That’s because at Gymophobics, we see real women!

Women starting out, coming back after time away, or simply trying to move more and feel better. You’ll find every age, every shape, every fitness level, every background here at our gym. And that’s exactly how we like it because we’re a community of women supporting women – a local gym run by local ladies for ladies just like YOU!

This amazing lady Sara Cox raised over £9.5 million (at time of posting) for BBC Children In Need undertaking her Great Northern Marathon Challenge covering the equivalent of five marathons, over 135 miles in five days through very tough conditions!

What an INCREDIBLE achievement 🧡

What’s more Sara Cox is 50 years old!

In Sara’s own words; “I am representing the women out there over 50, and giving it as much welly as I can.

The whole ‘woman of a certain age' thing, we’re not having it! Are we women?” she said, as she was met with loud cheers from supporters.

Just shows as we always say at Gymophobics that “ AGE IS JUST A NUMBER”

Today we’re recognising WORLD DIABETES DAY.

Did you know that being physically active and taking regular exercise is good for all types of Diabetes (even Pre-Diabetes) making a difference to the quality of life and helping to better manage symptoms?

This is because taking exercise can help the body to use insulin better and process glucose by improving lean muscle mass. This increases your metabolic rate which in turn burns calories at a faster rate, so helping to keep blood glucose levels in check.

Additionally, improving muscle strength helps the muscles to store more glucose, therefore improving the body’s ability to regulate blood glucose levels.

Physical exercise will also help you look after your blood pressure, help to improve cholesterol, give you more energy, help you sleep better, and helps your joints and flexibility.

Joining Gymophobics ladies only gym is the perfect way to easily include exercise into your lifestyle as our workout takes only 30 minutes!

Plus we have also introduced the FRESHWELL LOW CARB LIFESTYLE into our members nutritional support package which was created by two GP’s to help manage the increasing rates of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes within their practice population in Essex. It doesn’t rely on counting calories or carbohydrates, it instead uses a traffic light system as a guide as to what type of foods you can eat with a low carb lifestyle.

Our team of Instructors have been specially trained to understand and help members manage and relieve symptoms associated with Diabetes. Combining this support with a personalised exercise and nutritional programme for each member, we have been able to help lots of ladies to put their Diabetes into remission, and to minimise their chances of getting Diabetes.

Interested? Why not come and see for yourself – we promise you a warm and friendly welcome with no judgement just great advice and support .

To find out more just drop us a message to book a FREE, no obligation guest visit.

Love Sara and the Team 💙💙

Ladies we’re sad to say that the temperatures have definitely dropped, and it’s at this time of year that we crave comfort foods.

This is a natural reaction as feeling cold triggers a self-preservation mode that sends our bodies a message to heat up fast. And that message often translates to being a craving for carbohydrate-rich foods - the sugars and starches that provide the instant "heat" boost your body is longing for.

Plus, as we’re spending longer indoors with more hours of darkness, it’s very tempting to indulge ourselves with foods that are carbohydrate and sugar rich.

This is because these types of foods release glucose straight to our brain which gives us an instant feeling of happiness when we are feeling cold, sad, tired or bored.

BUT WE HAVE THE ANSWER - instead of giving into those cravings that will just pile on the pounds, pull on your winter coat and come down to Gymophobics for a mood busting 30 minute workout that will warm you up, put a smile on your face, and keep you glowing for all the right reasons.

Plus couple your workouts with cutting out those unhealthy carb cravings by following our Freshwell Low Carb Lifestyle nutritional support package based upon eating fresh, unprocessed foods and low carbs. Many of our members who have adopted this low carb lifestyle are already seeing amazing health benefits and weight loss.

So why not come out of hibernation to a warm welcome at Gymophobics this Autumn/Winter?

Get in touch with us today to book your for FREE NO OBLIGATION GUEST VISIT by dropping us a message and let’s beat those Autumn/Winter blues together.

Love Sara and the team xx 💗

It’s Stress Awareness Week, the perfect time to highlight the importance of prioritising self-care and personal wellbeing, and to discover effective and healthy ways to manage stress.

Exercise has been shown to be a powerful tool in reducing anxiety and stress levels, particularly in women.

In fact, research has found that when we engage in regular physical activity we experience significantly less anxiety and depression compared to those who are more sedentary.

So why not use regular exercise as one of your coping tools for the stresses of life?

By joining our ladies only health and wellness community, just 30 minutes exercising on our circuit will help to increase the levels of your “feel good hormones”, such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, making you feel less stressed, happier, more relaxed and improving your overall sense of well-being.

And, physical activity can also help to improve sleep quality, self-esteem, and provide a distraction from negative thoughts.

Plus you’ll find us a very friendly group (members and Instructors) and we love a good chat and laugh with each other whilst using our gym, which is also so important to positive mental wellbeing.

That’s the mind altering power of exercise! 😀🙌

To find out more about our ladies only gym drop us a message and start your journey to better emotional and physical health with Gymophobics.

Love Sara and the Team x💗
