How long have you been at Storm Force Fitness?
I started at Storm Force Fitness in 2020, and honestly, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Which classes do you do?
I aim to do three strength classes a week and two cardio sessions. That balance has really
helped me build strength while also improving my endurance.
What was your biggest frustration before joining and how did it affect the way you lived?
Before joining, I was already on my weight loss journey. As the weight started to come off, I realised I had a lot more energy and needed somewhere to put it. I’ve always loved sports
since I was young, but for a long time I had lost that part of myself. Joining Storm Force felt like a chance to reconnect with something I always enjoyed.
What was your biggest fear about starting a fitness program?
My biggest fear was that gyms like this were only for top athletes and extremely fit people. I thought I wouldn’t belong. Looking back now, I realise that couldn’t be further from the truth.
How would you describe how you felt mentally and physically before joining?
Physically I was in a really bad place. I was completely out of shape and probably couldn’t run 200 metres without stopping. Mentally I wasn’t in a good place either. When you feel physically weak, it affects your confidence and your mindset. Everything feels harder.
How has it changed your day-to-day life?
The change has been massive. Today I can lift, I can run, and I feel strong. But more importantly, I can be active with my daughter and my family. Being able to do things with them, without feeling exhausted or limited, means everything to me.
What have you achieved in terms of cold, hard numbers?
My first InBody test showed I weighed 119.6kg, with 41.6kg skeletal muscle mass and 38.2% body fat.
My most recent test shows 99.9kg, 41.1kg skeletal muscle mass, and 27.5% body fat.
Seeing those numbers change has been incredibly motivating and shows how far I’ve come.
What goal are you most proud of / what have you done that you would never have dreamed of before getting in shape?
Taking part in competitions like Strongman and Tornado, participating in a marathon relay, and hopefully DEKA in the future. A few years ago, I never would have imagined myself competing in anything like that.
Anything else you want to add?
Jon is an incredible coach. If you give your time, effort, and dedication, you will improve — that’s a fact. But what really makes Storm Force special is the community.
Since joining, I’ve made some of the best friends of my life here. There are so many amazing people who genuinely support each other and want to see everyone become better.
