Meet Breda
Once a complete newbie to weights, now very much moving into that intermediate stage of training.
But the weights is only part of it.
She wants to know why she's doing an exercise.
She wants to understand how it benefits her, how she can improve it and what she needs to do to get stronger.
She is getting stronger, moving well, building confidence and, most importantly, doing it all without being plagued by injuries.
And she's not happy enough to just get the session done, it's more than just a "tick box" exercise.
She wants to do better.
This is exactly why I love strength training, especially as we get older.
It's not about lifting weights because you feel like you should.
It's about getting stronger because you want to stay strong, capable and independent for as long as possible.
And watching someone who had never touched weights walk into the gym and become this strong is exactly why I love the job.
