June 2015 I was sitting on my sofa on a Saturday afternoon feeling
lethargic and I knew I had to make some changes. I came across Mark by
looking through the internet for a trainer in Warsash. I had never had a
personal trainer before, and, in the past had joined various gyms and
managed a few sessions each time I joined. I was therefore rather
reluctant to engage a personal trainer but thought I would give it a go.
Mark took all my measurements and our sessions started. All I can say is
that for the first three weeks I think I spent more time walking round
the car park then actually doing any real activity. Gradually however my
fitness levels improved and my muscles stopped aching.
Things were going great and I continued seeing Mark twice a week. Then
in February 2016 he talked to me about the MyZone system and encouraged
me to get a belt. I really did not take too much notice of the App. All I
know is that Mark was always happy if I hit 200 MEP’s per session. I
used to get the e-mails coming through to me and just deleted them.
Then in June 2016 I had a setback when I was told I would need to have a
major operation. Mark was brilliant and helped me build up my fitness
levels in preparation, which I now know really helped me to recover
after my op in September 2016. I could not exercise for 6 weeks but by
then I realised that if I could keep my MEP’s going I could work towards
being a Gold member having achieved the Silver status.
Wednesday May 17th I hit my MEP’s for the month of May and that meant I
was now a Gold member. I was training that day with Mark and as I broke
through the MEP’s for the month, Mark put on Spandau Ballet playing Gold
(my request) to say I felt like I had just run my own personal marathon
would be an understatement.
Anybody who knows me will tell you, I am not a natural when it comes to
exercise. I have battled with weight all my life, and whilst I am very
good at starting things with all the best intentions in the world I
rarely see anything through. So all I can say is a Big thank you to Mark
for helping me regain my fitness levels and continuing to work with me.
I am now determined to get to the next level.
