This win is about a client who has been working with me for around 10 weeks now, and I genuinely couldn't be more proud of how far she has come.
When we first started, she was only comfortable training in the women’s-only section. The main gym just felt like too much — she was nervous, felt like everyone was watching her and didn't feel confident enough to venture out.
So that's where we started.
We trained in the women’s-only section, figured out what exercises she loved, what she felt comfortable with and what we needed to include in her training to get her the results she wanted.
Around 4–5 weeks ago, we took our first step onto the quieter upstairs gym floor. We started by doing a couple of exercises up there before going back into the women’s-only section for the rest of the session.
We kept building on that, at her pace, until around 2–3 weeks ago when we were doing full sessions upstairs!
And this weekend, we took another huge step and headed downstairs into the main gym area.
There was absolutely no pressure. She knew she could go back upstairs or into the women’s-only section at any point, but she was ready to give it a go.
She completed her full PT session downstairs, tried different plate-loaded machines, used free weights and spent the whole session in an area of the gym that at the beginning of her journey with me felt completely overwhelming.
To say I'm proud is an understatement.
Watching her slowly overcome her gym anxiety and become more confident in herself and her ability to train in different areas of the gym is honestly incredible.
I can't wait to see her keep growing in confidence, trying new things and enjoying being able to train wherever she wants in the gym.
THIS is why I absolutely love what I do, these wins and these moments are the best.
