Emily’s fit20 Journey:
From Pain to Strength
When Emily joined fit20 Farsley in Leeds over a year ago, she was struggling with back and shoulder pain caused by her desk-based job. Despite trying physiotherapy, the issues hadn’t fully resolved, and she realised she needed to address her strength.
The personalised, 20-minute weekly sessions at fit20 helped Emily tackle these challenges. Now, her back and shoulder pain have disappeared, and she feels much stronger overall.
She explains, 'I feel like I could walk forever now', and adds that she's noticed a big improvement in her overall fitness and day-to-day well-being.
20 minutes a week sounded too good to be true at first, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.
For Emily, the simplicity of fit20 was key. With a busy life and no interest in spending hours at a gym, she needed a solution that worked with her schedule.
'20 minutes a week sounded too good to be true at first', she says. 'But it turned out to be exactly what I needed.' The flexibility of the sessions and how easily they slot into her routine made all the difference for Emily.
Will I see results outside of fit20 sessions?
Emily’s improved strength has had a noticeable impact on her favourite activities, including badminton and cycling. She’s particularly proud of how much her stamina has increased, and hills on her bike rides have become far less daunting.
Whether it’s sports or everyday activities, building strength at fit20 has helped Emily feel more capable and confident.
What makes fit20 different?
For Emily, one of the highlights of her fit20 experience is the personalised support from her trainer. She appreciates how each session is tailored to her needs, helping her push to her limits without feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
She also loves the way fit20 tracks her progress. Seeing her strength improve over time has been hugely motivating. 'You can see where you started and how much stronger you’ve become', she says.
What would Emily say to someone considering fit20?
Emily’s advice to others is simple: 'Give it a try.' She believes it’s important to stick with it for a few sessions to truly see the benefits. Her experience proves that consistent, small efforts can lead to real, noticeable progress. From eliminating pain to building strength and improving fitness, fit20 has had a hugely positive impact on Emily’s life.
