Hello 👋🏻
With this being a new page for my PT business, I thought I’d take a chance to introduce myself to all my new clients/ followers ☺️
My name is Cara, I’m 29 and I live in Porthmadog with my son- he’s almost 9 🥲. I started working in the hospitality industry at the age of 14.
As a teenager I had a very high BMI, I reached my heaviest - 14st8lbs after giving birth to my son in 2016.
Soon after my 21st birthday I started loosing weight due to stress and under-eating. I decided to join the gym because I felt very self conscious about the loose skin that the rapid weight loss left me with. - but to be totally honest with you, looking back now , it’s clear that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing 🫢
Fast forward a couple years….soon after the Covid lockdown was lifted, I took an interest in strength training, and although it took me a while- once I felt confident in what I was doing and started seeing the results, and that mind to muscle connection improving- I absolutely fell in love with the gym. My older brother also had an interest in strength training, so we started training together 🏋🏼♀️
In 2023 we sadly lost my older brother Carl suddenly 🥺, I was diagnosed with PTSD after the trauma surrounding his death and was unable to even think about going back to work in the hospitality industry.
With my mental health deteriorating- the only place I could switch off and feel normal for a moment was at the gym- where we used to train together. And I can honestly say, if it wasn’t for the gym and my strength training over the last 2 years I don’t know where I’d of ended up! 🙌🏻
Seeing how my training had a massive effect on my mental health- my love for the gym turned into an obsession, and that’s when i realised- THIS IS IT!, This is what I want to do!…. I want to help other people fall in love with the gym. It’s honestly the best investment anyone could ever do, and not only for physical improvement but also for mental health improvement. 🫶🏻
Soon after I lost my brother I decided to start studying, and I kept myself busy by educating myself more within the health and fitness industry- by now, I’m a fully certified/insured Personal Trainer, I’ve decided to go self employed and I’m loving every second of my new venture. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing all my clients grow in confidence and putting their all into their sessions 🫶🏻☺️
