MORE THAN JUST A GYM
At PureGym we love to celebrate our members, they inspire us so much. Each member has their own story about what the gym means to them.
H
ey! I’m Sophie, I’m 20 years old and I’m a student studying Fashion Marketing.
I have always been involved in sports and danced since I was young, but always struggled with my weight and body image and being a ‘bigger’ girl when I was in school. I found it difficult to find someone to relate to.
I always wanted to join a gym throughout my teenage years, so as soon as I turned 18 and was able to pay for a gym membership myself, I signed up as soon as possible!
Initially I was very anxious to join the gym as I had never stepped foot in one before and didn’t really know what I was doing or what technique or exercises were correct.
I was very worried about being judged if I did anything wrong or because I felt like I didn’t fit in straight away. But, on my first gym session I was shown round by a personal trainer who showed me how to work the machines and the correct technique on a few exercises and after this I felt more at ease. Throughout my first few months I did a mix of cardio and weight training which is where I noticed some weight loss and started to see progress. Ever since then I’ve been hooked on the gym, and it has now become part of my lifestyle.
I make sure to prioritise the gym because it really improves my mental health and helps with stress or any anxieties. The gym is an escape and a sort of therapy for me. Now I am 2 years into my fitness journey, I have really recognised how important keeping fit and healthy both physically and mentally really is. My personal struggle with mental health has really been improved by going to the gym. And it’s helped me accept myself more because no one person in the gym looks the same.
