Tracy
Down 20kg and 14% body fat with #TeamTTR

Down 20kg and 14% body fat at The Transformation Rooms.

As both part of the TTR team and a member on her own fitness journey, Tracy has experienced first-hand the incredible shift in mindset, confidence, and strength that comes from structured coaching and community support.

From building sustainable habits to celebrating massive milestones, her transformation is proof of what happens when you stay consistent with the right environment behind you.

Kate
From severe knee pain to 4 stone lost

I joined The Transformation Rooms because I had severe knee pain, was overweight and felt far weaker than I used to. Before starting, I couldn’t walk far without pain, struggled with stairs and even found opening jars difficult. I genuinely felt about 30 years older.

Since joining, everything has improved. I’ve lost 4 stone in weight, my knee pain is gone and I can now run up and down stairs. My strength, balance and confidence have all massively improved.

What I love most about TTR is the supportive atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging, and even at the start I never felt out of place. It’s amazing being part of such a supportive community.

If you’re thinking about joining, do it. Stick with it and you’ll be amazed how far you can come.

Kathryn

I joined The Transformation Rooms after seeing the ‘beginners only’ message. Even though I wasn’t a complete beginner, I’d lost all confidence in my ability, my form, and even feeling like I belonged in a gym.

I’d spent a lot of money on online apps and programmes that I never stuck to, and I wasn’t getting the support I needed from a mainstream gym. I couldn’t justify paying for a PT either, so I felt stuck and frustrated.

I signed up for a call expecting a typical sales pitch, but that’s not what I got. Chris immediately stood out as someone who understands coaching — not just physically, but mentally too. The focus on goal setting, habits, check-ins and nutrition really clicked with me.

Before starting, I struggled with confidence, consistency and feeling like I belonged. I’d recently moved to the area and didn’t know anyone, which made it even harder.

Now, I feel completely different. I walk into the gym with confidence and feel like I’ve found somewhere I belong and can thrive. The community is welcoming, encouraging and full of energy.

I’ve noticed big changes in everyday life — carrying heavy shopping, running up and down stairs, walking the dog — everything feels easier. I even ran a 10k recently and got my fastest ever 5k, and the only difference has been training at TTR.

What I love most is the structure and positivity. Chris knows everyone, supports everyone and genuinely cares.

If you’re thinking about joining, do it. You won’t regret it. It might not be the cheapest gym, but it’s worth every penny.”

Sam

I joined The Transformation Rooms because I love going to the gym and wanted somewhere that would help me keep fit, get stronger and feel healthier — but in a friendly environment where I didn’t feel self-conscious.

Before I started, I wasn’t as strong or as confident in what I could do. I found some exercises really challenging and my overall fitness wasn’t great — even carrying shopping into the house used to leave me exhausted.

Since joining, I’m really impressed with how much stronger I’ve become. At the start, I could only manage 3 step-ups, and now I can do between 30 and 50. My fitness, strength and confidence have all improved, and the coaches are brilliant — they understand how you feel and work around any individual needs.

What I love most about TTR is the atmosphere. The trainers are supportive, everyone is motivating, and it’s a place where I genuinely enjoy working out.

If you’re thinking about joining, go for it. You’ll feel supported from day one, and if you stay consistent the results are amazing. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Maggie

I decided to join The Transformation Rooms to improve my strength, build my confidence, feel better about myself and meet new people.

I was new to the area and live quite remotely, which made me feel quite isolated and lonely. I didn’t feel confident enough to go to a gym, struggled to focus on things and felt quite sluggish with no real direction.

Since joining, I now have something to look forward to every week. I feel much better about myself, my strength is improving and I’ve made some lovely friends along the way.

What I love most is that you’re not pressured — you’re supported. The team are brilliant and everyone encourages each other, which makes a huge difference.

If you’re thinking about joining, I’d say take that step. There are so many benefits — not just from the workouts, but from the people too.

Sarah

I joined The Transformation Rooms because I wanted proper coaching to make sure I was doing exercises correctly. I’d tried lots of gyms and classes before but often ended up injuring myself due to a lack of guidance.

Before starting, I hadn’t been to a gym properly for over 6 months and felt like I was starting from scratch again. My confidence was low, and I wanted structure, motivation and a plan I could actually stick to.

Since joining, my strength has improved week on week — and importantly, without any injury. I’ve got more energy, I’m sleeping better and I’m feeling more toned. Losing weight wasn’t my main goal, but my clothes are definitely fitting better too.

What I love most is the camaraderie. Everyone supports each other, there’s no judgement and the atmosphere is really positive. The coaches are brilliant — they push you in the right way and genuinely want you to succeed.

It’s very different from other gyms. It feels like a group of like-minded women training together without the pressure of a competitive environment.

If you’re thinking about joining, give it a go — you’ll love it.

Lesley

I joined The Transformation Rooms because the small group training really appealed to me — I enjoy classes and being part of a group.

At the time, I was struggling with menopause weight gain and knew I needed something to give me that push to start doing something about it.

Since joining, my strength has definitely increased. I’m managing heavier weights almost every session, my overall fitness has improved and I’ve noticed a difference even in everyday things like walking the dog. My energy levels have increased too.

What I love most about TTR is the camaraderie. The sessions are fun but still push you to achieve your best, and the support doesn’t just stop in the gym, the out-of-class activities make it feel like a real friendship community.

If you’re thinking about joining, I’d say try it. You’ll be encouraged to get the most out of every session while still enjoying it.

Karen W.

With the menopause presenting its own challenges, I felt driven by the need to make a change and difference to my overall well being, so I signed up to The Transformation Rooms! A big step, being a bit of a gym-phobic, but Chris is always so encouraging and supportive – personalising the sessions for maximum benefit. It’s been hugely beneficial in changing not only my approach to exercise but also my mindset. Thank you, Chris!

Lisa B.

Just had my first session at The Transformation Rooms after signing up… it was great! Was warmly welcomed by Chris and another lady Sam who was working out. Got straight into it with a warm up then controlled exercises, then ended with a quick HIIT then warm down. Chris guides you how to do things properly and really encourages you to give your best. I’m really looking forward to the next sessions and to getting back on track with my weight and fitness!!

Love TTR! Yvonne keeps the sessions fun and lighthearted but also encourages you and pushes you to do more. As much as I complain about it in the moment, it really helps you progress. She's really knowledgable and the sessions are tailored to all abilities. The accountability and community aspect of TTR is what makes them stand out from anywhere else and I genuinely look forward to our sessions every week.

Anonymous Client, Kendal

I decided to join The Transformation Rooms because the adverts felt like they were written for me. Everything I was feeling was being said by other women who had already joined.

Before starting, I was at a real low point. I’d gained weight, even walking short distances was hard, and I felt alone and like I was spiralling downwards.

Since joining, things have really changed. I can now walk further without pain, I actually enjoy the sessions and find myself laughing during them. The banter with the other members and coaches makes a huge difference.

My family and colleagues have also noticed I’ve got more energy and seem much happier.

What I love most is the small group training.

There’s chat, challenge and support, and I feel safe to push myself. Even on the days I don’t feel like going, I leave feeling proud that I showed up and did something for myself.

If you’re thinking about joining, I’d say the hardest part is making that first call. But once you walk through the door and join a group of like-minded women, you know you’ve made the right choice.
