Friday Fire: Stephen’s Story – Smarter Training, Stronger Running

From “Doing OK” to Doing It Right

Stephen has been a runner for over 12 years — and by his own words, he’s “done OK at it.”

But like many seasoned runners, the question eventually came:

“I ain’t getting any younger… I needed some proper training to sort me out.”

He didn’t want a traditional gym.

He wanted something that actually worked, fit his lifestyle, and kept him accountable.

Circuits, Not Treadmills

That’s where GB1fitness stepped in.

Circuit sessions offered Stephen structured strength training that complemented his running and supported injury prevention — all in a space that didn’t feel like a chore.

“I don’t like gyms very much, so GB1’s circuit sessions fit the bill perfectly.”

Strength training and endurance don’t compete — they complete each other.

The 3 Pillars of Progress: Strength, consistency, and belief

Community, Clarity & a Mental Reset

What Stephen didn’t expect? The extras.

“There’s a real sense of community from all the different sorts of people here…”

“…and a chance to switch my brain off from work!”

GB1fitness isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and social health too.

During 2025 Stephen has fulfilled an ambition, he is now officially in the 100 marathon club.
