My name is Catherine. I’m a wife, mum of 2 young children and a teacher.

I first walked through the doors of FF in June 2013.  I was terrified.

I had taken advantage of an offer for 4 weeks unlimited training. I LOVED it!! I loved the training, the banter, the people and then my 4 weeks were over. I decided not to stay on as a full member, I made lots of excuses as to why, “can’t afford it,” “kids still need me at home,” “not enough time,” etc etc.

I stupidly thought I could do it on my own….

I was soon back. I bungeed back and forth to FF over the next 2 years, and in that time I tried a number of other gyms. But I never truly felt at home, or like I was making progress.

Then, in May 2014, I lost my dad very suddenly. I slipped back into old and bad habits, stopped exercising and started to regain the weight I’d lost. I knew where I needed to be, where I would get the support I needed to get back on track.  

After a quick chat with Ryan, I was back in the studio, surrounded by positive, like minded people who provide genuine support, both for you to reach your physical goals, and emotionally, too.

Success Story - Catherine Harrison

Since being at FF I have done things I never dreamed I would do. I have stepped so far out of my comfort zone I can no longer see it. Anyone who knows me personally would know that 5 years ago I barely walked anywhere, never mind ran. I didn’t own any trainers, I now practically live in gym gear on my days off work! I have taken part in four 10K obstacle races, swam a mile of Windermere, done several running events and I’m planning on many more.

I love training at FF, not just for the results I get, which have been many. I have lost 3 dress sizes, I eat so much better, and I am fitter and stronger. I love it there for the people I get to speak to everyday.

They are amazing. Supportive, helpful, informative and inspiring. We are all on the same path together, and if one of us falls, there is always a hand to help you back up onto your feet. I would recommend anyone to come down, spend some time in the studio and see if it’s for you. If my dad’s death taught me anything, it’s that life is too short to not be doing what makes you happy.

The coaches are a massive part of the FF family and they are absolutely brilliant. From the education we get daily, the 24/7 support we get for our nutrition goals and the technical guidance, support and encouragement we get each session to push our boundaries, push our limits and crack those goals is second to none.

We call ourselves a family, because we genuinely are. I can’t remember the last time I went into the gym and didn’t know every single person there by name. Everyone cares about the person, not just the program at FF, and as a big bonus, we get to have fun, laugh and improve ourselves at the same time.

This is the best investment I have ever made in myself. Long may it continue.
