERSON ARE YOU? 😂👇

1️⃣ The Early Bird
6am. Bright-eyed. Full of energy.
Absolutely suspicious. 👀

2️⃣ The “I Hate This Exercise” Girl
Complains throughout the entire set…

…and then secretly loves the results. 😂

3️⃣ The Heavy Lifter
“Donna, is this heavy enough?”

Me: NO.
Her: 😭

4️⃣ The Social Butterfly 🦋
Comes for the workout.

Stays for the gossip. 😂

5️⃣ The Quiet Assassin
Doesn’t say much.

Then casually lifts something ridiculously heavy. 💪

6️⃣ The “I Nearly Didn’t Come” Girl
Arrives saying she nearly stayed home…

Leaves saying “I’m so glad I came.” 🥰

7️⃣ The Newbie
“I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Give her a few weeks…

Suddenly she’s telling everyone else how to do it. 😂💪

Which one are you? 👇

And if you’re a mixture of several…

You’re definitely a DLS girl. 💜

💜 7 YEARS OF DLS FITNESS 💜
📍 7 years at Stump Lane!

Honestly… where has the time gone?! 🥹

7 years ago I took a massive leap of faith and started DLS Fitness at Stump Lane.

I had absolutely no idea where it would take me.

There have been some AMAZING times… and there have also been times when I’ve questioned everything, felt completely overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted and wondered whether I could keep going.

But I did. ❤️

And when I look around the gym now, I realise just how much has been built here — and I couldn’t have done it without you.

To every single person who has ever walked through those doors…

The people who have been here for years.
The people who joined recently.
The people who came, left and came back again. 😂
The people who recommended a friend.
The people who shared my posts.
The people who have told someone, “You should try DLS.”

THANK YOU. 🥹💜

I’ve always relied massively on word of mouth, and the fact that people have trusted me enough to recommend DLS to their friends, family and colleagues honestly means more to me than I can put into words.

Every new person who walks through that door because someone told them about me is a little reminder that all the hard work has been worth it.

And then there’s my husband, Chris. ❤️

A very special thank you to you.

You’ve seen ALL of it.

The excitement.
The stress.
The tears.
The late nights.
The worrying.
The “I’m shutting the gym down tomorrow” moments 😂
…and then me being completely fine again 20 minutes later! 🤣

Thank you for being my biggest emotional support through the stressful times and for listening to me endlessly talk about the gym.

I genuinely couldn’t have got through some of those moments without you. ❤️

So today I’m not just celebrating 7 years of a business.

I’m celebrating 7 years of people.

The friendships.
The transformations.
The confidence gained.
The laughs.
The sweat.
The tears.
The achievements.
The memories.
And the little community we’ve created together. 💜

DLS Fitness wouldn’t be DLS without the people in it.

So if you’ve ever been part of DLS — whether that was 7 years ago or 7 days ago — this celebration is yours too. 🥹💜

👇🏼 Tell me in the comments how long you’ve been part of DLS or share your favourite DLS memory!

Let’s see just how many of you have been through those doors over the last 7 years! 🥰

7 years. Still standing. Still lifting. Still growing. 💪🏼💜

And I’m not finished yet… 😉

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ❤️

SOMETHING NEW IS COMING… 👀

Introducing our new Circuit-Style Weight Training Sessions! 💜

⏱️ 45 minutes
👭 Small group sessions
🏋🏻‍♀️ Weight training focused
🎯 One body area per session
🙋🏻‍♀️ And… working out with Donna!

These won’t be your typical manic circuit classes.

We’ll still be focusing on progressive overload, good form and actually getting stronger — just in a fun, small-group format.

Perfect if you enjoy training with other women but still want that more personal feel.

Would you give this a go?

Keep your eyes peeled for the timetable 👀💜
