For the past three years, I had been off work due to being a full time parent. People may say they love it, but I hated it. It brought me to a deep depression, and caused me to have panic attacks, and anxiety issues.

This was all caused because I no longer had any interactions with adults and my children drove me insane. This caused me to binge eat.

I have been super skinny my whole life, until my second child. I just couldn’t drop the baby weight. I also started to tell my husband ‘I’m going to let myself go’. It got to the point where I didn’t care about myself, or my self worth.

One day my husband pointed out to me a promo at a gym, which he thought I might enjoy. Now, I had never stepped foot into a gym my whole life, so why start now?

It was this negativity that made me think I needed to change this attitude.

My first session at Fitness Formation was nothing like I had imagined. The music was pumping, the coach was loud, and most importantly, the people were inviting.

I finished my 6 week promo, but did I really want to stay at a gym? No.

Yashmin Essa - Success Story

A few months went by, and I joined a basic gym. I did a three month membership, and from that I only went two out of the three months. I only worked out if I felt like it. I didn’t even sweat. I knew what I wanted.

It was to join FF, again.

A friend of mine had joined FF because I had told her about my experience, and now I was jealous that she was living it. She pushed me to rejoin. This was one of the best decisions I ever made. I joined on a six month contract, and absolutely loved the sweat, tears and drama that came with it. Loved the coaches, loved the people, loved the atmosphere, but most importantly, I began to love myself.

I started taking better care of myself. I wanted to keep myself healthy and fit. I started enjoying life, and a life with my kids.

I now have a new perspective on life. I love how FF makes me feel so empowered, and how I am driven to achieve my goals. I may not want to have a six pack like a model, but I can now say I have incredible legs, and lean arms. I’m still working on my belly, but hey, I still love my ice cream.

After my contract finished again, I renewed for another year. I feel that I have invested not just in a gym, but myself and my future.

I am so grateful for the friends I have made, and for the decision I made for joining.
