I joined Step into Life, Cheltenham about 12 weeks ago after having my two children, with the goal of maintaining a regular fitness routine and therefore being fitter and healthier than I have ever been. I had tried running many times in the past but had never been able to stick with it. Guided by the expertise of my trainers Donna and Moran, and with plenty of encouragement, I have observed my strength and fitness increase quite rapidly over such a short period of time. My mood has lifted, I have more energy, and I look forward to meeting up with my Step into Life trainers and colleagues each week where I enjoy training, and am challenged in a fun, supportive and non-competitive environment. In addition, since joining Step into Life I have observed the way in which I have become a role model for my two young daughters who embrace me with hugs and kisses each day before I head out the door to training - I hope this inspires and motivates them to enjoy physical activity and the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle in their years to come. Many thanks to Donna and Moran and everyone at SiL for making me feel so welcome and helping me to achieve my goal!
