Abby's story
Now, here’s the thing—my fitness journey didn’t start out the way you might expect. Growing up, I wasn’t the sporty type at all. I even took tennis lessons, but I’ll admit—I was mostly just afraid of getting hit in the face by the ball! The only activity I truly loved was dance. After dancing as a child, I picked it back up in sixth form because I knew I wanted to study Musical Theatre at university.
Around that same time, I joined the gym for the first time—but honestly, I had no clue what I was doing! I’d just hop on the treadmill and walk.
But as I went through uni, I made some awesome friends who were into strength training, and we all started working out together. That’s when I first got a taste of lifting weights. I loved barbell squats and bench presses, especially when we’d cheer each other on to push harder! We even tried making our own workout plan.
After uni, I worked with a coach for the first time and really got into training with specific goals in mind. I’ve always been drawn to strength training, and in early 2024, I started working with a new coach to really focus on squats, bench, and deadlifts. Now, I’ve never felt stronger—both physically and mentally. Training is my happy place, and the mental health benefits have been just as important as the physical ones for me.
