_{I wanted to join for a while but was apprehensive. I was really worried that I wasn’t going to fit in, that no one would like me, I was going to be the fattest and I definitely was not going to be as good or as fit as everyone else. At the end of my first class I almost had an anxiety attack cos I thought everyone was going to laugh at me for being the last one to finish! But no one did, everyone cheered me on and it felt so good! Still cried at the end though cos I was so proud that I’d done it! Not once have I been made to feel like I don’t fit in, that I’m fat or that I’m not as fit as everyone else. And that’s because everyone is so supportive and encouraging. The messages that we send in the group are amazing and so helpful. I’ve never felt part of a gym community like I do now. I love the variety of the classes and that we are challenged and encouraged to do more and better and to celebrate all that we can do. I feel amazing at the end of every class, even on the days I don’t feel like coming. We have such a laugh and I love how real we all are with each other. I’m no longer exercising to lose weight but to be fit, healthy, feel confident and strong AF!”}
