We are so so proud of Helen & her journey with us so far

When Dave asked if he could share my stats alongside with my 'story' for context of results so far, I surprised myself by saying yes, which just shows how far I've come in the last few months.
We moved from north of Manchester in 2000. I later spent 9 yrs travelling up & down the M6 to help to care for my parents.
May 2024 was the start of a 15-month period where I said a final goodbye to both Mum & Dad.
I had 2 partial knee replacements due to arthritis and lost both of our beloved Labradors.
Before having my 2nd knee done, I knew I needed a plan to make the most of my new knees and to also work on getting my head in a better place, so I contacted Dave Hughes from Fit Body Transformation.
Initially I wanted to work on a 1 to 1 basis with Dave as I'm more of a Wallflower rather than a Social Butterfly, and the thought of joining a group PT session filled me with dread.
Dave suggested I come early for our initial sessions to see the end of the 8:15 class, he introduced me to loveliest ladies at 8.15am.
I started with some 1-1 Personal Training with Dave for a couple of Weeks and he finally persuaded me to join them, which is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I used to be a member of a gym many years ago and was lost on my own, not sure what exercise to do or what to eat I was confused. Since joining FBT this has turned fully around now.
I am feeling loads healthier, more mobile, and a lot lighter in my head.
I also enjoyed taking part in the Fit Body Transformation walking challenge in February 2026 and raising funds for the British Heart Foundation.
This also coincided with it being a year since my Dad died, it gave me a real sense of purpose, and I've continued to walk each day. I've gone from hobbling on 2 damaged knees and not being able to exercise since for years to 17k steps last Sunday.
My thanks go to Dave Hughes, Keric Benwell and the 8:15 ladies, you have been so welcoming and supportive, so thank you all and I'm here to stay!
I feel so much more confident with the way I look and feel that I have bought some leggings which I have not worn anything like this since School.
RESULTS
I have dropped 2 dress sizes, lost 1 x stone, reduced Body Fat by 3.4%, BMI down 2.4% with my visceral fat down by 1.
If you are sitting on the fence and not knowing where to turn then just reach out to Dave or Keric at Fit Body Transformation and you will not regret it.
