Versatile Fitness by Lorna Mackenzie

19/08/2025

My last post was a promise to try and post more which shortly after ended up in me taking a break from the business and it was the best decision I made.

When I started Versatile Fitness 8 years ago I could never have imagined how successful it would become. Working from 5am to 10pm most days quickly became a thing even at weekends.

Whilst I was and still am grateful for this growth it was also tough going on my family and also on myself. Giving your heart and soul to something when you still have a job and a family to be there for is not easy.

I always promised myself that if at any point I felt I wasn’t giving the service I took so much pride in providing then I would need to step away because it would not be fair on my clients.

Towards the end of 2024 I could feel this happening and I wasn’t prepared to let it. I couldn’t continue trying to give the energy needed to each client that walked through my door when I didnt have it there to give in the first place. It was time to step back refocus for a while and then reevaluate.

When I feel the time is right I will be relaunching so keep an eye out, I look forward to seeing you on the other side 😉

In the meantime peace and respect to all of you ✌️

I would like to wish all my clients and followers a Happy New Year. I’m humbled and grateful for yet another successful year, I never thought Versatile Fitness would still be thriving almost 8 years down the line 🥰🤍
I know I don’t post very much these days like I used to but I like to stay present during sessions and to spend my time planning etc rather than creating posts, however I aim to post a bit more going into 2025 🤞😅
Have a good one all 🎉🥂

As we reach the end of another year I would like to say I am forever thankful to my dedicated and loyal clients 💕

I haven’t posted anything on my page at all this year which wasn’t intentional, work life has just been very busy plus I haven’t had any capacity to take on new clients and therefore haven’t been advertising.

I have still been working hard and helping my clients through their goals and that’s what counts 💪 very much looking forward to working with you all in 2024 and we may even be seeing the return of my well loved ‘Whole Body Blast’ class so watch this space 😉

As we come to the end of another year, I’d like to thank all my clients for their continued support. I really do love working with every single one of you. I have also made some friends for life which is awesome ❤️

It’s been the toughest year of my life personally, I look back and wonder how I kept going but I did and I did it for all of you. Thank you for being by my side.

2023 will see me working reduced hours which my clients are aware of, it’s only short term but necessary for the services I provide to continue (at the standards I pride myself in) alongside my job, my family and being a full time carer for my son.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all 🥂🎉

I just can’t believe it has been 5 years since I won this award, 5 years! Where has that time gone 😅
Highly Commended Fitness Instructor Of The Year 2017, such a proud moment in my life ❤️

I never imagined then how successful my business would become. I have had the pleasure of working with and helping so many amazing people. I have learnt so much as a personal trainer but more importantly about myself.

I feel truly privileged to be walking the path I am and couldn’t have done it without certain people in my life.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible and who have supported me, especially my friends and family, you know who you are. And to all my clients past and present, I wouldn’t be here without you 💜

Also a special thank you to Simon Holden for training me and to Darren Stocks for allowing me to follow my dream whilst keeping my position in his company. I am forever grateful to you all 🙏
