Caitlin
My name is Caitlin, I am a 37yr old single parent with two very busy happy girls. I work part time & run my own running club. Up until 30 I avoided exercise in every way I could, 7 years on I absolutely love it!
Why did you join Studio Fit?
On my 30th birthday my private life changed completely and I was left with a 4yr old and a 7 week old baby. I needed something to keep me busy and a way to keep me on a level ground. I found running and that's all I did run run run.....great for weight loss as I was a size 16 back then. Anyway enough about that.....I was happy but needed to do something new, my friend found the studio and the rest is history.
What Fears did you have before you joined?
I have always hated 'gyms' and the thought of people showing off doesn't get me motivated. On the day we went down 4yrs ago, I felt very nervous as I had no idea what I'd be doing, but I left feeling brilliant! There was something about the staff and people that made this gym something different and I wanted to do more.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
- Completed 2 Devil Mud Runs with the Studio
- Knocked 6 mins off my running P.B
- Changed the way I think about food and exercise forever
“ I really do look at the studio staff and members as family, I can't imagine my life without this place. Thank you guys for helping me learn to love life and be happy with myself too. ”

What did you struggle with before Studio Fit?
I didn't realise how weak I was, so this type of training was all new to me. Over the years I've learned to lift weights and feel good about myself for the first time in my adult life. I love the fact that my running has got easier and better because I'm stronger all over.
"I'm massively proud of Caitlin and everything she's achieved, she's been a very loyal member over the years and I can't imagine the place without her."
What results have you experienced since joining?
My physical appearance has changed massively but it's my mental health which is the best feeling ever. I was in a dark time in my life and now I feel great! I recently knocked 6 mins off my PB time, 1hr 56mins for my Forest of Dean half marathon.
What does Studio Fit mean to you?
I really do look and the studio staff and members as family, I can't imagine my life without this place and I tell everyone that too. Thank you guys for helping me learn to love life and be happy with myself too.
What would you say to someone wanting to join Studio fit?
Just do it, everyone at the gym not just the staff are wonderful, welcoming and friendly. I've made some brilliant new friends and it doesn't matter what class you do, there is always someone to have a chat and a giggle with.
Sound good?
