How many times have you told yourself:

“I’ll join when I’ve lost a bit of weight.”
“I need to get fit before I walk into a gym.”
“Everyone there will be miles ahead of me.”

You're not alone — this is one of the most common things I hear from people who want to make a change… but feel they’re not ready yet.

And here’s the truth:

You don’t need to be fit to start.

You just need to start — and keep showing up.

The Hidden Cost of Waiting


Every day you wait to feel “ready,” you lose valuable time you could be making small, sustainable progress.


It’s like saying: “I’ll learn to swim, once I can swim.”

Fitness isn’t something you earn first.

It's the tool to create the version of yourself you want to become.





At GB1fitness, You’re Welcome As You Are


Whether you’re just starting, returning after a break, or unsure where to begin — we’re here for it.

This is not a space for comparison or ego.


It’s a space for:

  • First steps

  • Fresh starts

  • Small wins

  • Real progress

  • Friendships


We meet you where you are.

Every workout is scalable.

Every win matters — even just walking through the door (Yes, we now have a gate 😃).

Progress Doesn’t Have to Be Loud


Sometimes the biggest breakthrough is showing up after a tough day (or cold day).

Or

Realising you didn’t talk yourself out of it this time.

Or

Leaving feeling proud instead of punished.

Or

Lots of many other reasons personal to you!

That’s the power of progress over perfection.
