This is for the brave among you, for those who spent time worrying about getting fitter because it was scary.
It’s easy for us fit pros to forget what it’s like to go to the gym for the first time.
Going to a class for the first time.
Contacting a trainer for the first time.
I hold my hands up to you and admit that before I qualified, for the entirety of my fitness journey, I was too afraid to get help.
I struggled on my own because I wasn’t brave.
It lengthened my journey.
Perhaps thats why I’m so passionate about my job. Why I feel such overwhelming respect to everyone who takes that step to improve their fitness and health.
Before each class I teach I ask if anyone is new – sometimes people put their hands up – sometimes not.
Sometimes the new people hide at the back, scared, nervous, hiding.
I am so with you.
I know you will enjoy it, I know you will be fine, I know that every instructor at the gym will look after you.
But you don’t.
And you do it anyway.
Take this moment to be proud of that.
