I trained at Virgin Active and David Lloyd before I joined 360 and I found that I really struggled with motivation and was never where I wanted to be with my fitness! But then a good friend of mine told me about 360 and to start with I wasn’t at all keen about high fiving everyone before and after a workout, but I gave it a go and it’s been an amazing change in my life. I’ve met some amazing people and now, not only am I finally where I have always wanted to be in my fitness, I still feel pushed to do more which is great! It’s the best experience and it has now become a hobby and no longer a chore! I’ve made some incredible progression since joining doing things I never though my body could do! I highly recommend 360, the best thing for me is the bond we all have with coaches and members !
If you are looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle, then this is just the place! The coaches will give you all the time in the world. They will instruct you how to train correctly, guide you on nutrition that’s suitable for you and most important will listen to what you need. The bonus is the friendly-family feeling!
Before joining 360 I just ran, distance ranging from 5-10k, occasionally a half marathon, but never felt I was a particularly good or strong runner. I originally joined 360 because I wanted something different to a commercial gym. Looking to get stronger, fitter and most importantly become a better runner. After completing my first marathon last year (badly), I knew I could have run better and I wanted to improve. So I wanted to find a way to incorporate strength and conditioning exercises into my training program. The progress in five months has been amazing. I’ve lost 11kg in weight, 15-20% in body fat, and I’m down TWO dress sizes. Most importantly though I feel fitter and stronger. My running has definitely improved, I’m two minutes faster on my pace per mile and have recently achieved PB’s for 5k and half marathon – 17 minutes faster! The best thing about 360 though….the people, the coaches, the members…it’s a community and a family. I look forward to my session in the evening as it’s always fun! Training at 360 is now part of my life, my routine. I’ve made many friends at 360 and some are even travelling to Berlin with me in September to support me at the Berlin Marathon!!
My brother and best mate had been coming to 360 for a few months and wouldn’t stop talking about how good it was so I was intrigued to try it. My first impressions were great. Everyone could tell I was new and made an effort to come and introduce themselves and made me feel so welcome. I loved that the workout for the day was on the big screen ready for everyone to do it together. My first big win was getting my first 65 kg squat snatch, something I had failed over 50 times before, so when I finally got it I was over the moon. At the moment I’ve gone back to basics and trying to work on my strict strength, build a good foundation of strength everywhere which will hopefully help me get a few more reps in next year’s open. My favourite 360 moment wasn’t actually in the gym, it was on a 360 night out. I looked around and there were a good 15-20 people who a year prior I didn’t know they existed. Fast forward a year and we are out having the time of our lives together and I’m grateful to 360 for that. In terms of a personal achievement, my best memory was getting my first ring muscle up after almost giving up hope of getting one.
Before 360 I was mainly playing Netball, running and doing normal gym work, using the cross trainer, treadmill, and doing sit ups, squats and dumbbells. I joined 360 because I wanted something to challenge me, as I found I had become stagnant in the gym and never pushed myself. I used to just plug in my earphones and go through the motions. Since joining 360 I have become stronger and can lift weights that I never thought I would and my stamina is now much better when playing sport. I really like how varied the workouts are and I have tried things I would never have done in a gym. The trainers and members are all so nice and really encourage you to get through the workouts, even when you think you can’t do another burpee or box jump!!!. The classes are also small, which is ideal when you are new as the trainer has time to help with technique.
