Wolverhampton

When I was told I was to be member of the month, you couldn't have found a more suprised member! I have battled with weight and health problems for many years but earlier this year I finally found the willpower to do something about it.

I have always been wary of gyms, never wanted to be 'the odd one out' amongst all the health fanatics and so stayed well away. But then I found Gymophobics and went along for a guest visit and was pleasantly suprised - not just because it was ladies only!

Everyone was friendly and helpful - even other members- and I soon settled into regular half hour sessions as well as converting to a sensible and healthy diet at home. The sessions at the gym were not just good for my health but fun too (especially the 'wobble' board!). My trainer changes my programme on a regular basis to ensure I'm doing the best I can and I come away from each session feeling a bit better without feeling 'overdone'! I am also making new friends which is an added bonus.

There are still days when I waiver and wonder why I am doing this, but then I remember what I have already achieved with Gymophobics help and I'm spurred on again! I may have lost some weight on my own but the help of everyone at the gym has given me the added impetus I needed - so thanks to everyone at Wolverhampton!

I know it's early days but I have lost just short of a stone in weight an 22 inches overall in the first 20 visits! Fantastic!! It is really motivating me to keep going to my target weight!!!
