Carly joined SOS Personal Training six months ago after watching her partner completely transform.
Seeing the positive changes in him gave her the confidence to take the first step herself, although it took a couple of months of encouragement before she finally signed up.
The Challenge
Before joining SOS, Carly had never lifted weights before and felt completely out of her depth.
She was also struggling to find balance with her nutrition. Being overweight had left her unsure how to eat in a way that supported her goals, and she didn't know where to begin.
Like many people starting their fitness journey, she simply needed guidance, support and a plan she could stick to.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Carly admits she spent months sitting on the fence.
Although she could see the incredible progress her partner had made, taking that first step still felt daunting.
Looking back now, there's only one thing she wishes she'd done differently.
"I wish I'd joined sooner."
The Turning Point
From day one, Carly says she felt welcomed.
Her coach, Zoe, and the rest of the coaching team made learning feel easy, guiding her through every workout and supporting her nutrition every step of the way.
The six-week challenge gave her the structure and confidence she needed to build lasting habits.
The Results
After just six months at SOS Personal Training, Carly has achieved far more than she expected:
Built confidence training with weights for the first time.
Developed a healthier relationship with nutrition.
Added lean muscle while reducing body fat.
Found a supportive community that keeps her motivated.
Genuinely enjoys training and being part of the Saturday team sessions.
Here's what Carly had to say:
"It's the support and the people. The community is just amazing. Everybody's so supportive of each other. The coaches have been there 100% every step of the way."
