**I didn't think I'd last the month…**

Hey hey fans

Sharon didn't exactly have enormous expectations for herself when she joined us 😂

In fact...

She didn't think she'd even make it past the first month.

Which, to be fair, wasn't completely unreasonable.

She'd tried getting into fitness at home before.

Started.

Lost interest.

Stopped.

Started again.

Stopped again.

And traditional gyms?

Absolutely not her thing.

So when Sharon joined FitBody, I don't think she was picturing this becoming some great new love affair 😂

She just knew she was getting increasingly unfit and needed to do something about it.

Fast forward a little bit...

She's now in MONTH THREE.

Now..?

She actually enjoys going.

I'll let Sharon tell you the rest 👇

What problem were you trying to solve by coming to FitBody, Sharon?

I knew I was really unfit and felt like I was becoming more so as I got older.

I don't feel comfortable at all in traditional gyms, so I'd start fitness routines at home instead — but I just wouldn't keep them going. I'd soon lose interest and stop.

I was also struggling with my weight and felt like nothing I was trying was working.

I knew I needed to do something, but I needed to find something I could actually stick to.

What's the BIGGEST lesson you learned while at FitBody?

The biggest thing I've learned is that on the days I go to FitBody, I feel better.

I have more energy and feel more positive.

I've also realised that I can fit the sessions into my life really easily and — something I genuinely didn't expect — I actually enjoy going!

I'm learning more about nutrition too, particularly how I can get more protein into my vegetarian diet, and I'm definitely becoming more conscious of the food choices I make.

What results did you achieve?

I can already feel that I'm fitter.

In my first session I couldn't even hold a plank and now it's much easier.

I'm noticing the difference outside FitBody too — I'm less breathless in everyday life and generally feel fitter.

The coaches are really friendly and funny, but they're also great at making sure you're doing the movements correctly. The sessions are really well organised and the music keeps you motivated.

I would highly recommend FitBody.

I honestly never thought I'd enjoy it and thought I wouldn't even last the sign-up month...

But here I am in month three!

Me again 🙋‍♂️

This bit:

“I never thought I'd enjoy it and thought I wouldn't last the sign-up month, but here I am in month 3.”

😁

THAT'S the result I like.

Because yes...

Sharon can hold a plank now when she couldn't in her first session.

She's less breathless.

She's got more energy.

She's learning about her nutrition.

All brilliant.

But none of that happens for very long if you hate the thing you're doing to achieve it.

Sharon had already proved that to herself with the home workouts.

She could start them.

She just couldn't keep them going.

Now she's noticed something completely different...

On the days she comes to FitBody:

She feels better.

More energised.

More positive.

And rather than having to force herself to exercise...

She actually enjoys coming.

Three months might not sound particularly dramatic.

But when you started out genuinely thinking...

“I probably won't even last a month.”

I reckon it's pretty bloody good 😁

Awesome work Sharon 💪

If you've started exercise more times than you can remember but never seem to stick with it...

Maybe you don't need more motivation. Maybe you just haven't found something you actually enjoy doing yet.

Comment INFO and I'll send you some info on how FitBody works.

Hey hey  fansEver walked into a gym and thought...What the f*ck am I supposed to do with all THIS? 😂Machines everywhere....

Hey hey fans

Ever walked into a gym and thought...

What the f*ck am I supposed to do with all THIS? 😂

Machines everywhere.

Weights everywhere.

People who appear to know exactly what they're doing everywhere.

Meanwhile you're trying to work out whether you're supposed to sit on something, pull it,
push it...
..or whether it's actually just a coat rack 😂

That's pretty much where one of our members was before FitBody.

She wanted to get fitter.

She just didn't know where to start.

And the thought of walking into a gym and trying to figure it all out herself?

No thanks.

Which is one of the reasons I liked her little 'Story So Far'...

Have a read 👇

What problem were you trying to solve by coming to FitBody, Lois?

I wanted to get fit, but I didn't know where to start.

I'd always been afraid of going to the gym because I wouldn't know what to do or how to use the equipment.

That was probably the biggest thing holding me back.

What’s the BIGGEST lesson you learned while at FitBody?

I've learned that it isn't about how much weight you can lift or comparing yourself to anybody else.

Everyone makes progress in their own way.

You just work at your own level and gradually see what you're capable of.

What results did you achieve?

I may not have lost loads on the scales, but my measurements and progress photos show me the results I've achieved.

I've learned not to judge all of my progress by one number on the scales.

Me again 🙋‍♂️

There's actually two really important things in that.

The first:

“I wanted to get fit but didn't know where to start.”

I think sometimes we assume everyone knows how to exercise.

They don't.

And why bloody should they?

You wouldn't walk into a garage, get handed a toolbox and be expected to know how to
service your car.

Yet somehow with gyms we think we're supposed to walk in and instinctively know what
everything does.

That's OUR job.

We tell you what you're doing.

We show you how to do it.

And we help you adjust it to where you're at.

Which brings me nicely to her other lesson...

“It's not about the weights you can lift. Everyone makes progress in their own way.”

Exactly.

You don't need to keep up with the woman next to you.

You don't need to lift what she lifts.

And you certainly don't need to arrive already fit.

You just need to start from your starting point.

And then there's the scales...

She hasn't seen a massive drop.

But her measurements and progress photos have changed.

Which is precisely why one number doesn't get to decide whether you're making progress.

Sometimes the scales are useful.

Sometimes they're a right k**b 😂

Either way, they're only one way of measuring what's changing.

If you'd like to get fitter but genuinely don't know where to start...That's literally what we're here for.

Comment INFO and I'll show you how FitBody works.

P.S. You don't need to know your squats from your Romanian deadlifts before you arrive. In fact, you don't even need to know what a Romanian deadlift is 😂 Comment INFO and we'll sort the rest.

Heya fans

It's funny how some of the stuff we decide about ourselves when we're young can hang around for YEARS.

"I'm not sporty."
"I'm rubbish at exercise."
"Gyms aren't really for people like me."

Sometimes there's not even much evidence for it anymore.

It's just...

something we've believed about ourselves for a very long time.

Which is why I really liked this little 'Story So Far'.

One of our members told me she'd been terrified of sport since school.

She's now 57.

She knew getting stronger was becoming more important, so eventually she took the
plunge and joined us.

Her next battle?

Actually turning up 😂

She admits she had every excuse in the book ready.

Six weeks later...

She hasn't missed a single session.

Better still?

She's not going because she feels she has to.

She's going because she WANTS to.

What problem were you trying to solve by coming to FitBody, Kat?

I'd followed FitBody on Instagram for about six months. It looked fun, but ever since school I've always been terrified of sport.

I knew that was a mental block and, as I was getting older, it was becoming increasingly unhelpful.

I'm 57 and, in my own words, was "weak as a kitten". I was ashamed of that and very aware that I needed to start building some strength.

So late one Sunday night, after months of watching from the sidelines, I finally took the plunge and sent an enquiry.

Nick couldn't have been more understanding, and I joined up.

The next battle?

Actually turning up!

I was ready with every excuse in the book...

What’s the BIGGEST lesson you learned while at FitBody?

I've learned that exercise can actually be fun — and that I don't have to be scared of it.

Everything is laid out for you and you're guided and supported through every exercise according to your own capabilities.

There's no floof or fuss.

The other girls are brilliant, the booking system is easy and unrestricted, there's loud music and free parking!

Six weeks in, I'm not keeping going because I feel like I have to anymore.

I'm keeping going because I want to.

What results did you achieve?

Six weeks in and I haven't missed a single session.

I'm getting stronger, I'm enjoying exercise and, most importantly, I've proved to myself that I can actually do this.

I'm not usually one for selfies, but I'm "secretly" proud of myself thanks to FitBody.

I might even treat myself to an actual pair of trainers... 👟😂

Me again 🙋‍♂️

There's a line in there I absolutely LOVE:

"I'm 'secretly' proud of myself."

Nope.

None of this secretly bo****ks 😂

Be proud of yourself.

Because I don't think the biggest achievement here is the six weeks without missing a
session.

It's challenging something she'd believed about herself since school.

Sport isn't for me.

I'm weak.

I'll probably find an excuse not to go.

And then actually giving herself the opportunity to find out whether any of that was still true.

Turns out...

She enjoys it.

That's a pretty decent lesson for all of us, really.

Sometimes the things we say we're "just not the sort of person who does"...
..are things we've simply never found our way of doing yet.

Oh, and after six weeks she might finally buy herself an actual pair of trainers 😂👟

Nick "No Floof, No Fuss" Slater

P.S. If you've carried "exercise isn't really for me" around for years too, maybe don't assume it's true forever. And if you ever fancy testing the theory with us, drop INFO in the comments & I’ll get some over.

** Mum, you seem happier...**

Hey hey fans,

Kids notice EVERYTHING, don't they? 😂

(Little surveilance cameras with opinions ...)

And sometimes they'll spot a change in you before you even properly notice it yourself.

Kate joined FitBody wanting to improve her fitness and confidence...

But she had another reason too.

She wanted to be a better role model for her daughter.

Fast forward a little while and her 10-year-old recently said something to her that I absolutely LOoooVE...

"You seem happier and have more energy on the days you go to the gym."

🥹

I'll take that as a result ALL. DAY. LONG.

Here's Kate's little 'Story So Far'...

What problem were you trying to solve by coming to FitBody, Kate?

I wanted to improve my fitness, self confidence and also be a better role model for my daughter.

What’s the BIGGEST lesson you learned while at FitBody?

I've learnt that exercise can actually be fun!

The sessions go by so quickly and the variety of different exercises keeps everything fresh.

The other ladies are so welcoming and friendly too.

I'm quite an introvert, so going to new places and meeting new people can be slightly daunting, but I didn't feel like that here. I felt at home with everyone straight away.

I've recently had a two-week break while I was on holiday and I actually found myself missing the sessions!

I never thought I'd be saying that 😂

I'm very happy to be back.

What results did you achieve?

I've noticed a real improvement in my stamina and strength.

I've lost kilos and centimetres and I'm feeling much better in myself.

But one of the nicest results actually came from my 10-year-old daughter, who recently said:

"You seem happier and have more energy on the days you go to the gym."

Considering one of the reasons I joined was to be a better role model for her, that means a lot.

Me again 🙋‍♂️

Of all the results Kate mentioned...

That last one wins for me.

Yep, she's lost weight and centimetres.

She's stronger.

Her stamina's improved.

She feels better in herself.

But her 10-year-old daughter has noticed that Mum seems happier and has more energy.

That's pretty special.

And there's another bit of Kate's story I think is worth mentioning...

She's an introvert (Hello from a fellow introvert 👋)

Walking into somewhere new, surrounded by people she doesn't know, isn't naturally her idea of fun.

Yet she said:

"I felt at home with them straight away."

And after two weeks away on holiday...

She actually MISSED coming to FitBody.

From being nervous about walking through the door...
..to missing it when she can't come.

I reckon we'll take that 😁

Awesome work Kate 💪💪

If the thought of walking into somewhere new makes you nervous too, don't let that be the thing that stops you.

DM "INFO" and I'll run you through exactly what happens when you start.

**The perimenopause "tummy tyre"**

Hey hey fans,

I've got another little 'Story So Far' for you today...

And Andrea's reasons for joining were refreshingly straightforward.

Get fitter.

Improve how she felt about her body.

Keep her weight under control.

And, in Andrea's words...

"Try and do something about the "tummy tyre" that seems to arrive around perimenopause"

Fair enough.

But what's happened since she started is probably more interesting...

She's exercising regularly.

She's trying things she'd NEVER have done by herself.

She's got more energy.

And...

She's actually enjoying it.

Have a read 👇

What problem were you trying to solve by coming to FitBody, Andrea?

I joined FitBody because I wanted to become fitter all round, improve how my body looked and get better control of my weight.

I also wanted to do something about that tummy tyre us ladies seem to get around peri-menopause!

I wanted to become more mentally focused when exercising, set myself a goal and, most importantly, actually get into a routine of exercising regularly.

What’s the BIGGEST lesson you learned while at FitBody?

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that you have to put the effort in and push yourself during the circuits — but you can actually enjoy doing it!

I'm doing exercises I would never have even considered doing by myself, which keeps it fun and I've discovered muscles I didn't know I had!

I've also learned more about the food side of things.

The food menu is excellent — although I somehow managed to completely miss it in my first week ....so if you're nervous about starting, don't be, everyone is really friendly and there's genuinely nothing to worry about.

What results did you achieve?

I've lost a bit of weight so far, I'm feeling much more energised and I'm really enjoying the training.

I'd never even measured my body before starting FitBody, so I'm now looking at progress differently rather than only thinking about the scales.

Most importantly, I'm exercising regularly, feeling fitter and actually enjoying what I'm doing.

Me again 🙋‍♂️

There's loads I like about Andrea's update.

She's lost 1kg.

She's feeling more energised.

She's learning about food.

She's exercising regularly.

All good stuff.

But this bit stood out to me:

"Doing exercises I would never consider, which makes it fun."

That's a big part of why we do FitBody the way we do.

Walk into a normal gym by yourself and what tends to happen?

You gravitate towards the few things you already know how to do.

Do them for a bit.

Get bored.

Go home.

At FitBody, you don't need to figure any of that out.

We do the thinking.

You turn up.

Follow the session.

Try things you probably wouldn't have tried yourself.

And occasionally discover a muscle you didn't know existed until it starts complaining the following morning 😂

Andrea also said something I'd really like anyone who's nervous about joining to hear:

"Everyone is very friendly — no need to worry starting."

Straight from someone who's actually done it.

Awesome work Andrea — keep going 💪💪

[First Name], if you're fed up of trying to figure exercise out by yourself, don't.
