Before joining ProtoFit, Sarah was fed up with how she felt.
She hadn’t really done much exercise before, and even the thought of going to a gym was enough to put her off. Confidence was low, energy was lacking, and something needed to change.
After seeing ProtoFit on Facebook, she decided to give it a try.
The Challenge
Sarah’s biggest barriers were mental as much as physical.
She struggled with:
- Feeling unhappy with how she felt day to day
- Little to no gym experience
- A strong dislike and fear of gym environments
- Low confidence in her ability to stick with anything
Starting felt intimidating, but staying where she was felt worse.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Like many people, Sarah had always been put off by gyms.
She worried that:
- She would feel out of place
- She wouldn’t know what she was doing
- She wouldn’t be able to keep up
- She might quit like before
Taking that first step was the hardest part.
The Turning Point
What changed everything was the support and encouragement she received from day one.
Training at ProtoFit felt welcoming rather than intimidating. Sessions were structured, supportive, and designed to help Sarah progress at her own pace while still being challenged.
Slowly, confidence grew alongside fitness.
The Results
Since joining ProtoFit, Sarah has completely transformed how she feels about herself:
Lost around 16kg
Became fitter and stronger
Gained confidence inside and outside the gym
No longer intimidated by training
Built consistency and belief in herself
Here’s what Sarah had to say:
“I was fed up with how I was feeling. The thought of a gym had always put me off. I think I’ve lost about 16 kilos. I am fitter, I am stronger, and I’m more confident, and that is all down to both of you.”
What This Means for You
If you’ve always felt put off by gyms, unsure where to start, or lacking confidence, Sarah’s story proves that change is possible.
You do not need experience.
You do not need confidence.
You just need the right support.
