Six members of Driffield’s Woldsway To Health are jumping for joy after collectively losing an incredible 100 inches after completing a 12-week training plan designed to suit each of their individual needs.
Vicky Scott (local pig farmer), Diane Clixby (paramedic/ambulance driver), Abby Gordge (teacher), Joanne Nicolson (teacher), Yvonne Raynor (mother of two young children) and John Boyes (occupational health therapist) are all thoroughly delighted with results that they have achieved with the help and support of Woldsway to Health.
James Iveson, Co-owner of Woldsway to Health, said: “We would like to say how proud we are of all the hard work undertaken by all of them.
“They have followed a 12-week plan designed by us. The plan is nothing new to what we have always done at Woldsway To Health but what is different is that we’ve put all the different parts of our training systems together into one 12-week plan to suit each individual’s needs.
“We recognise that everyone is different and what suits one person doesn’t necessarily suit the needs of another.
“So using a combination of weight training, boot-camp, group training, triathlon training and cardio training we adapted a plan, no longer than an hour each session, to incorporate all of our training systems.
“We weighed, measured and took pictures at the outset of the 12-week plan so we could track the progress of each person and monitored them every four weeks to ensure all were keeping on the correct path.
“We are about to start another 12-week plan with another group of people this week and we look forward to seeing more success stories there too.
“If anyone is interested in joining the club or would like more information our team of helpful and friendly staff are ready to help you, just call 01377 253333 to book your free guest visit!
Yvonne Raynor
“I have not been a member of Woldsway to Health all that long and when I heard about the 12 week plan I was keen to take on the challenge.
“Not only have I lost a total of 17 inches I have more energy and I feel so much better about myself.
“I am no longer taking antidepressants and I feel so much more confident in my own skin as I have achieved so much in a short space of time.
“The team have been highly motivational and given me myself belief. The gym has such a fantastic friendly atmosphere, not only do I feel comfortable there but I have made loads of lovely new friends.
“I am going to continue the plan for another 12 weeks as I have enjoyed it so much and I want more!”
Vicky Scott
“I was approached to do the 12 week plan and straight away thought it was a good challenge for me.
“I had trained hard all year but had never really given a lot of thought to losing weight.
“After talking to the Woldsway team it became apparent I needed too, so I stepped to it.
“I slogged my guts out for 12 weeks and lifting the weight of two grown men repetitively twice a week on top of my triathlon training, unsurprisingly weight started to fall off me!
“I did not miss a session and became more and more motivated to succeed and prove to myself I could complete the course.
“It has been a challenge in terms of fitting the training in but I have really enjoyed it and it has been made all the more worthwhile by people’s positive comments and words of encouragement.
“I am determined to carry on. The team at Woldsway have throughout been brilliant and have always been on hand to help me set up weights, advise me and motivate me.
“I have nothing but praise for all they have achieved with me and hope they will continue to help me push myself and win a triathlon, Ha ha, – or just beat my sister.”
John Boyes
“This has been a real life changer.
“With the constant support and professional help of the Woldsway team I have achieved results in 12 short weeks that I never thought were possible.
“Not only have I lost weight and inches, I am fitter and have more energy.
“I am now doing classes which 12 weeks ago I would have genuinely said I could never manage in a million years.
“But the most important and lasting benefit of the program is how it has changed my behaviour and attitude to exercise for the future. I’m hungry for more. Thank you Woldsway!”
Abby Gordge
“I was sceptical that this plan could work for me but everyone at Woldsway encouraged and supported me all the way. Now, 12 weeks later, I have lost 24 inches and I feel great!
Jo Nicholson
“After gaining weight following an injury to my hip I joined Woldsway to Health.
“I was unable to fit into most of my clothes and felt tired and unfit.
“I signed up to the trial and the 12-week plan which was hard work, fitting in four sessions a week alongside a job and three children.
“Although it was tough going with help and enthusiasm from the staff and fellow 12-week plan recruits I lost a stone in weight and 17 inches!
“I feel fitter, stronger and have more energy than I have had for a long while.
“Thanks to all the staff at Woldsway to Health.”
Di Clixby
“I first decided to join Woldsway to Health in august 2012 after struggling to climb four flights of stairs at work with all the heavy gear.
“I thought I would join just to get a little fitter. I have now lost 3 1/2 stones and gone from a size 20 to a 14, with the combination of the gym and a healthy diet.
“Woldsway gym is a really friendly clean gym with very friendly staff, who are very encouraging.
“When you join the option is there to have one to one sessions, which are also excellent for spurring you on all the time, also the option is included in your fee to do the classes available each week too. I really enjoy these.
“I have another two stones to lose before April to get to my higher target but I know it is achievable with the encouragement of the staff at Woldsway to Health.”
