What motivated you to join Body Evolution? If you want, also share any challenges or frustrations you facing before joining.
I wanted to join an all women's gym and learn about and do exercises based around women's bodies. I was in the beginnings of peri-menopause and wanted a more tailored programme to support the many symptoms of this. At my last gym my programme very rarely changed and I knew I wasn't improving my strength but just kept going anyway. I was doing the same programme day in and day out.
What made you choose Body Evolution over other fitness options?
I feel more comfortable training with just women, and had been to an all women's gym before. The previous gym I was going to closed down so I was on the hunt for another one. Finding BE was so good. Small classes, all women, tailored training, great chats, so much more than just a regular gym. BE is all of these things and more.
What specific goals did you set when you started your journey here, and how have they evolved?
I wanted to become fitter and stronger and tone up.
How has your transformation improved your confidence, health, or lifestyle outside of the gym?
Being a part of the 'BE' team has improved my overall lifestyle, health, and confidence in so many ways. My peri-menopause symptoms have lessened. It has helped with my anxiety hugely. Being fitter and stronger feels good. Going to BE has become just 'something that I do', rather than 'something that I have to do'.
What advice would you give to someone considering joining Body Evolution?
It's a game changer. The sessions are varied and supported by an experienced coach every time. Getting fitter and stronger makes everything in your life that little bit better. The small classes are great and being with other women in a small group setting has been a highlight. The friendships you build and the laughter you have all make for this being a 'gym with a point of difference'. You will not regret joining BE.
