FRIDAY FIRE: TAZ - TWO YEARS OF GB1FITNESS, SASS, SWEAT & SURVIVAL

From “How Hard Can It Be?” to “I Regret Everything Already”

Two years ago, Taz took the plunge and joined GB1fitness with the innocent optimism of someone who had absolutely no idea what was coming.

She started as Graeme’s very first PT client, the original guinea pig. (Who is Graeme aka GB1?)

The test subject.

The founding member of “Things Graeme Tries Before They’re Safe for the Public.”

For a whole year it was just Taz, a pile of weights, and the Drill Sergeant’s unique ability to make her reconsider what was fun and what wasn't fun during a single rep.

But for some reason, she kept coming back.

Eventually, she graduated into Circuits, the infamous GB1fitness circus where no one knows what fresh chaos awaits.

Burpees? Probably.

Knee tuck-ins? Absolutely.

Something that looks like it was designed during medieval warfare? Most definitely.

But the biggest wildcard is always Graeme.

His “motivational language” is a cocktail of insults, sarcasm, and unexpected comedy.

"You cry, you laugh, and sometimes you do both at once while holding a plank."

Fair-Weather Warrior Meets All-Weather Training

GB1 classes run in all conditions, rain, frost, sideways hail, extreme winds, and whatever that “orange warning” day was when Graeme claimed it was “fine”.

Taz, on the other hand, describes herself as a fair-weather athlete.

Sunshine? She’s basically early.

Rain? She suddenly has “urgent laundry”.

Snow? She’s 100% “busy”.

And yet, somehow, she still shows up more often than she admits, and always leaves feeling better for it.

It didn’t take long for Taz to realise that GB1fitness isn’t just training, it’s a full community experience.

You leave each session with sore abs, and not just from core work.

Half of it is from laughing at the chaos, the insults, and the shared suffering.

And the Drill Sergeant?

He has a real talent for pushing her further than she thinks possible.

Sometimes by swapping her weights mid-set.

Sometimes by shouting across the court.

And sometimes, unbelievably, by using her as a footrest during planks.

To this day, she hasn’t emotionally recovered.

From “I Can’t Be Bothered” to “I’m Basically Wonder Woman”

Two years on, Taz is stronger, fitter, more confident, and far more resilient than she ever expected.

GB1fitness has taken her from “I’ll skip today” to “I could take on the world” in just 60 minutes.

But the biggest win?

The friendships.

The laughs.

The feeling of belonging to a group of people who make fitness feel fun, not forced.

Taz said it best...

“GB1fitness is the best decision I’ve ever made. If you want fitness, fun and a side of sass, this is the place.”

And honestly? She’s not wrong.
