Laura is 28 and came to RT Fitness looking to level up her training.
She already enjoyed running, but wanted to feel stronger, more confident in the gym, and more in control of her overall fitness.
The Challenge
Before joining the Barbell Club, Laura felt unsure about lifting heavier weights and needed better support around nutrition and consistency.
Like many, she didn’t want to look back in years to come and regret not taking better care of her health and strength.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
It’s easy to put things off. Laura knew she could end up stuck in a loop — thinking about training, but never fully committing.
Would she fit in? Would it be overwhelming?
The Turning Point
Once she took that first step, everything changed.
With an easy-to-use app, constant support from Joe and the team, and a group chat full of recipes and encouragement, Laura felt completely connected — even outside of sessions.
She started hitting PBs, lifting heavier, and noticed huge improvements in her running too.
The Results
Since joining, Laura’s achieved:
✅ Lost 10 kilos
✅ Increased her strength with multiple PBs
✅ Improved her running performance and recovery
✅ Built confidence in the gym and in herself
✅ Boosted her mental health and long-term wellbeing
Here’s what she had to say:
“Since joining the Barbell Club I’m down 10 kilos. I feel more confident lifting heavier, I’m hitting PBs in the gym and in my running. Everything’s in the app and the support’s always there — it’s been amazing.”
What This Means for You
If you’re stuck in a cycle of thinking about it but not starting — Laura’s been there.
Taking that first step made all the difference, and now she’s stronger, healthier, and loving it.
