As part of the programme we are encouraged to set goals at regular intervals, personally, this helps to keep me focussed on what I am working towards and the feeling of accomplishment when I have reached a goal is fantastic.I have had lots of fantastic results whilst working with onesixeight: fitness, but if I had to choose only one it would be my running. This has included nutritional advice which has enabled me to lose approximately 30kg and mind-set advice which has completely changed my outlook on life. The support and advice I have achieved over the last 2 and a half years has been invaluable. I have been struggling with an injury for quite some time now and the trainers do an amazing job of adapting exercises to enable me to continue to work hard. The 6:30am sessions set me up perfectly for a busy day ahead.I have thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone at onesixeight: fitness, the trainers and other clients are friendly and welcoming which makes it all the more enjoyable. Also, being a primary school teacher I don’t have a lot of spare time during the week, but the flexibility and availability suits my already very busy schedule. I have gained so much from training with onesixeight: fitness, friends, confidence, strength, determination and a much healthier way of life.Initially my reservations were that I wouldn’t be able to do what I was asked to do, but I soon discovered that the trainers would adapt sessions to suit my ability, needs and my goals. I never imagined then that almost 2 and a half years later it would still be a massive part of my life. I decided I needed a bit of help to get back into exercising and a healthier lifestyle so after seeing Becky’s pink car in various places in Loughborough I decided it would be a good idea to enlist her help. “I began training with onesixeight: fitness about 2 and a half years ago, when I was stuck in rut following an injury to my ankle. Thanks to all who donated!” Well done, Kris! My best result is starting running! I never thought I would ever be a runner but with my weight loss (down 4 dress sizes), increased fitness and the support of trainers and class members I have completed the Marathon in May a week early (26.2 miles over the 4 weeks of May) and raised almost £300 for BHF in the process. The trainers tailor the classes so that I have alternatives to exercises that I am unable to do for rehab / physio reasons. The training is supportive, flexible and tailored – especially relevant for me as I have a hip injury for which I am undergoing treatment. The trainers are great and tailor classes to everyones own abilities and there is a supportive, friendly atmosphere. I was also convinced that everyone would be super fit and I would be unable to do any of the exercises. I was convinced that I couldn’t fit exercise into my day – which I now have and it has become part of my routine. Classes also fit with my work day so I can exercise and juggle work / childcare also. I don’t like exercising in large groups, so the smaller, tailored classes appealed to me. “I have been training with Becky for a couple of years now and initially I joined because I wanted to lose weight and get fitter. So, finally, I joined Beckys running session and I ran! I enjoyed every second of it and I can’t wait to run again! Thank you Becky and onesixeight: fitness” I always hated running, having tried it a few times, I found myself out of breath and giving up after few meters…but I always wanted to run. My best result so far is starting to run. Every single trainer pushes us to the limit. My fitness level has gone up, I feel energised, stronger and happier. This was my best decission so far! Exercising is fun for me now – I can’t live without it now. I was thinking it will be too expensive and that I can’t afford it and also that there will be all very fit people so I’ll make myself look ridiculous, but still I wanted to try… I saw the advert about onesixeight: fitness on Facebook so I thought I would give it a go. I had tried the gym and some excercise classes before but found them boring and not working for me. “I had almost zero fitness before I joined onesixeight: fitness a year ago.
