Client of the Month - Abi Swinson

Abi, what do you enjoy about training?

What do I enjoy about training?  Everything!  I love it.  It’s the one time in the day where I’m doing something just for me.  I love the people, the trainers and being part of the whole Studio Twenty 3 community.  I love lifting weights, I love feeling strong and capable, I love having muscles, I love the improvements it has made to my 45 year old body.  I love eating healthily and between Mark and I, I love the positive influence that it has on our three teenage kids.

Abi is a true inspirational success story. Although you might not believe it, until the age of 40, Abi was uninterested in sport or exercise!
Abi took up personal training sessions with Gareth 6 years ago and her consistency, highly motivated spirit and determination have produced the results that she is showing today. She has experienced a broken arm along the way but this hasn’t stopped her. Physio treatments, optimism and encouragement at Studio Twenty 3 carried her through this time.
As well as being focussed and hard-working in the gym, Abi also practices the nutritional advice that we suggest. Abi trains 6 x a week and this includes 1 x PT session on a Monday, a SGT on a Wednesday and Friday and 3 x short home HIIT sessions each week. Pure dedication.
A recent fantastic achievement:

• 10 x UNASSISTED PULL UPS!!! Thanks to a brilliant chin-up programme from PT Stu.

 
Having spoken to Abi the other day, she told me that she never says ‘no’ in the gym. She is willing to give everything a go and I can’t help but think that this mind set is exactly what is needed to produce similar success stories.
