I have always struggled with my weight with most of my life and have never been entirely happy. In May 2008 I was at an all time low, I had had a back operation four years ago and the weight had just piled on. At my heaviest I couldn't even look in the mirror. I noticed an advert in the local newspaper advertising the gym and decided i had had enough it was time to do something.
The though of going into a gym totally filled me with dread but all the girls were so friendly and it was ladies only. All the ladies who attend have one thing in common and that to feel better about themselves.
The weight and inches dropped off gradually at first but once i started it got easier and easier. The circuit is also so easy to do and its enjoyable.
I am now at my target weight and feel great. I now enjoy shopping for clothes The girls are absolute stars and I've made some great friends as well. I have lost a total of 4st 8lbs and 58 inches.



BIG THANK YOU , I couldn't have done it on my own.

When looking at some photos taken of us last year , my Partner and I both decided it was time for us to re-think our eating habits and to start taking more exercise.
However , it was the onset of a family wedding , later this year , and the fear of the wedding photographer's camera , that gave me and my Partner that extra motivation to help us start turning that decision into a reality.
So in April , having put together our own healthy eating plan , we began to eat more sensibly . The increased energy from simply eating better meals quickly gave me the energy to start exercising more and so I decided to join a Gym to accelerate my weight loss still further.
I chose Fit Femmes in Chesterfield because their Ladies Only feature really appealed to me, plus their exercise circuit only takes half an hour to complete so it was easy to fit into my busy schedule .
The air resistance equipment is easy to use and I have found it very effective.
The instructors at Fit Femmes are friendly and have extensive training and knowledge about exercise and weight loss. In just 7 weeks the weight loss I have achieved is 1 stone 1 pound. I've managed to reduce my body measurements by 14 and a half inches and 6" of those came off my hips!!!!!!!.
The new body shape that is emerging since I started at Fit Femmes has made me much more confident as I feel better about myself.
Facing a camera now is not a problem thanks to Fit Femmes.

I've never eaten regular meals and I didn't really notice my weight was creeping up. I was aware that my back hurt after driving long distances and seeing a new ladies only gym - Fit Femmes opening nearby in Chesterfield I decided to make enquiries after reading claims that their 30 minute circuit could help ease muscle pains.
At my induction, standing on the scales for the first time in 20 years and seeing that I weighed almost 13 stone came as a shock and I vowed to do something about it. Every member gets an individually tailored programme consisting of exercises that are air assisted and suitable for anyone. With the encouragement and advice from the friendly instructors at Fit Femmes about eating regularly I found I really enjoyed working out on the 30 minute circuit. The exercises are not strenuous and can easily be carried out during a lunch hour.



After 30 weeks I lost 3 and a half stone and dropped 4 dress sizes and feel so much healthier. I am now 9 stone 4lbs.

I was off work ill for about 18 months; with what the Doctors thought was M.E. Eventually I was diagnosed with early menopause and put on to HRT. The consultant at the hospital told me I would never loose the weight I had put on …………… They had not reckoned on the team at Fit Femmes.



I walked in to have a look round on a cold snowy morning, wearing my ski trousers and Monique promptly put me on an exercise machine, snow boots and all!



With member of all ages there is always a fantastic atmosphere. The staff are very knowledgeable and encouraging and always make time to have a chat and a laugh.



At my 10 week assessment I was amazed to find that I have lost 9 and a half inches from doing the circuit and using the power plate – the best invention ever.



After the workout most members sit and have a coffee and a chat. Exercising used to be something I did because I had to; now I go to Fit Femmes, laugh till my face hurts and lose weight in the process. The whole team make it an absolute pleasure to work out.
