✨ I still can't quite believe I'm writing this... ✨
I am incredibly honoured and grateful to have been nominated for a BBC Radio Tees Make a Difference Award. 🏆
What started as a passion for helping people become healthier, happier and more confident has grown into something far bigger than I could ever have imagined. Through Bootcamps, Silent Dance Aerobics, community wellbeing projects, personal training and group fitness sessions, I've had the privilege of meeting some truly amazing people.
This nomination isn't just about me.
It's about every person who turned up to their first class feeling nervous.
Every person who kept going when things got tough.
Every friendship formed through our fitness communities.
Every smile, every achievement, every step forward and every life changed through movement.
To everyone who has attended a class, supported a session, encouraged others to join, or nominated me for this award – thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Knowing that something I love doing has made a positive difference to people's lives is the greatest reward I could ever ask for.
The finalists will be announced this summer, with the awards ceremony taking place in September, and regardless of the outcome, I already feel incredibly blessed and proud to have been nominated.
❤️ Thank you for believing in me.
❤️ Thank you for supporting Chris Hogg Training.
❤️ Thank you for being part of this amazing community.
Here's to continuing to make a difference together.
