She will kill me for this…
But… Meet Rachel ✨
Rachel has lost 10 stone. But quite honestly, we are beyond that. Weight loss is a thing of the past for Rachel.
This story goes way deeper.
Having always struggled with her weight, Rachel’s experience of life was different to many people. The things we take for granted like travel or social outings were a very different for her at a larger size.
She wasn’t aiming to lose a bit of weight, she was aiming to save her life and transform every aspect of it in the process.
Exercise, relationship with food, her environment the whole lot. It was going to require years of hard decisions, grit, determination and most likely fall outs and tears.
Rachel put her faith in me a few years ago as a young, more inexperienced coach and she asked for help. I don’t think either of us truly knew we would reach this point today.
She’s lost 10 stone, which sounds amazing, but it’s the byproduct of that that is truly life changing.
Before, she had to use an extender belt on a plane so wouldn’t travel, now…
She’s hiked the Great Wall of China, she’s trekking Machu Picchu next week and she’s doing her first Hyrox this year!
She squats with 100kg on her back!! She does pull ups!! Not to mention the various runs and obstacle courses she throws herself into.
It’s fu***ng sensational.
The truth is. People think that as her coach, I inspired her to change.
The reality is, Rachel has inspired me throughout my career over the years and her progress has lit the fire in my belly to do the same for more people.
So you may see this post as a coaching progress photo, but I see it more as a thank you for the inspiration Rachel provides me and others around her every day.
So you’ll have to forgive the unforgiving approach I often have to excuses. It’s just, when you’re surrounded by inspirational, go getting women like Rachel every day, you understand what is truly possible for women like her.
Here’s to the next chapter 👊🏼
And when she sees this, I’ll likely get a clipped ear, but hopefully she will know what a true inspiration her journey is!
A special mention to her husband, who’s made his own amazing change!
