Ashleigh came to me feeling very nervous about stepping into the gym, like so many others who worry about being judged for their fitness or appearance. But she had an additional challenge: Ashleigh was living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a condition that affects connective tissues and had led to painful joint dislocations. Understandably, she was hesitant to engage in any activity that could trigger these episodes, making everyday tasks, like a shopping trip to the metrocentre, feel daunting.
Fast forward twelve months, and Ashleigh has been nothing short of amazing! She consistently pushed through her workouts, even when they stretched her comfort zone. Her hard work paid off in a big way—she recently felt strong and confident enough to take an incredible holiday to Japan!
This is what Ashleigh has said about her experience so far:
"Before I started working with Yvonne, I was intimidated by the gym and worried that my poor fitness would stand out. From day one, Yvonne made me feel supported, tailoring each session to my abilities while keeping the atmosphere fun and encouraging. Thanks to Yvonne's guidance, I've seen significant improvements in my mobility, confidence, and strength, and I no longer avoid social events or holidays. The sessions are always challenging but doable, with the perfect balance of work and recovery. I'm stronger than ever, and my overall health has improved in ways I never expected!"
