Palmer Fitness Pilates & Yoga

When I was younger I wasn't skinny but had never been really unhappy with my body. As I reached my late 20s and headed into my early 30s the years of enjoying a little too much booze and unhealthy foods had caused the pounds to gradually creep on until I reached a point where I realised I had to do something. I was becoming depressed as none of my clothes fit me and I didn't want to go out with friends any more because I was so unhappy with how I looked.

Towards the end of summer 2008 I saw an advert for a brand new gym nearby. I grabbed the opportunity and joined up with a friend for moral support. We started going together and nervously tried out a few classes. I felt a bit awkward at first as I was self conscious about my weight. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and I soon discovered I loved exercise and couldn't get enough of it! With the support of some great instructors and new friends the weight started to drop off.
