WHOOP… THE NEXT PHASE IS BOOKED! 🎉

Well, here we go… the next part of my thyroid cancer journey is officially happening.

📅 Sunday 27th & Monday 28th September
I’ll be heading in as a day patient for my two Thyrogen injections.

These injections basically give my body a big dose of TSH stimulation, preparing any remaining thyroid tissue/cancer cells to absorb the radioactive iodine.

📅 Wednesday 30th September
It’s RAI DAY — radioactive iodine treatment.

The radioactive iodine is swallowed as a capsule/drink and is designed to seek out and destroy any remaining thyroid tissue, including thyroid cancer cells. (nhs.uk⁠)

Afterwards comes the slightly strange bit…

I’ll be radioactive for a few days, so I’ll have to keep my distance from people, follow strict hygiene precautions and limit close contact while my radiation levels drop. How long I need to do this will be worked out by the hospital team and depends on my treatment and circumstances. (Cancer Research UK⁠)

And recovery?

I’m expecting a few days of taking it easy rather than bouncing straight back into full throttle.

Possible short-term effects include tiredness, nausea, changes in taste, dry mouth or some tenderness/swelling around the neck.

And the tiredness may hang around longer than the actual treatment — so this time I’m going to have to listen to my body rather than pretend I’m invincible! 😂

There will also be follow-up blood tests/scans because RAI doesn’t give you an instant “all clear”. It works over time and the team monitors the response afterwards.

💪 THE BARNS FITNESS STUDIOS

Because I’m going to need a proper recovery period, the class programme will have some changes around the end of September/early October.

I’ll keep everyone updated with exactly which sessions are affected, cover arrangements and when I’m ready to get back to normal.

I’m incredibly lucky to have such an amazing instructor team who will keep The Barns moving while I concentrate on getting through this next bit.

Surgery ✔️
Diagnosis ✔️
Blood tests ✔️
Scans ✔️
Thyroxine ✔️
And now…

RAI — LET’S GET THIS DONE. 💪🦋

One more step closer to putting this bloody cancer chapter behind me. ❤️

Then it’s recovery mode for up to 2 weeks, with some changes to the class programme while I follow the hospital’s guidance and get myself back on track.

I’ve got my Zoom call with the consultant Monday afternoon, then I’ll speak to my PT clients this week and make plans with them.

So here we go peeps

MEET YOUR TEAM

Meet Ella Farmer 💕

FOREVER FIT | Wednesdays 10.30am

Ella has been part of The Barns Fitness Studios family for over 7 years, building a fantastic following.

Her fitness journey at The Barns actually started back in February 2019. Her very first class was Forever Fit on a Friday morning — after heavy snow the night before, only one person turned up… the lovely Teresa Taylor! ❤️

Since then, Ella has gone from strength to strength. Alongside her work and family life, she continues to bring her energy, knowledge and infectious personality to her classes. During Covid, Ella also built a hugely successful online following, keeping people moving and motivated when they couldn’t get into the studio.

✨ Friendly. Fun. Experienced. And completely committed to helping people feel fitter, stronger and happier.

Come and join Ella every Wednesday at 10.30am for Forever Fit — you’ll be very welcome! 💪❤️

❤️ Keeping You Up To Date at The Barns ❤️

There’s a few little changes happening behind the scenes as we head into the new programme, so I thought I’d keep you all in the loop!

First of all, Emily has moved on from Monday evenings. Due to family commitments, she’s finding it increasingly difficult to keep the Monday class going. We completely understand that family comes first, and we’d like to say a massive thank you to Emily for everything she has given to The Barns over the years. She’s been a huge part of our team and will definitely be missed! ❤️

💪 Monday nights are now Sam’s!

We’re delighted that Sam is taking over the Monday evening sessions.

Sam is highly qualified, hugely knowledgeable and has a real passion for strength & conditioning. She’s approachable, encouraging and absolutely loves helping people get stronger, fitter and more confident.

I know you’re going to love her! 💪🔥

⏰ And then there’s our 6am dream team…

Dani & Sam — The Smug Club Dream Team! 😍

Taking you through those early-morning sessions every Tuesday, Thursday & Friday at 6am.

Strength, conditioning, hard work, laughs and that smug feeling when you’ve finished before most people have even found their alarm clock! 😂💪

🥊 And… Laura is BACK!

We’re so excited to have Laura back on the daytime timetable!

Laura will be taking Friday Combat at 9.45am — and if you know Laura, you’ll know exactly what that means…

🔥 Energy
🥊 Boxing
💪 Hard work
😂 Plenty of fun
❤️ And a whole lot of encouragement

Laura is back… and she means business! BOOM! 💥

So many exciting things happening at The Barns Fitness Studios.

Different instructors, different personalities, different styles — but one team, one community and one aim… helping YOU become fitter, stronger and healthier.

Bring on the new programme! ❤️💪

❤️ FIT FOR THE FUTURE ❤️

Cancer changes your perspective on life.

Earlier this year, as the owner of The Barns Fitness Studios, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Suddenly there were operations, appointments, results, medication changes and plenty of moments where I felt tired, overwhelmed and just a little bit lost.

But something became very clear to me…

Fitness is about so much more than fitness.

It’s about your physical health, of course — but it’s also about your mental wellbeing, confidence, energy, resilience and the people around you.

And I honestly believe group training is one of the best things you can give yourself. ❤️

Walking into a room full of people who know your name.
Having a laugh.
Working hard together.
Encouraging each other.
Having someone notice when you’re not quite yourself.
Leaving feeling stronger than when you walked in.

That’s what makes The Barns so special.

I’m incredibly lucky to have an amazing instructor team around me — everyone stepping up, helping out, supporting each other and keeping the place moving, especially when I’ve needed them.

And then there are our amazing members and PT clients, that although are ‘clients’ I’m fortunate to call my friends.

The support, kindness, messages, encouragement and sheer amount of love I’ve received has meant more than I can put into words. ❤️

The Barns has always been so much more than a studio, It’s a community fitness hub.

A place where people come to get fitter, stronger and healthier — but also somewhere to make friends, have a laugh, improve their mental wellbeing and simply feel part of something.

My cancer journey has reminded me that we shouldn’t wait until something happens to start looking after ourselves.

We need to build strong bodies, strong minds and strong communities for the future.

💪 Strength
❤️ Heart health
🧠 Mental wellbeing
⚡ Energy
🦴 Mobility & independence
🙌 Confidence
👥 Community

Being fit isn’t about being perfect.

It isn’t about a certain size or number on the scales.

It’s about being FIT FOR LIFE.

Fit enough to enjoy the years ahead.
Strong enough to cope with life’s challenges.
Healthy enough to keep doing the things we love.
And surrounded by people who make the journey better.

So if you’ve been thinking about starting, restarting or simply doing a little more for yourself…

Come and be part of our community.

You don’t have to be fit to start.

You just have to start. ❤️

The Barns Fitness Studios — more than a workout.
A community. A support network. A place to get fit for the future.

💪❤️

Sorry for long post. Blame the wine on a school night. 😂
