Why did you first join DMC?
I joined with the aim of enjoying fitness again and learning how to safely and effectively strengthen my knee after surgery. I come from a dance background so was relatively fit but mainly required guidance and motivation.

When did you start coming to DMC Fitness?
June 2025

What impact has coming to DMC had on you and your life?
I feel a lot more motivated in many aspects of my life and I look forward to going to the gym now. I have also gained a lot of trust in my knee, and I feel that I am more confident in and outside the gym.

What results have you achieved?
I feel a lot stronger, but I have also gained knowledge and trust within myself so I feel that I am able to continue progressing. 

Why do you keep coming back?
I look forward to my sessions. I feel more motivated with Pablo encouraging me and I love learning why I am doing exercises, not just going through the motions. The sense of accomplishment after the session is also great.

How do you find working with your coach?
I was sceptical that I would enjoy having a coach. I have been pleasantly surprised, and I love having someone who has a plan and lets me know what to do. It means I only have to focus on one exercise at a time. I have also found that chatting during the exercises makes them pass quicker so sometimes Pablo distracts me enough that the time goes quicker and I forget about the struggle🤣

What advice would you give to someone who’s thinking about joining DMC?
Absolutely go for it. Be prepared to work hard, but don’t be stressed that you will have a set plan that cannot change. If I was having any discomfort or pain, I communicated that and was listened to. Exercises were adapted to work for me, and it feels more like a team effort, rather than just being told what to do and following instructions.
