You are here because you are dedicated to getting fit, feeling healthier and lapping up those resulting serotonins that aid our mental well-being.

Post work out you feel good - as you should do - you’ve worked hard and allowed yourself time to focus on yourself and your health. You look forward to your next session. It’s a good feeling and you can’t have too much of a good thing, surely?

What happens when that everyday workout becomes twice a day; when you start to not care about being late for work so you can have extra time in the gym; when you have to lie to friends and family about where you are going because they have started to become concerned that what was once a healthy hobby has become an unhealthy obsession.

This is EXERCISE ADDICTION - it’s real - I know - as this was me.

We are so used to addiction being attached to bad vices - alcohol, drugs, caffeine etc and I think this is why exercise addiction is rarely talked about and is more often than not brushed under the carpet as exercise is good for you, right? What harm could it do?

The truth is it can harm.

Inappropriately pushing your body to its limits without the correct time for recovery is in itself dangerous - but it is not just the physical element. Without recognition, exercise addiction can impact relationships and work commitments, feed into eating disorders and isolate you.

For myself, the addiction was fuelled as it was the one thing in my life at the time I felt I could control.

It was 2014, and I had had a run of house-related issues which had left me feeling helpless and in legal limbo.

I started going to the gym as I was soon to be married so had the usual urge to trim up so I could look my best. However, I soon found that the gym became my sanctuary - an escape room. And what started as a few gym visits a week became many - till I was regularly going around 9 times a week. Lying to family about where I was and spending any non-gym time googling how to make more of an impact.

It was now an obsession - my number 1 priority over work and over friends.

Alongside this, I started to implement a very restrictive diet - another way I could take control. My Mum would cook me my favourite meal when I would visit and I would refuse to eat it as it wasn’t in line with my new regime.

The picture shown on the left was taken at the peak of my obsession. I had dropped from a size 10 to a size 6. Yet for some reason, even at my leanest ever shape, I still wasn’t content - I wanted more.

Luckily, I had people in my court who were able to hold up a mirror on the situation and let me see where my new obsession was impacting me negatively.

I am grateful to these people.

They helped me rechannel my newfound love of exercise into a healthy outlet - a way to do it right and, even better, help others do it right - by becoming a PT!

It’s ironic how my 2016 ‘after’ picture is now my 2022 ‘before’ picture.

My ‘after’ picture now may not show me to be as lean but in this picture, I am a whole person, well-grounded, strong, healthy and most important of all, happy.

Having gone through it myself - I know where that boundary now lies - please PM me or reach out if you ever need any guidance or advice relating to this.

Exercise addiction should be talked about more…
