Boom! Canny start to the week, just opened my inbox to this….
Hi Darren,
As I sit on holiday I cannot help but reflect on the difference in myself now compared to this time last year so wanted to drop you a short note of my appreciation for all of your help, guidance and most of all where I’m often concerned patience!
Just over a year ago I decided to join Pinchaninch on the recommendation of a friend, to be totally honest I didn’t know if I could stick to it, ive never really enjoyed exercise and I think I’ve tried most diets going, always the same, losing weight no problem but always putting it all back on again quicker. I knew I had to try something however, the tears of disguist when clothes shopping and meltdowns when going for a night out were ever more frequent and I hated the way I looked in every aspect, before putting on all the weight I was the life and soul of the party, confident and bubbly, I still feigned confidence when at my biggest but inside I was a depressed wreck!
I remember turning up to my first session and seeing everyone look so much fitter than I was, wondering if they were thinking ‘who’s this fatty?’ How wrong I was, I have rarely encountered such a nice and understanding group of people who are so encouraging and helpful. I soon realised that most people at Pinchaninch have at some stage been in a very similar position. I also remember my first weigh in, 14 stone! I was so embarrassed but Darren didn’t even flicker, he offered advice, went through what to do and what not to do and the weight soon started coming off. I’ll admit I have always found it difficult to maintain weight loss but for the first time in my life, I wasn’t putting on all that I was losing. Fast forward a year, I am 2 and a half stone lighter, healthier and so much happier, I have confidence back and have really enjoyed shopping for all my new much smaller clothes! I even allow photos to be taken now which was a definite no no before!
I would highly recommend Pinchaninch to anyone looking to not only lose weight but wants to maintain a healthier lifestyle and get their confidence back! I actually enjoy going to the classes (which was a surprise to me who has rarely done any excerise), it can be hard work at times, (anyone would rather be in the beer garden on a sunny day than doing squats and burpees) but it is so worth it and the sense of achievement is immense when people start noticing the difference in you.
Darren is not only a trainer, he’s a teacher, a morale booster and a good kick up the ass when you need it! Him along with the members, make the difference between Pinchaninch and everything else I’ve tried. I still have a little way to go but know with all their help and support I will definitely get there.
I’ll end with once of Darrens favourite quotes to anyone wondering if this is right for them ‘I’m not telling you it’s gonna be easy, I’m telling you it’s gonna be worth it’ and it is 100% worth it.
Again, thanks everyone associated with Pinchaninch for all the help, I really couldn’t have done it without you.
Best wishes,
Joanne
