Over the last few years, I have struggled with Anxiety, Depression and was also diagnosed with a mild panic disorder and OCD tendencies..
My matter of coping with the constant torment in my head was to eat. I allowed myself to slide down a slippery slope of low mood, low motivation, low self-esteem and I pretty much existed for a long time.
But, by January 2020, I found InvincABLE, and let me tell you, those girls don’t even know half of what they have done for me. Rachel did my first couple programmes, and she listened to what I wanted/needed, gave me a plan suited to me, gave me variations of movements so I had something to work towards. Pushed me, laughed with me, SUPPORTED me, with whatever I needed.
Katie has done my most recent programme, she is also the one that trained me on my very first day when 10 step ups killed me and now I am doing burpees (which I never thought I could do). She has pushed me to my limits, for which I am forever grateful, old me would have given up 10 times by now, but she reminds me of how far I have come.
That’s the thing with InvincABLE, it’s a personal experience, the girls have always greeted me, have the chats, and giggled. I’m not some nameless person going in and out. They genuinely care about my success in this journey.
I’m coming up to a year now, (lockdown did throw a spanner in the works ) I am a couple pounds away from my 3st mark, down 4 dress sizes. Meds are being reduced. I have my bad days every now and then, but it used to be everyday, now those days are few and far between
And I can actually say I like the gym. ( anyone who knows me, would never of thought those words would leave my mouth)….
My journey is not over, but I would not be where I am without the support of family, friends and InvincABLE!!
