Due to severe burnout in 2019, I started a coaching process. During this process I had several sessions that always took place outside. There, literally and figuratively, the first steps were taken in my recovery, both mentally and physically.
In March 2020 during the first lockdown, I started adjusting my diet and exercising more with the aim of losing weight. First just walking, then, with the help of tips and advice from a friend, running, interval training, trampoline jumping and a number of abdominal exercises were added. I then independently lost 25 kilos in 9 months. I was happy and proud with this result, but was not satisfied with the way my body looked. I decided that, as soon as I could again, I would look for a gym. However, it is a gym that I feel comfortable with.
I then ended up at Enforce Rotterdam. After a very nice conversation, I decided the next day to go for it.
I was looking forward to it but found it quite scary, I had no idea what to expect. I also didn't see myself as the type of person who goes to a gym. How awkward and insecure I felt when I first started. As my journey progressed I felt more and more confident. I am more aware of the steps I have taken over the past six months. Where I used to see nutrition as the enemy, I have now found a healthy balance in my diet. Exercise has become relaxation for me and not just a way to lose weight. I have learned to let go of some things a little more, not just to focus on the numbers on the scale, but on how I feel, my energy and what I can do in my training. I have become physically and mentally stronger and feel a lot more confident.
I was able to meet a great team of people. A team that thinks along with you, is ready with personal advice and helps you find solutions for what is possible instead of what is not possible. I have always experienced the PT as stimulating and motivating with the necessary support and a listening ear.
For the first time I have found a gym where I feel comfortable and where I enjoy going every time. So nice to experience this in a gym.
