Let me introduce myself - I’m Becca — I’m 51, a mum of two, slightly bonkers (in the best possible way!) and very excited to be starting my journey towards becoming a Personal Trainer with the Lifetime Fitness family.
I’m definitely not new to Lifetime Fitness though! I’ve been part of the family for the last two years, training with the brilliant Dave, who has now taken me under his wing as his protégé. Don’t worry, I’m still very much training under Dave — so I haven’t escaped his workouts just because I’ve decided to take the next leap and become a PT! 😂 I’m currently working my way through my PT Diploma, learning loads along the way and slowly finding my own instructor voice.
I’ve always had a love for fitness in general, going right back to my figure-skating days as a teenager. Over the years, I’ve always found a way to fit exercise into my lifestyle — from aerobics and fitness DVDs at home, to Zumba, yoga and even a bit of pole fitness! Pretty much anything that’s got me moving! But I think the biggest impact on me has come since joining Lifetimr Fitness. It’s changed the way I think about not just exercise, but my body, nutrition and the importance of properly fuelling it.
And the funny thing is, at 51, I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been — both physically and mentally. 💪
That’s probably one of the biggest things I’ve learnt: fitness isn’t simply about exercising to change how you look. It’s about getting stronger, feeling better, having more energy, building confidence and looking after your mind as well as your body.
I’m a huge believer that fitness should be fun! It shouldn’t feel like a punishment or another boring chore on your to-do list. I want to encourage people to push themselves outside their comfort zone, try things they perhaps never thought they could do and, most importantly, enjoy the process… with plenty of laughs along the way!
I love the social side of fitness too. Meeting people, making new friends, encouraging each other and celebrating those little wins can make such a difference. I want everyone to feel that Lifetime Fitness is a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where you can come as you are, have a go, ask questions and feel comfortable.
One thing I’m particularly passionate about is women and weights. As we get older, strength becomes so important, and I’d love to help women feel more confident around the weights area and discover just how strong they can actually be.
I’m also not going to pretend I live on chicken and broccoli. Outside of training, I’m just a mum who loves cheese, chocolate and the occasional glass of red w**e. 🧀🍫🍷 Because life is about balance — and you can enjoy the things you love while still looking after yourself.
I’m still learning, still studying and definitely still finding my instructor voice, but I’m incredibly excited about this next chapter.
I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you, meeting new members, making people feel welcome and hopefully helping our already fantastic Lifetime Fitness community grow even bigger.
So if you see me around the gym or if you decide to come to clsss come- say hello! 👋 I promise I’m friendly… although there is a high chance I’ll eventually have you in a wall sit. 😂
Here’s to getting stronger, feeling better, stepping outside our comfort zones and having a bloody good laugh while we’re doing it! ❤️💪
