What made you start personal training?

When I started at PP my specific goal was to increase my upper-body strength and improve my overall fitness to help me during the obstacle course races (OCRs) that I take part in. I was looking for a gym that didn’t just leave me to get on with things on my own and one that would help me to get the most out of the limited time I had to train…. Read More

Published on // Written by

In her fifties and feeling at an all-time low, Jo realised that she needed some help to turn things around. With some trepidation she decided to give PP a go. In just four months since starting Jo has lost nearly two stone, vastly improved her fitness, gained confidence and discovered a love for lifting that she never imagined possible.

What made you start personal training?

I joined Performance Project in 2017, after I had badly broken my arm just above the elbow. I had gained a lot of weight during this time and after going back to my regular gym I was so worried about hurting my arm again that I just stuck to cardio classes, such as spin, and didn’t see any results.

I joined PP to build strength in my arm in a safe, supportive environment, but mainly to lose weight and regain some self-confidence…. Read More

What made you start personal training with PP?
More like “who made me start personal training”? It was Sam, my husband, and fellow PP-er.

We were due to move to a new area, and after some investigation, Sam found PP. Before we moved, he sent the link by email to my work. I deleted upon receipt. I thought “Super, another gym membership that we won’t use”. I didn’t want to pay for another membership that wouldn’t be used and constantly feel guilty for not going. … Read More

What made you join PP?

I think I had reached that stage where I was tired of putting in a lot of time in the gym and not seeing results. Don’t get me wrong, my cardio fitness was OK but I couldn’t get my head around why I wasn’t seeing any changes in my appearance, weight loss, or strength. I thought I knew everything when it came to working out because I love sports, I have always played sports, I work in sport etc, so I just assumed I could teach myself and train myself. … Read More

“I’ve lost 23lbs, dropped 3 sizes in clothes and I’m feeling happier”

Helen joined Performance Project to get healthier and fitter for her family. She’s certainly done that.

What made you join PP?

I’ve always struggled with my weight and insecurity and have made several attempts to lose weight with Weight Watchers, Slimming world, and Personal Training.

I would like to think that I’ve reached a sensible age where I know my strengths and weaknesses and can hold up my hands and say – “Ok, I need some help” – and then dig deep, and get on with it.

A couple of friends had shared a few of Performance Project’s posts, and at first, I didn’t feel very motivated or interested, so it took a little while before I really looked into PP and saw the 30 Day Trial that they offer.  I said to my partner that I’d like to give it a try, to have somebody kicking my bum and to finally get lean. Hopefully leading to a healthier and happier person, partner and mum…. Read More

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.
