Gymophobics has certainly changed Jane Hutchison’s life. At size 18-20, Jane wanted to get fit and lose weight, but doesn’t drive and was scared at the thought of exercising in front of men at a gym. So she found Gymophobics - close enough to walk to, it’s Rugby’s only women’s only gym. And after losing 4 dress sizes and 3 stone she loves it enough to take part in this year’s advertising campaign to encourage other women to come along and join up. Her Gymophobics sessions helped her to get fit enough to start running too. Now, exercising every day, and eating healthily, with nutritional advice and help from the Gymophobics’ instructors, allows her to maintain the weight loss that has just seen her placed as National Gymophobics Slimmer of the Year runner up. And it’s not just about weight loss. Jane is more confident now too. When she looks in the mirror she’s genuinely happy with how she looks. She feels great and is still amazed by the difference
that going to the gym has made to her figure. “I will never stop coming to the gym. Not even when I’m 80. Joining Gymophobics changed my life in so many ways. I never believed what people said about exercise making you feel good, but now I know it’s true and I feel fabulous.”
