Seamus trains at fit20 Moortown (Leeds). We asked Seamus to share his experience with fit20 so far.

Your Personal Trainer gives that push to achieve my limits. And that gives me confidence!

Please introduce yourself

My name is Seamus Doherty and I am a Customer Services Manager in Leeds.

What made you interested in trying fit20?

When I first came to fit20 I was feeling quite down, like I was in a rut and demotivated. I came to fit20 really because I knew I needed to do something different.

I knew I didn’t really have the self discipline to do workouts on my own. I had done a lot of outdoor fitness but that wasn’t really working for me anymore (it was more cardio and I needed more strength work).

I’d also had a Personal Trainer in a gym before but to be honest I couldn’t really afford it.

fit20 seemed to be the perfect compromise; where you were getting more attention, but it doesn't cost as much as a Personal Trainer.

What differences have you noticed in yourself since starting?

The thing I’m most happy about is since this time last year I’ve gone down from a 38 inch waist down to a 34 inch waist. That’s from looking after my diet as well as doing fit20 but that’s been great for me.

It’s brought increased self confidence and feeling good about myself. I still do a bit of outdoor fitness and my cardio has really improved. And my strength is much greater now than it was when I first started.

Why does fit20 work for you?

The big thing for me with fit20 is that relationship with your Personal Trainer; in that they really look after you and make sure that you’re keeping to the form. And that you’re doing what you should be doing. They explain everything really well, so you don’t only know what you’re doing, but you know why you’re doing it.

What would you say to anyone who's sceptical about fit20, or not sure if it can work for them?

What have you got to lose? Try it, see if it works for you.

I couldn’t believe that you can achieve so much in just 20 minutes a week. But you can. I’ll be honest - it’s not a magic wand; It’ll work if you work it. But they really make it as easy as possible for you to achieve your goals.

We appreciate you for sharing your experience with us, Seamus! It's wonderful to learn about how fit20 is making a positive impact on your life.
