Libby’s Story
Over a year ago, Libby was due to go on holiday with her family when she found that most of her clothes that she was packing didn't fit her any more. How many people can relate to this?
At this point she was faced with two choices. Either buy more clothes at a larger size, or do something about it.
Her parents were encouraging to say the least, but didn't know if she would stick to it at first. But after a couple of months, it became apparent that Libby was going to, not only stick to it, but was going to do something special.
She first came to me, as a personal trainer, when I was working for Sports Direct Fitness. We started with the basics and built from there.
I remember her being not very fit at all really, but had the right attitude from the very start. She gave everything her all.
After a few months of coaching, I as a PT went independent. I moved out of Sports Direct and starting working for myself in the private studio, The PT Room.
Libby came over and spent another year training with me.
Over all, she lost around 3 and a half stone, although most of this was lost in the first 6 months.
She was studying for uniformed services with a view to going into the police, but when her fitness improved to such a high level, suddenly more opportunities opened up.
That's when the navy started to look like a real prospect.
Through countless conversations with her, Libby has gone from someone who 'did' exercise because she had to, to someone who actually loves to train.
So much so, that she's thinking about a career as a PTI for the Royal Navy.
Libby deserves all the praise for her hard work over the months. She's always turned up, and always give her best. I'm very proud of her for what she's achieved and wish her all the success for the future.
