For Catherine, exercise hadn’t always been something she looked forward to.
But since joining We Are Group X, that has completely changed.
For the first time, she’s found herself genuinely enjoying exercise — and, more importantly, actually wanting to come back.
The Challenge
Catherine’s goals weren’t about chasing a number on the scales or hitting a particular fitness milestone.
She simply wanted to feel fitter, stay active, and have the energy to keep up with her kids.
Her goals were simple:
- Get fitter
- Stay fit and active
- Keep up with her kids
- Feel better in herself
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Finding exercise you genuinely enjoy can be difficult.
It’s one thing to know you should exercise, but another to find somewhere that feels comfortable, welcoming and suited to you.
For Catherine, We Are Group X has given her exactly that.
The Turning Point
What has made the biggest difference is the people.
Catherine describes the coaches and the Group X community as friendly, welcoming and “really normal”.
There’s no pressure to keep up with anyone else. She can work at her own pace when she needs to, while knowing the coaches are there to push her when she wants that extra challenge.
It’s an environment that simply fits — and it’s helped turn exercise into something she genuinely enjoys.
The Results
Since joining Group X, Catherine has:
Found herself enjoying exercise for the first time Built fitness to help her keep up with her kids Started feeling better in herself Found a friendly and supportive fitness community Discovered a style of training that allows her to work at her own pace while still being challenged
And she’s even found a favourite class — Lift. (Although the prowlers definitely haven’t made the favourites list!)
Here’s what she had to say:
“It’s the first time I’ve actually enjoyed exercise and I’m quite happy to come back. The coaches and the crew are all really lovely, really friendly and really normal. You can go at your own pace or they’ll push you if you want them to. It just fits really well.”
What This Means for You
Exercise doesn’t have to be something you dread.
With the right environment, the right coaches and people around you who make you feel comfortable, it can become something you actually look forward to.
If you want to get fitter, feel better and find a way of exercising that works for you, the Group X 6-week programme could be the perfect place to start.
As Catherine says: “Definitely do it. It’s worth it.”
