Judyâs Lost 9 stone! Strength Training Has Changed My Life! Tracy's encouragement & guidance has totally changed the way I view food & my body..
First Place Fitness appealed to me & I contacted Tracy for Broadway Blitz Dance & then looked at these people doing Strength classes before me & wondered if I could do it - Tracy, of course, said yes so started those classes.

So I added Spin to my workouts - by now I was doing 2 or 3 Strength, BB and Zumba and now Spin but still we

"I felt 'stuck' - I slowly felt myself slipping away". Mel's Transformative Experience in 1:1 with Tracy...
Working 1:1 with Tracy gave me the space, structure & support I had been missing. Having dedicated time each week allowed me to focus on me â something I hadnât done for a long time. Together, we set goals based on where I was at, not where I felt I âshouldâ be & having someone to be accountable to made all the difference. On top of the physical training, Tracy helped me understand where I was going wrong with certain aspects of my nutrition. With just a few small, manageable

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.

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?
