From Pain to Progress

When Kate first started at GB1fitness, she was struggling. Stiff, uncomfortable, and seriously considering a visit to a back specialist, she admits:


“I was ready to go and see someone to crack my back… scared to hell about it. But what I really needed was regular movement with some weights.”


Instead of masking symptoms, she chose to build strength—and it changed everything.

Strength Through the Cycles

As someone navigating the ups and downs of perimenopause, Kate shares how important it’s been to have a space that’s supportive, flexible, and not based on guilt or punishment:


“Some weeks I struggle with those life cycles—but I’ve been able to keep training without feeling like I’m failing.”


We talk about this mindset in Discipline Over Motivation—showing up, even if it’s not perfect, is what builds lasting change.


Running Again—And Loving It

Training at GB1fitness didn’t just help Kate move better. It gave her confidence.


“My training has given me the confidence to go back to running, build my distance, and feel strong again.”


It’s not just physical, either—her mental health is in a great place too.


“I have the tools I need to support me when I dip. That’s what consistent training has done.”

No Judgment. Just Progress. And Fun.

For Kate, one of the biggest wins is the environment:


“In a gym I always felt like I wasn’t good enough. Frustrated with equipment hogging. Pressured. Judged.”

Now?

“My training with GB1 has been empowering—but most of all, I have fun.”


That’s what makes GB1fitness different. Whether you’re in a challenging season, short on time, or coming back to movement after years away—there’s a place here for you.
