15 YEARS OF FIT 4 FORCE 💙🎉
Fifteen years ago, I took a leap of faith and started Fit 4 Force. Looking back, I could never have imagined where this journey would take me.
Over the last 15 years, I've been incredibly fortunate to experience so many amazing opportunities, including:
✨ Securing a start-up grant from Huddersfield University.
✨ Working alongside the University's business team and having the opportunity to present my business to a real-life Dragon... Theo Paphitis.
✨ Helping hundreds of adults improve their health, confidence and fitness through community sessions.
✨ Preparing candidates for the Army selection process.
✨ Training West Yorkshire Police Explorers.
✨ Delivering junior fitness sessions in schools and within the local community.
✨ Running outdoor bootcamps, indoor bootcamps, themed fitness sessions and boxing bootcamps for people of all ages and abilities.
✨ Raising money for various charities, including the Children's Heart Surgery Fund – a charity very close to my heart... literally!
✨ Taking bootcamps overseas and creating unforgettable memories... you know what they say: what happens in Marbella stays in Marbella! 😉
✨ Sharing countless laughs, Christmas parties, anniversary celebrations and plenty of dancing!
But Fit 4 Force has never just been about exercise.
It's been about people.
I've watched clients meet their partners, get married, welcome babies into the world, achieve goals they never thought possible, and support one another through life's biggest milestones.
We've also stood together through some of life's toughest moments. I've seen members experience heartbreak, loss and grief, and I've experienced it too. Losing my Mum, who was not only my biggest supporter but also a Fit 4 Force member, was one of the hardest chapters of my life. We lived through COVID and kept our sessions going over Zoom. I also welcomed my very own apprentice into the world, who now regularly stands beside me at sessions shouting, "Burpees!"
Those moments reminded me that Fit 4 Force has always been so much more than a fitness business—it's a community.
There have been moments when I've questioned whether to carry on. Running a business isn't always easy, and there have definitely been times when I've wanted to quit.
But because of every single person who has attended a session, recommended me, cheered me on, believed in me and supported Fit 4 Force over the years... we're celebrating 15 years.
While I don't run as many sessions as I once did, I'm incredibly proud that Fit 4 Force is still here, still changing lives and still bringing people together.
Here's to everything we've achieved so far... and to many more years ahead.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you've been with me from the very beginning or you've only recently joined the Fit 4 Force family, you've helped shape the last 15 years, and I'll always be grateful. ❤️
