From Lockdown Weight Gain to Feeling Fitter Than 20 Years Ago

Glenn is a dedicated member of We Are Group X who came to us feeling the effects of gradual weight gain — especially during the lockdown period.

The Challenge

Before working with us, Glenn had steadily gained weight over the years, with things escalating during the COVID lockdowns.
He’d reached a point where he knew something had to change — not just for appearance, but for his energy, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Like many, he’d tried going it alone, but without the right structure or motivation, the results never stuck.

Why He Nearly Didn't Start

Like many of our clients, Glenn was sceptical.
He wasn’t sure if a gym setting was right for him — especially after not having trained in a long time.

The idea of walking into a class again after years away from fitness felt daunting.

The Turning Point

Once he started with We Are Group X, Glenn quickly realised it wasn’t like other gyms.
The coaches tailored sessions to each person’s ability — even in a group setting — and created an environment that felt supportive and motivating.

He began alternating classes between trainers for variety, and the change in energy, strength, and consistency was massive.

The Results

In just a matter of months, Glenn achieved:

✅ Lost 4.5 stone (approx. 28.5 kg)
✅ Feels fitter than he did 20 years ago
✅ Sleeps better and has more energy daily
✅ Improved mood — even his wife noticed!
✅ Built a consistent routine of 2–3 sessions per week

Here’s what he had to say:

“I feel fitter now than I did 20 years ago. I’ve lost four and a half stone, I sleep better, my energy’s up — even my wife says my moods are better! I’d recommend all the trainers here — they’re excellent. Don’t hesitate, just come along.”
