The reason I joined DMC fitness is because I was overweight. The main driving moment for me was with my boy and I was carrying him up the stairs, and I got to the top of the stairs, and when I got there, I was completely out of breath and I knew that obviously he was going to get bigger. He’s going to be more of a handful and in time, and not just so I can go on the weight that put on primarily even more and on after the sort of Covid kind of period and I was actually scared to look at the scale. I think at that point I was touching round about 23 stone. Today I am down to 15 stone nine him and that makes a huge difference in every aspect of my life.

DMC has completely transformed my life. I have more energy and everything I do from my work to my personal life. Simple things like bending and doing my shoelaces are now nice and easy. I can bound up steps to attain him. Everything feels like I’m on easy mode compared to hard mode, which is how it was previously.

Most importantly for my little boy. He is autistic. He’s non-verbal and he’s a handful. He’s very energetic and I can now keep up with him. That is the driving force and the impact that’s had is absolutely significant and I love it. In terms of results that I’ve achieved, I have got stronger. I’m also a lot more flexible and mobile as well. I now walk every single morning at six in the morning, I do a three miles every day. I love that. It gets your day started start and frees my mind to tackle the day. So I’m stronger, I’m fitter and generally feel better about myself.

So DMC’s focus on mobility helps with flexibility. But at the same time it helps improve the numbers for strength as well. So you’re walking, doing bodyweight, core work, that then strengthens any sort of lifts that you’re doing. Which, which is incredible. The focus on mobility helps in every sort of aspect of life. And it’s not just what you can do in the gym, it’s what you can do everywhere else.
