Here’s a favourite memory that pops up. The man to my left was my Great Grandfather Richard Ryding. He was the first man to put a man ingle handedly above his head on a bicycle 🚲 now when my mum first told me this before seeing the photograph, I quite honestly didn’t believe it.
This man was truly strong!!! I mean look at the size of his delts in the other pic?! 💪🏼💪🏼 this resonates with me so well and makes me feel proud to be part of such a strong family history. On my dad’s side him and my uncle would go train in the old style Ironman garage gyms pumping iron and loving training.
My dad did a triple bodyweight squat in his early 30’s and when I was a strongwoman athlete (in the photo) I did a triple bodyweight deadlift.
So yes I have very blessed genes 🧬 on both sides of my parents which is why the gym to me always makes sense.
You don’t need to find someone strange or obsessive when it comes to their own fitness goals as well as lifestyle - this is ME this is where my heart is ❤️🔥 and this is what has made me the woman I am today! Cheryl Taylor’D Fitness could not have been possible without what’s in my blood and passion and I cannot wait to see how far my future continues to grow.
