STORY TIME…

The best workouts are often the ones that we do angry, sad or stressed… no pre-workout needed, just pure emotion! 
The gym offers a safe place to escape, channel & process our thoughts & feelings. 

I always used to bottle up my emotions & sweep them under the carpet then try to move on… this is not a healthy strategy as those emotions build & sneak out when you least expect them… 

Before I started my self-love journey, I was very much a people pleaser, I was too afraid to raise concerns about my partners behaviour due to fear of losing my relationship & confrontation. 

My workouts created a positive outlet for my thoughts, feelings & helped to give me the space, clarity, self-worth, confidence & resilience to actually address the things that were bothering me in my relationship & set firm boundaries.

… Now the gym is helping me to heal, grow & move on ❤️🔥
