When Jenny first came to GB1fitness, it was because a few friends insisted she’d love it.

She wanted strength training to support her running, but the gym had never felt like her place.

Standing inside four walls, headphones in, going through repetitive movements?

It just didn’t click.

So she gave GB1fitness a try and 2.5 years later, she hasn’t looked back.


Strength That Transformed Her Running

Jenny arrived wanting to get stronger… and she has.

Not just a little stronger, significantly stronger.

The strength she’s built in class has completely changed the way she runs.

Those longer distances that once felt intimidating now feel achievable.

Her confidence has grown, her endurance has improved, and she’s feeling fitter than ever.

The Power of Outdoor Fitness

Gyms didn’t work for Jenny, but training outdoors with real people did.

She fell in love with the variety of GB1fitness sessions, the fresh air, the energy, and the feeling of being part of something fun and welcoming.

Every class gives her something new to try, a new challenge to take on, and a reason to smile.

A Community That Became Her Friends

One of the biggest changes Jenny didn’t expect was the friendships.

Classmates became training partners.

Training partners became friends.

And now?

A whole group of people she can’t imagine her life without.

They’ve tackled Wolf Runs together, shared Christmas meals, and danced the day away at the 80’s Day Disco (one of her highlights of the year!).

As she puts it: “Joining GB1fitness was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

Stronger. Happier. Supported.

Jenny’s story is exactly what GB1fitness is all about, feeling included, having fun, getting stronger, and building long-term fitness in a way that feels good, not forced.

If you’ve ever felt nervous or unsure about where to start…Jenny's journey is a reminder that the hardest step is the first one.
