My Burn It journey started at the beginning of 2019, after a trip to the hospital for a scan for suspected gall stones, they also told me I had a fatty liver, this absolutely horrified me. Not only was I fat on the outside, I was fat inside too!

I think that’s when it really hit home that now was the time I absolutely had to do something about my weight. With two young daughters having watched me over the years struggling with ALL the faddy diets, weight up and down, watching me step on the scales almost every morning and seeing me feeling miserable and unhappy with what I seen and how I looked, something just had to change. My girls deserved better from their mum, I wanted to set a better example for them growing up, they deserve a healthy and happy mum!! 

Joining Burn It has 100% been one of the best decisions I have ever made, I was petrified at first, my friend Catherine had been going for a while so I went along with her for my first session, I thought I was going to die by the end of it but at the same time I felt amazing, everyone was so nice and encouraging and I was hooked after my first class!!

Within a few weeks I could feel the difference in my fitness levels, so much so I bit the bullet and decided to sign up to do a 10k race last September for charity. Never in a million years did I ever think this would be something I was capable of but attending Burn It classes I discovered a real love for running so enjoyed all the extra training along with my usual Burn It nights.

I enjoyed every second of running that 10k, it was so tough and while I was never going to be fast, I finished and felt the most amazing sense of achievement and I’ve already signed up for a couple more races so far this year too!

As much as I was loving the exercise though I just couldn’t get my eating under control yet, so I signed up for the Burn It Revolution, this 10 weeks absolutely changed my attitude to food and exercise, i managed to drop 2 dress sizes and lost 20lbs of fat in a short 10 weeks, I have honestly never felt better in my life, mentally and physically.

The encouragement from the instructors is amazing, so much support from them all really keeps you going during classes. 

I cannot recommend joining Burn It enough, I feel so proud of how far I’ve come and my fitness journey has only just begun!!!
