Why should you put your trust in Hitsona Shrewsbury? 🤔
Probably because I understand how a lot of our members feel before they join!
Back in 2017 I joined Hitsona feeling overweight, unhappy and really lacking confidence 🫣
I was fed up with feeling unhealthy and like rubbish most days, but I also knew that after several failed attempts traditional gyms just weren’t for me. The thought of walking into one felt intimidating and uncomfortable, and I know now that so many people feel exactly the same
What surprised me most after joining Hitsona was how quickly I started noticing changes that had nothing to do with the scales. Within a few months I felt fitter, stronger and happier, but I also felt more confident in everyday life. I had more energy, felt mentally better in myself and started enjoying exercise instead of seeing it as some thing I had to do 😃
At the time I was working in the NHS and after taking a new role which was particularly stressful... it wasn't long before I was heading straight towards burnout 🥺 Life felt exhausting for a long time and I can honestly say Hitsona helped me through some really stressful years!
So when the opportunity came up to take over Hitsona Shrewsbury, it felt like one of those chances in life you just have to take. I wanted to create the kind of place that helped me when I needed it most 😃
Not a big intimidating gym full of mirrors and people left to figure things out on their own, but somewhere supportive, welcoming and friendly where normal people could come to improve their health and fitness and increase their confidence without feeling judged.
And that’s still what matters most to me now! 💚
Yes, people lose weight and get fitter, but my favourite thing is seeing people grow in confidence. Watching someone who walked through the door nervous and unsure suddenly realise they’re stronger, more capable in their day to day activities and actually enjoy exercise is such a rewarding thing to be part of ☺️
I want Hitsona Shrewsbury to be the place people think of when they know they want to feel healthier and happier in themselves... because I really know how that feels! 💚
