Success story with stabilisfitness.co.uk A year ago when I attended my first Stabilis boot camp I didnt anticipate what huge changes were ahead for me. I was unfit, overweight, lacked confidence and was a little bit unhappy. From the outset Andy set about welcoming me to the group and ensured I was working to the best of my ability. It wasnt long before a group of us decided to enter a 12k obstacle run. That run was another turning point for me. I cried about 500m in to the event as I was frustrated and didnt think I could do it. Andy didn’t leave my side for the whole distance and showed enormous patience in the face of my frustration, telling me I could do it and encouraging me to keep going when I wanted to stop. Since then I have run a 10k event, which Andy helped a group of us train for with running sessions at 5:45am - thats dedication!, completed another mud run and have signed up for the Colchester half marathon. As I went to my first boot camp a year ago, I would never have thought those things possible. The other big changes are that through training with Andy I have lost 2 stone in weight and dropped 3 dress sizes. It must be the training as little else has changed; I still enjoy a glass of wine and eat what I want but have taken on board the nutritional advice Andy gave and have adapted in many areas. Like a lot of people I have a busy life, Im a single Mum working full time and studying part time but I choose to prioritise my health so I make the time to train, even if it means a 6am 1:1 personal training with Andy at the Gym. I have also found my confidence again, am back to being happy and feel I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I used to approach exercise as something I couldnt do and the words I cant do that used to come out of my mouth frequently when shown exercises, now its always I can do that and what event are we doing next. Im so pleased I stepped outside my comfort zone a year ago and Im excited to see what the coming year of training with Andy brings.
