I had put on a lot of weight and got stuck in the vicious cycle of comfort eating to make myself feel better, then feeling guilty for it, so eating some more! I was having to buy size 18-20 clothing, so felt really down and didn’t want to go out with my friends as I hated the way I looked. I finally decided that enough was enough and I had to do something about it!
Initially I tried to diet, but found it difficult to stick to anything and just put back on any weight I lost. My work colleagues then bought me a month’s gym pass for my birthday, and although I found I enjoyed exercising, I definitely needed someone to give me a bit of a kick!
The idea of having a Personal Trainer when you’re unfit and overweight is scary! But Jonny was very reassuring and showed me where I’d been going wrong. He gave me a diet plan, showed me what types of exercises I should be doing, and explained that I shouldn’t be scared of using the weights – they’re not just for the men! In our sessions he explained about interval training and that I didn’t have to spend an hour at the gym, I just needed to push myself harder and do the right exercises.
I’ve slowly started to gain more confidence and have now managed to lose over 4 stone! I’ve also just completed my first half marathon thanks to Jonny’s help and advice. I would recommend Jonny to anyone, he’s helped me to achieve my goals and I hope to continue with it!
