"March 2021 I moved to Felixstowe, I weighed my absolute heaviest at 19 and a half stone.
It wasn't until I saw the picture on the left I realized how bad i'd gotten from lockdown, I knew I had to do something.
I'd tried gyms before but could never stick at it. I always felt isolated and ignored, like just another faceless member. I'd lose motivation and quit.
Figuring i'd give it another go I ran into Coastside Fitness in town. Conveniently right above Boots. So easy to get to that I thought, why not?
Much to my surprise this was nothing like a gym i'd been to in the past: This was a totally new experience. The staff there were amazing and friendly, like meeting a family. They wrote me up a fitness plan. Explained diets and calories. They made weight loss seem so simple that even someone like me could do it.
Every time I showed up they always called me by my first name, asked me how my day was, what I was working on today. I quickly made friends. It was like a social club instead of a gym, the atmosphere was fantastic.
Gym stopped being hard, I started looking forward to it. I'd sneak in for a bit while shopping. Or head there after work to burn off some stress. Sometimes just to say hi and catch up.
Now just over a year later I'm at 15 and half stone. 4 stone lost. I could hardly believe it! It was the best feeling in the world.
Then unfortunately some terrible news came: The place was closing down. I was totally gutted, but it was short lived, as a new owner stepped in to save our local downtown gym.
Now relocated just near Argos at Studio 8, with a new name change to Felixstowe Fitness, I knew there was no way I could leave. So i'm still there, still grinding away with the same great people and great atmosphere. Just with a new lick of paint and fresh scenery. Perfect to stop by for a quick 30mins while out shopping.
All thanks to the great people at Felixstowe Fitness, cheers! You guys changed my life!
And hey, if anyone reading this stops by in town. Come say hi to me! I'm in there 3 days a week, every week. Next goal is 13 stone"
