Before joining Fit2Shine, my body felt stiff all the time — tight muscles, an achy lower back, and poor mobility. I was nervous about starting fitness again, but the way the classes are designed for women made such a difference. The resistance band training, mobility work and functional fitness have completely changed how my body feels. I move better, feel stronger, and my back pain has reduced massively. Now I’m focused on maintaining everything I’ve gained, and Fit2Shine makes that easy and enjoyable.

Fit2Shine is so much more than exercise for me. I joined during a very emotional time in my life when I felt overwhelmed, angry and exhausted. From day one, this felt like a safe, kind and non-judgmental space. The coaches truly understand women — not just our bodies, but our emotions too. Some days I show up tired, some days emotional, and it’s always okay. Movement, breathwork and the supportive atmosphere have helped me heal in ways I didn’t expect.

After surgery, once my physio ended, I felt completely lost. I knew I needed to keep exercising to protect my body, improve strength and prevent another surgery — especially with osteoporosis concerns. Finding Fit2Shine was a turning point. The coaches are highly qualified and truly understand medical needs. I can exercise safely at my own level, modify when needed, and still feel challenged. I’m stronger, more confident in my body, and no longer afraid of movement.

Fit2Shine covers everything a woman’s body and mind need. Being in menopause, I knew I had to change how I approached fitness, as I can’t exercise the way I used to. I was looking for a coach and a community that truly understand women at this stage of life and could help me stay healthy while managing my symptoms and aches.

Thanks to Fit 2Shine, I feel better in my body, sleep better, and feel more relaxed and energised—which my family definitely benefits from too, as I’m much more fun to be around.
