🔥 Friday Fire: How Tara Reclaimed Her Health and Confidence After a Mini Stroke

After a mini stroke in March last year, Tara had a realisation that stopped her in her tracks.

“I’d let myself go since Covid. Life got in the way. But after the stroke, I knew I had to do something — I needed to lose weight and get fitter.”

She had done circuit classes before, so when she joined GB1fitness in Milton Keynes last May, she had a rough idea of what she was signing up for. What she didn’t expect was how much she’d come to enjoy it.

“I go to class every week — I wish I could do more! Each session is different, always fun, and even though it’s outdoors, you warm up quickly. The hour goes by in a flash.”

Tara's ongoing turnaround

As she's got stronger, Tara added running in Milton Keynes into her weekly routine too. The mix of circuit training and cardio has helped her build confidence, strength, and endurance — and the physical results speak for themselves:

✅ Nearly 3 stone lost

✅ Running regularly

✅ Feeling healthier, stronger, and more motivated

“The circuits have really helped with running. Some weeks there's even a run element in class, and it’s pushed me to keep going.”

Tara’s story isn’t just about weight loss in Milton Keynes.

It’s about taking control of your health, rebuilding self-belief, and making time for you again.

She’s proof that it’s never too late to restart, and that your comeback can be even stronger than your setback.
