"I knew I needed to change"! Fiona looked at her holiday snaps- shocked. It was 12 months before she turned 40. This is what she did to lose over 3 stone & drop 3 dress sizes ...
Results!
Over the course of a year with classes including strength training, spinning and my new favourite- fit ball, I have managed to drop down 3 dress sizes and lose over 3 stone.
More Energy- Better Sleep
The change has meant more than weight loss, I have so much more energy and my sleep has massively improved, even my kids notice the difference in my energy.
Community- Support- Encouragement
Thank you, Tracy, for helping me achieve more than I ever imagined,

Graham was shocked when he was given 2-4 years left to live in 2017. 7 years on & still going strong. From Cancer Diagnosis to Resilience: How Exercise helped Graham live, thrive & survive!
The Question- Has continuous exercise helped in my battle with cancer?
