Hi Members
Here at Physique we always strive to help as many people as possible and because of this we have instructors that have real life experience, and this is why we get you and are always wanting to help.
Here is my story :-
I hope that by reading this you or someone you know will be inspired or ask for help with their fitness.
Ten years ago today I got my life back! It is hard to believe that it is ten years since I had my first knee replacement and literally started my fitness journey.
Previous to this I had a disabled badge, was massively overweight and could not walk more than a few steps due to arthritic knees and I was only 43 years of age.
One day something inside me said something had to change and I began my weight loss journey with aim to losing enough weight to have the surgery. It was not easy as I was in constant pain but bit by bit, I lost enough weight and found a lovely consultant who looked after me for a further 6 years until he replaced my other knee. I even have him as a friend on socials – I can feel him rolling his eyes every time I have done something extreme like a Great North Run – 4 of them😂🙄
After the first surgery I found a love for fitness – walking, weights and generally trying to improve myself. I decided to complete my Personal Training qualification and since then have never looked back.
Yes, I have to sometimes change exercises and adapt and lately have had to change my style of training due to a tear in my Achillies, but I still train and try to keep on top of my weight (cut me in half and I say half chocolate half Physique 😂😂😂) – that’s always the hard bit especially if you like food 😬
It is never easy and every day is different but by staying strong and consistent my fitness levels are high, my mental health is strong, and I am so passionate about fitness and helping others.
Not many people will see before photos of me – I don’t have many but if I can help just one person with their fitness or overcome injuries, weight loss or simply believe in themselves again it would mean sharing my story would have been worth it❤️
Please help us help others by sharing this post
Thank you for taking the time to read
