✨Meet Kathryn from Gymophobics Hatfield✨

After feeling run down and slowly losing her strength and energy, Kathryn decided it was time to make a change. Just a few months later, she was already feeling more like herself again☺️
Here's what Kathryn had to say about her journey with Gymophobics:

“I came to the gym after slowly becoming very deconditioned over a period of 18 months and I was beginning to feel quite unwell. After only a few months I started to feel more my old self with my previous levels of energy and strength.

I never thought going to the gym would become my favourite part of the day, but the friendly and welcoming atmosphere is a great asset. The staff know everyone well, are always so positive and regularly update our programmes."

Thank you, Kathryn, for sharing your story with us. We're so proud to be part of your journey and can't wait to see what you achieve next 💕

"I'M TOO OLD TO START NOW" ... 👵
It's probably one of the biggest excuses we tell ourselves with a lot of new things: a new language, playing an instrument and even exercise.

✨So we looked at the actual research. Here's what 3 major studies found:

A 2019 study of over 315,000 people (Saint-Maurice et al., JAMA Network Open) found that people who only started exercising in their 40s, 50s, and 60s had a 35% lower risk of early death, almost identical to people who'd been active their whole lives.

A 2023 study of over 22,000 people aged 80+ (Yan et al., Preventive Medicine) found that people who went from sedentary to active, even in their 80s and even with existing health conditions, still lived longer than those who stayed sedentary. Lead researcher Prof. Lijing Yan put it simply: "It's never too late to start. The key is to get active."

A 2025 review of 85 studies covering 7 million people (Yu et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine) found that people who switched from inactive to active were 22% less likely to die from any cause, and those who simply moved more saw a 27% drop in mortality risk.

The takeaway is the same every time: your body doesn't care what age you start. It rewards you either way.🎉

If you've been putting it off because you think it's "too late," it's not. Send us a message if you'd like some friendly advice on where to start. No pressure, no judgement.💕

✨ Meet Jayne from Gymophobics Nantwich ✨

Before Jayne joined Gymophobics, she was experiencing the grief of losing her son, dad and husband in a short period of time. Jayne knew this was the time to look after herself and start a new chapter in her life, and a ladies-only gym seemed appealing.

Two years later, Jayne is still a member and recently completed a charity skydive for Epilepsy Research Institute UK, smashing her fundraising target with the support of the Nantwich Gymophobics community!

Here's what Jayne had to say about her journey:

"Gymophobics was amazing!! From all the staff who kept me motivated and focused, to all the lovely ladies who offered words of encouragement and support. But also overwhelmingly, the generosity of everyone who sponsored me and helped me raise a substantial amount towards my fundraising target.

So ladies, whatever struggles you have, join Gymophobics, give yourself some 'me time': 2 or 3 half-hour sessions per week and you will soon be feeling the benefits, both mentally and physically. I do and you can too!!"

Jayne, you are truly an inspiration to us all here at Gymophobics, and we thank you for sharing this journey with us. We love to see your happiness, confidence and achievements 🩷

✨ Meet Jenny from Gymophobics ✨
When Jenny joined Gymophobics, she never imagined she would become someone who genuinely enjoyed going to the gym.
But with the support of our amazing instructors and the welcoming atmosphere, Jenny has built her confidence, improved her fitness and discovered a new love for exercise 💪
Here’s what Jenny had to say about her journey:
"The friendly atmosphere and the expert support from the staff who are just lovely. I feel they are really interested in my journey.
I feel much better in myself and better about myself. I have a sense of achievement. I look forward to coming and walk out glowing.
I never thought I would be someone who found gyms fun. I truly was a Gymophobic!"
Jenny, thank you for sharing your journey with us. We love seeing the confidence, happiness and achievements you have gained through Gymophobics 🩷
