Nicola is a 52-year-old from Wetherby who came to TRU looking to improve her overall fitness, work on her technique, and build up her strength — especially after feeling like she’d hit a bit of a plateau.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Nicola had been training on her own but felt she wasn’t seeing the results she wanted.
She wanted to feel stronger and fitter, but lacked the structure and accountability to keep making progress.
Her sessions didn’t always feel purposeful, and she needed a space where she could be guided and pushed in the right way.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Like many of our clients, Nicola was unsure whether joining a structured gym like TRU would really make a difference.
Would it be friendly? Would she enjoy it? Would she stick with it?
The Turning Point
Once she started with us, she quickly realised it was nothing like the intimidating gyms she’d imagined.
The friendly trainers, welcoming atmosphere, and small group sessions gave her the structure and support she needed — and a real sense of belonging.
With the right encouragement and a booked-in session every time, Nicola was finally consistent. That made all the difference.
The Results
In just a short time, Nicola achieved:
✅ Noticeably increased fitness and stamina
✅ Improved strength using weights she never imagined lifting
✅ A huge energy boost — and a smile walking out every time
Here’s what she had to say:
“You're coming to TRU, you're making your hour count. That accountability is so important because I know for a fact that I would not have gone had I not had the session booked in.”
