Goodbyes… this is definitely the part of my job I like the least 💔
This week I said goodbye to my lovely client Sienna, who I’ve had the privilege of working with for the past 3 years, and what a journey it has been.
When I first met Sienna, she struggled to concentrate for long periods, found balance and coordination difficult, lacked confidence in herself and her abilities, and couldn’t manage a full 45-minute session. Although she enjoyed exercise, movement and PE lessons could often feel overwhelming, especially in larger group environments where distractions made it difficult to focus and engage.
After initially working together in a school setting, Sienna then started attending sessions at the gym, and that’s where the real growth began. Not just physically, but emotionally too.
Over the past 3 years, I’ve watched her confidence grow, her coordination improve, her strength increase and, most importantly, her belief in herself develop. The young girl who once doubted whether she could do things now walks confidently into the gym each week and completes full 45-minute sessions with determination.
She trap bar deadlifts, barbell bench presses, completes exercises like bird dogs and deadbugs with ease (which definitely wasn’t possible at the start!) and throws herself into challenges with resilience and confidence.
Sienna’s journey is proof that with the right environment, support and encouragement, young people with SEND can absolutely thrive. Their needs do not limit their potential.
What makes this even more special is that Sienna is now moving on to attend a small group PT session with her mum at her mum’s gym, something that would have felt unimaginable 3 years ago.
All the credit goes to Sienna herself. She has shown up week after week, listened, persevered and continued pushing herself outside of her comfort zone.
I’ll definitely miss our reaction button play-offs… after 3 years I was almost beating you — almost! 😂
Sienna, I am so proud of you and everything you’ve achieved. Remember, our door at Inclusion Fitness is always open to you 💚
STRONG. CONFIDENT. UNSTOPPABLE.
