” You can’t expect change, if you change nothing.”

I started working in the fitness industry because I wanted to do something different and wanted out of the standard 9-5. I love that our studio is the first thing people experience for the day or the first thing they do to switch off after work; there’s nothing better than seeing happy people finishing a session. BFT is pushing people to expect more from their trainers and the group fitness environment and I’m loving it.

The best thing about being a trainer is that moment when your client thinks back to when they started, and they realise how far they have come. Permanent lifestyle change can be a slow process and minor wins can be overlooked, but when that lightbulb moment happens and the member thinks “yeah, l do remember that l couldn’t do that, but now l can” is an awesome thing to watch.
