Synergy Gym
I had gotten to a position in my life where I was a mammy, a wife, a pharmacist and overall, a busy person. I’d become so far removed from “me”, that I’d lost all my confidence and zest for life. It got to the point where I had given up hope for myself, piled on a lot of weight and was no longer the bubbly, outgoing, sociable person I used to be. I actually used to dread meeting new people or people that I hadn’t seen in a long time, as I was so embarrassed and hid behind leggings and baggy tops, walking with my head down.
I actually contemplated contacting Synergy for months! I so badly needed help, but was too scared to make that move. I finally mustered up the courage and dropped them a message.
I haven’t looked back since that day; Sara took me under her wing, helped me build back up that healthy relationship with food and exercise that I thought was well over. We had structured weekly check-ins, and most importantly, Sara was there at the end of the phone literally 24/7 if I had any questions throughout the week. There are weekly zoom calls with the other ladies from the gym who were on a similar journey, which are invaluable. Being able to connect with peers who are maybe 2/3/4 years down the line from where I was, or connect with ladies who were just starting off. But having that community, listening to questions and answers, and swapping ideas, was amazing.
I loved the nutrition plan and the meal ideas, and never once felt like I was on a “diet”.
At the end of the New You Project, I had lost 2 stone and 3 dress sizes. But it was so much more than that. I gained confidence, I developed a healthy relationship with food again, I rekindled my love for the gym. But the most important thing for me, is that I’m learning to love myself more too.
Every woman deserves a break from the monotony of day to day life, from work, from family life. My advice is, don’t put off contacting Synergy if it’s something you’re contemplating. No matter what your fitness levels are, they will tailor your program to fit you.
