I joined Elite in 2023 on their 28-day Kickstart Programme, with the aim to lose weight. I walked through the doors on my first day feeling nervous, a little scared, embarrassed and doubting why I even thought I could manage such a challenge.
I was met by a really friendly trainer and lots of friendly faces, but I remember thinking everyone looked much fitter and healthier than me and I wanted the ground the swallow me up.
At each session the trainers are always just so friendly, professional and motivating, working at a pace which works for me but pushing me to always do more. Outside of the sessions there was always someone available to advise and support if I had any questions. Over the 28-days my confidence grew as did my weight-loss.
Fast forward 15 months, I now train 5-6 times a week, I have lost 40lbs, 55 inches, am physically fit and my mental wellbeing has significantly improved. More importantly, the trainers are my friends and I have made so many friends for life.
Elite is more than just a gym, it is a community of great people who all look out for and motivate each other. The community events such as walks and nights out just add to the many reasons why I bought an annual membership. Elite is honestly one of the best things I have ever done and can’t believe I am still training hard and enjoying it!
