Janine Graham – Success Story
Here Is Janine's Inspiring Story....
I first joined Fitness Formation on the ‘Six Week Transformation Challenge’. I am a mother of two teenagers and work full time at a secondary school. Needless to say life is stressful! On top of that my self-esteem was at an all time low. I had known for sometime that I needed to make some changes and start making time for me.
After a particularly difficult week at work I bumped into a friend, we had a chat and I mentioned how good she was looking. She told me she had joined Fitness Formation and went on to tell me how brilliant it was and how much she enjoyed it. That evening she sent me the link to sign up for the challenge. The next day I rung and spoke to Heather, we chatted like old friends and I signed up there and then.
Before my first session I felt nervous and self conscious, however as soon as I walked into the studio I was met with warmth and friendship. Heather, Ryan and Daniel made me feel at ease. The other members helped me feel like I had always been part of the group. Ryan and Daniel greeted every person who walked through the door by their first name, this along with the unique friendly atmosphere, made me feel relaxed.
Once the session started I realised how unfit I had become. I was unable to do a single burpee and could barely do a sit up. Ryan helped me by showing me how to do the exercises properly and encouraged me to push myself without making me feel like I was in competition with anyone else. I left that first session feeling exhausted but smiling from ear to ear and feeling confident and proud of what I had achieved. I set a goal to be able to do one burpee next time, which doesn’t sound much but for me it was a massive challenge.
I had been a member of a local gyms on and off for the past 10 years but never saw great results. I would pay the membership then get bored doing the same thing week in week out, let the membership lapse then sign up again six months later only to go through the same process again.
Fitness Formation is nothing like any other gym I have been a member of. Ryan, Daniel, Ben and Heather really get to know you and what you want to get out of FF. They know all the members personally and ensure that each and every person gets the best out of every session. I can honestly say that every session I attend I have been pushed beyond my comfort zone and have left knowing I have worked as hard as I could. I used the six weeks to attend as many sessions as possible and have enjoyed them all. Every session has been different and I have got to know lots of great people.
It is obvious that Ryan, Daniel and Ben are passionate about what they do and are always available to offer advice and guidance. They are incredibly knowledgeable and professional whilst remaining friendly and approachable. The other members have encouraged me to try new things and shown patience and friendship since day one with encouragement and advice.
The atmosphere at FF is like a huge family, the banter is unique. Sometimes I feel like my abs hurt from laughing as much as from the exercise!
I have already achieved so much in the six weeks since joining FF. (I managed 40 burpees recently). I am feeling fitter and more toned and with the advice I have received on nutrition, I am eating healthier and my clothes are feeling less tight. However, the biggest transformation has been in my confidence. I believe in myself and have set myself goals that I know I will achieve. I feel able to try new things without fear of failure.
To anyone thinking of joining my advice would be, stop thinking, just do it. You will be guaranteed a warm welcome, expert coaching and you will meet some truly amazing people.
