Member shout out today to . Lynsey has done amazing in her time with us so far. She has been super consistent and gone about her health and fitness in the right way!
See what she said about her time with us below ⬇️
Where were you before you started with us?
I was terrified of gyms and fed up with how I was feeling. I had some weights at home but no accountability or structure. I play hockey, but I knew I needed to do some strength + conditioning if I wanted to keep playing and reduce the number of injuries.
Was there anything you were sceptical about before starting?
I was worried that I wouldn’t fit in. Gyms were never places I felt comfortable in, & I thought I’d be completely out of place & unable to do the exercises. But everyone was so welcoming & reassuring. No matter what injuries you have or what level you’re starting from, there’s always an adaptation or alternative. I was also concerned about the time commitment, but that’s actually one of the things I love about Improve Fitness, 45-minute workouts. I used to spend hours in the gym, which took up my whole evening and felt like a chore, with very few results
When did you realise you had made the right move?
Within the first week, I already felt more energetic & actually looked forward to training. By weeks 2 & 3, going to group sessions had just become part of my routine, & it never felt like a chore. By week 4, as I got to know more people, I started to really enjoy the craic, & training became the perfect way to lift my mood after stressful days at work. That’s when I knew I wanted to join long-term, & I haven’t looked back. I never thought I would be one of those gym people who was chuffed to get a PB but here I am! Ian is always just a message away, and training is now a non-negotiable part of both my routine and my budget!
What results have you got in your time?
I have more energy, better mobility, improved sleep and diet, and I generally feel happier within myself. I’ve lost about 9lb and still have a bit to go, but I’m far less focused on the number on the scales because how I feel completely outweighs that. I am partial to a bottomless brunch and enjoy nights out, so I’m happy with slow and steady weight loss. I’d also say training has improved both my hockey performance & my recovery.
Who would you recommend this for?
Honestly, anyone. There’s a great mix within the membership, and everyone benefits in a way that’s tailored to them. For me, I’d especially recommend it to anyone who doesn’t feel confident in large commercial gyms or to those who are short on time—Improve Fitness is perfect. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t join sooner!
