Four years ago today, I unlocked the doors to FBL Daventry as its new owner. 💖
I honestly don’t think I could ever have imagined what it would become.
Yes, we’ve helped hundreds of ladies become fitter, stronger and healthier… but what fills my heart the most is the community we’ve built together. Friendships have been made, confidence has grown, support has been there through life’s ups and downs, and so many women have realised they’re capable of far more than they ever believed. 🥹💕
Despite the 5am alarms every day this week to get ready for coaching, I was still up at 5am this morning… but this time it was to bake. 🇵🇹🥮 It felt like the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary, with homemade Portuguese custard tarts waiting for the ladies after they’d worked hard in their sessions.
We celebrated with a “Higher or Lower” workout… and let’s just say the ladies were pretty good at guessing! 😂 Every time they got it right, I had to do either 5 burpees or 5 walkouts. Across the two sessions I somehow clocked up 170 in total! 😳🤣 Safe to say I was absolutely knackered by the end!
Over the last four years there have been so many memorable moments… dancing around the gym when a good song comes on, celebrating milestones big and small, watching ladies do things they never thought possible, and seeing complete strangers become genuine friends. That’s what makes FBL so special. ❤️
To every single member who’s walked through our doors, to my incredible coaching team, and to everyone who’s supported me over these last four years… thank you. You’ve trusted me, supported this little business, embraced everything we’ve created together and helped make FBL into the amazing community it is today.
Here’s to many more years of early mornings, encouraging one another, celebrating every win, dancing through workouts and proving that fitness can be fun. 💗
My heart is very full today. 🥰
Bela 🥰
