Starting the Journey
Hayley took her first steps with GB1fitness in August 2023, motivated by a desire to improve her health and fitness.
Like many of us, she had experienced the frustration of fitness fads and routines that didn’t stick.
But committing to just two sessions a week, Hayley found something different with GB1fitness — an approach that suited her lifestyle and her body.
A Smarter Way to Train
This week’s Who Pays for Burpees Anyway? podcast theme, Train Smarter, Not Harder, captures exactly what Hayley has discovered.
Rather than hammering herself with relentless, high-intensity workouts, she appreciates how GB1fitness focuses on training intelligently.
The circuit classes mix bodyweight exercises with varied equipment, offering a balanced challenge that’s never boring. Graeme takes time to demonstrate new moves clearly and tailors encouragement to each person’s needs.
Hayley says:
“The variety keeps me engaged, and because the workouts are structured around what I can do — not pushing me to exhaustion — I feel like I’m making steady progress without burning out.”
The Great Outdoors Advantage
One of the biggest draws for Hayley is the outdoor setting.
Exercising in fresh air, surrounded by nature, gives her a mood boost that no gym treadmill ever could.
“Even on those wetter days, there’s something uplifting about being outside, moving my body, and breathing fresh air. It’s a feel-good feeling that keeps me coming back, no matter the weather.”
Community and Connection
For Hayley, GB1fitness isn’t just about exercise — it’s the community that really makes the difference.
Being part of a group where everyone is friendly, welcoming, and supportive has transformed her fitness journey into a positive social experience.
She loves that the sessions foster a sense of camaraderie without competition, creating a safe space for everyone to improve at their own pace.
Seeing and Feeling Real Results
Since joining, Hayley has noticed tangible changes — her body feels stronger and more toned, and her confidence has grown alongside her fitness.
She acknowledges that there’s still some way to go to reach her goals, but the combination of effective training, fresh air, and a supportive community makes the journey enjoyable and sustainable.
“Knowing I’m part of something that has a positive impact on me physically and mentally is what keeps me motivated. It’s not just about looking better, it’s about feeling better every day.”
