Meet One of Our Members
This member had already been training online with one of our coaches, Connor, doing Zoom sessions to build healthy habits and lose weight.
But after making good progress, he was ready to step things up — to get into the gym, use proper equipment, and challenge himself in new ways.
The Challenge
Working out from home had helped him get started, but it was missing that extra push.
He wanted to lift heavier, try different exercises, and surround himself with people on the same journey.
The thought of joining a gym again felt a bit daunting, but he was determined to make a real change.
Why He Nearly Didn't Start
Like many people transitioning from home workouts to the gym, he wasn’t sure what to expect.
Would it feel intimidating? Would he be able to keep up?
But as soon as he walked into The Colony Health and Fitness, those worries disappeared — replaced by a friendly, motivating atmosphere that made him feel right at home.
The Turning Point
He quickly realised that training in person gave him the extra boost he needed.
The sessions were fun, social, and structured — and before long, he found himself doing something he’d never imagined:
coming to the gym three times a week, including Saturday mornings!
That sense of routine and community helped him stay consistent and actually enjoy training.
The Results
Since joining the gym, he has:
✅ Increased his training frequency and confidence
✅ Built strength and improved fitness with proper equipment
✅ Gained a sense of belonging and enjoyment from the sessions
✅ Found motivation and accountability through the community
Here’s what he had to say:
“I’d been working with Connor for a while doing Zoom sessions, trying to lose some weight, but I wanted to take it to the next level and start going to the actual gym. I’ve really enjoyed it — I’ve signed up again and been coming three times a week, even on Saturday mornings, which is not me if you know me! It’s fun, you meet lots of people, and you feel better for it.”
