“I’m now the fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life and I love the way that makes me feel”

At 55, Ann lost 17 kg and went from size 16 to size 10, all in 9 months.

What made you join PP?
Last year I was going to turn 55 and I was finding this quite difficult to get my head around. When I looked in the mirror, my waistline was thickening and my chest was ever expanding. I felt old and matronly and my self confidence was slipping away. I had been away on holiday and I needed my husband to help me zip up my dresses which were quite frankly too tight and too small. I was either going to have to accept that this was now me or do something about it.

“Physically I was in the worst condition I have ever been. I weighed in at 235lbs and felt stuck.”

What made you start personal training at PP?

I have been going to different gyms on and off since my late teens but after a bad knee dislocation in 2014, my fitness levels plummeted and I gradually put on weight. I would start a fitness programme but it wouldn’t last long and I was constantly losing a few pounds only to put it straight back on. I’ve never had any form of personal training as I always felt I knew what I was doing. I had subscriptions to all the health and fitness magazines which I believed was a better and more cost effective alternative. When all of these programmes failed (at least long term), I started to search for something different. I didn’t want a personal trainer who would just regurgitate everything I had already read in Mens Health and tell me to stay away from carbs etc etc.

I wanted to do weights and get strong, I wanted to push sleds, I wanted to throw weighted balls and do HIIT, basically I wanted everything. PP seemed to fit the bill and after meeting with Jerome I wanted to sign up there and then. There was no hard sell. All there was was a confidence in what is offered and a willingness to let people find out if PP is for them. Straight away Jerome gave both myself and my wife (fellow PP member) some nutrition and lifestyle advice and emailed through some really helpful information. This was without any commitment from us and just shows the level of genuine care that Jerome (and all the staff at PP) have. Right from the off, I just knew this was something different.

“I thought the answer to weight loss was cardio, cardio, and more cardio.”

What made you start personal training at PP?

I have suffered from back problems since the age of 11 and had 2 major surgeries at 16 to insert metal rods the entire length of my spine. After wearing a plastic corset for 5 years and then recovering from the operations, I shied away from exercise with the fear of hurting my back – little did I realise, the damage I was causing with being overweight. It got to the point that my doctor recommended I lose a few pounds, so I started my weight loss journey…. Read More

Making a decision to change:

When I stepped on the scales after Christmas 2016 weighing 70kg (the biggest I’d ever been), I made the decision that something needed to be done.

I’ve never had a great relationship with my body. I spent a decade, spanning my teen years and university education, with an eating disorder and had such a low opinion of my body image that it wasn’t until I was 22 that I could look at myself in a full-length mirror. Fast forward two years after finishing uni and I was fully recovered, with a positive outlook on my life. However, body hang-ups, a common theme with many women and I think increasing numbers of men, still festered. A difficult period while living away from home led to a few too many evenings comfort eating and I convinced myself that my long cardio based workouts would be enough to compensate for the extra calories.
