“I was tired of putting in a lot of time in the gym and not seeing results.”

Sarah was feeling tired and pretty low about not getting results despite the work she put in in the gym and doing other sports. She joined PP after a friend recommended it and lost an amazing four stone over two years. She also gained confidence and strength, and now attributes her happy, healthy lifestyle to the help and support she got from PP.

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. A friend of mine started training privately with Sam (PP Senior Coach) and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was as a trainer and just how great the gym was, the environment they have, the members, and all the other coaches. So I just thought, “Well what harm could it do? I’m not making progress on my own, I’ve got nothing to lose” so I messaged Sam and the next thing I know, almost 2 years have gone by and I haven’t missed a session.

How were you feeling before joining?

Tired! I felt tired a lot of the time and a bit low in general about my appearance, I was a happy person to everyone on the outside but I wasn’t happy on the inside. I think I was also very frustrated that I wasn’t progressing, despite going to the gym four times a week and playing hockey and tennis several times a week.

What did you want to achieve?

Initially, I was thought that if I could lose just one stone then I would feel happier. So my goal was pretty simple to start off with, but I just wanted to achieve something and prove to myself I could do it. Turns out that I could do it and now I’m slightly addicted.

What results have you seen?
I have lost around 4 stone so far. I still want to achieve more in terms of weight, but I have also gained confidence in myself, confidence to use the weight section in a gym and know what I’m doing and why. I know what to do when it comes to nutrition and I now know how to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle. The bags of strength are a bonus too. For me, there is nothing better than feeling strong and fit. I have seen more results at PP then I’ve seen throughout my life, made some great friends, learnt a lot about nutrition and health and I am excited about what’s next.

Why would you recommend PP?
Because I can’t say a single negative about the place. It’s truly incredible what PP has done for me, both physically and mentally. This gym is a real game changer.
