Last week a member told me that they tripped over a step but didn’t fall; their reflexes, coordination, balance and strength saved them. They reckoned that pre training with us that they would have fallen - and ‘it would have been bad’…
Thus ensured a conversation about all the ways in which being fitter and stronger has made our members lives better.
‘There’s a hill on our driveway that I used to get out of breath on walking up…not anymore’.
‘I helped my granddaughter move house. And I did the heavy lifting!’
‘I can still pick up my son - he’s 30!’ 😂
‘I raced my son … he won right enough …but I RACED him nonetheless’!
‘I’m so much less stressed’
‘I filter my inner rage here’ (I promised I’d include that one 😅
‘I recovered from surgery far quicker than the doctors expected’
‘I have to speak in front of big groups sometimes…it’s weird how much more comfortable I am doing that now…like I feel less vulnerable’
‘I look badass’ 😆🫶🏽💪🏽 (yes you do)
‘I can climb a rope…I mean, I don’t think it will come up in everyday life, but I honestly never thought I’d do that!!’ 🔥
‘I’m a nicer person. Or at least….I want to be…because of you guys’
- that one is me 😉
