I started training with my personal trainer ‘Jamie Lea’ at ‘West London Fitness’ in November 2014 and I had never been to gym before. I was apprehensive about the idea but after a chat on the phone with Jamie I felt at ease and excited about my first visit. There were three things that I wanted to cahnge in my life, 1, lose weight 2, become fitter and 3, (my most important goal) was to find out if exercise would improve my mood- as I suffer from depression. I am really pleased that after only four months training that I have lost 11 kilos! and I’m much fitter and active. I noticed My mood improving after only 2 or 3 sessions. I’m eating better than any other time in my life and I feel more ‘alive’ also my self esteem and confidence have increased. So everything I read about how exercise can improve mood I found in my case was true. The gym is a nice size and well equipped and the atmosphere is friendly, I found that after a short time I felt very relaxed. The training varies each week so there’s no routine element. Having a personal trainer is very important for me as I tend to give up if I try to do it alone. Jamie knows how to motivate me and to push me to get more out of myself, it’s hard work but great fun I really enjoy it. I have also trained with Karl Gibson in Jamie’s absence, who also gives me a really good training session that’s tough but fun. I highly recommend ‘West London Fitness’ to anyone who might be feeling the same way about going to a gym that I was, there’s ‘nothing to lose’ (except weight!) and some much to gain.
