I was just back at work after having being signed off sick from my job for 5 months.  I’d had blood clots on my brain.  I was taking 18 tablets per day, as I am now, and will be for another few weeks at least.

My weight was steadily increasing due to inactivity, boredom and worry.

I felt that I was going downhill fast and I knew I needed to take control…………..

I started going to Your Next Level Fitness, as recommended by a friend, who had been a client of John’s for many years. She said that we should set ourselves 6 weekly targets, which we did. I attended 2 bootcamps per week, reduced my food portions and got weighed every Monday morning.  I decided to try to lose the weight quickly which I have achieved.

I have managed to maintain the new weight. Like most ladies, I have tried all the diets going and some have been successful in the short term but the weight has always gone back on.  I know it’s early days, but this time it’s different I know that the exercise has made the difference and that I must keep it up.

I am now a size 12, from a 16 and, to be honest, I feel  really good about myself.  The mirror is now a friend rather than something to dodge. I still often turn up at Bootcamps with a headache,  but the exercise seems to help and I feel so much better after the session.

It would have been so easy to have made excuses as to why I shouldn’t exercise but I would recommend Your Next Level Fitness to anybody. The trainers really know their stuff. Every session is different……… It’s the best gym I’ve ever been to and I’ve tried them all!
