When Effort Isn’t the Problem
Collette wasn’t struggling because she wasn’t trying.
She was running several times a week, showing up consistently, and doing what she believed she should be doing.
Yet progress had stalled, energy was low, and frustration was growing.
“Despite all the effort I was putting in, I felt stuck. My running wasn’t improving, I was constantly tired, and I found myself complaining that I’d plateaued.”
This is where many people sit for years.
Working hard, but not moving forward.
The Doubt Before the First Step
The suggestion to try GB1fitness didn’t land smoothly at first.
New environments often come with doubt, comparison, and fear of not belonging.
“My first reaction was no. I was nervous. I worried I wouldn’t be good enough, felt intimidated by training with people I didn’t know, and wasn’t convinced about exercising in all weathers.”
But encouragement from a friend, and a willingness to try just one session, tipped the balance.
Consistency Changes Everything
That single decision became a turning point.
“That decision changed everything. Eighteen months later, I can honestly say I’ve never looked back.”
By adding structured strength, conditioning, and core work alongside her running, Collette stopped feeling drained and started feeling capable.
Training became something that supported her goals rather than fighting against them.
Real Results, Not Short-Term Wins
The physical changes followed steady consistency, not shortcuts.
“My running has improved beyond what I thought was possible. I’m hitting PBs at parkrun, my muscle definition has improved, and my core strength is the best it’s ever been.”
Alongside improved performance came weight loss, increased confidence, and something just as important, enjoyment.
“I’ve lost weight, gained confidence, and rediscovered my enjoyment of training.”
Community Is the Difference Maker
Progress didn’t happen in isolation.
“Training alongside like-minded, supportive individuals who have become genuine friends has kept me motivated and coming back week after week.”
This is where consistency sticks.
When people know your name, notice when you’re there, and encourage you when training feels hard.
Training That Challenges and Connects
GB1fitness sessions push physically, but they also lift mentally.
“Every class pushes me, challenges me, and most importantly makes me laugh.”
That balance matters.
Training should challenge you, not drain you.
Why This Story Matters
GB1fitness didn’t replace Collette’s running.
It strengthened it.
“GB1 didn’t just improve my running; it reminded me why I love training in the first place.”
That’s the heart of GB1fitness.
Not extremes.
Not hype.
Just consistent training, supported by a strong community, delivering real progress.
Call to Action
If you’re training regularly but feel stuck.
If you’re tired of plateaus and stop-start motivation.
If you want strength, structure, and a community that keeps you consistent.
