“I have been training at Studio1 fitness for 5 years now. After igniting my passion for weight lifting, nutrition and training in this way; I realised that I wanted to help others in the same way that Kelly and Studio 1 has helped me
to motivate and support others in achieving their fitness goals. I am now participating in a fitness apprenticeship at Studio 1, and with the support of Kelly and the team, I will achieve my goal.
It’s challenging and fun, the clients and the whole team are super supportive.”
Paula
Brown
I was always pretty active as a child and I swam 7 days a week. It wasn’t until my
mid 30s though that I got actively back into fitness after having kids and managing to
snatch back a bit of me time.
The realisation had hit that edging towards my 40s my
health and physique weren’t going to be quite as easy to maintain as they had been
in my carefree 20s.
Although I’ve always managed to stay at a healthy weight doing various sessions, I
never quite understood why I hadn’t progressed physically beyond that - until I
started at studio 1!
Discovering weight training was huge a turning point for me. Not only had I discovered a way to train that I actually loved but I started to learn and understand
about the nutrition I needed to compliment my hard work and help me see results.
Anyone that knows me knows I’m a bit of a foodie. If I’m not eating food, I’m either
making it, thinking about it or talking about it. Not wanting to compromise my taste buds for my muscles I started researching and experimenting with my favourite
recipes. I transformed them into healthier high protein meals which could slot into my
new lifestyle but also be enjoyed by my family.
My interest in nutrition is constantly growing and has been a natural progression
alongside my own fitness journey. Studying an applied nutrition course has
increased my knowledge about the science behind food and athletic progression. It
has also provided me with techniques to be able to pass on my passion and
knowledge to help others start, progress and succeed on their own personal journeys. I have never felt fitter or in better shape than I have in my 40s. You’re
never too old to make positive changes where your health is concerned.
You can’t out train a bad diet; you are what you eat!
