From surviving to living...
I’ve been with Elements for just over a year now, and what started as a huge leap of faith and trusting my gut, has turned into something I never thought possible, and something I still genuinely struggle to believe today. I’ve lived with a medical condition that severely affects my spine and other joints for over 30 years. Being told that I would end up in a wheelchair, overweight and living in constant pain makes you do little more than survive through life. I had genuinely tried what felt like everything to get fit, strong and healthy, but every time I explained that something hurt, I was met with the same response: just stop and wait until it gets better. It became a vicious cycle with no end. The one thing I hadn’t tried was personal training. And honestly, why would I? Everything else hadn’t worked, so why would this be any different? I was scared to lift weights through fear of causing more damage, had never tracked a single macro and didn’t really understand what they were. But this time was different. From the very beginning, I knew this was something I had never experienced before. Why? Because it is absolutely clear that Elliott and his team genuinely care. From my initial conversations with Elliott, through to the consultation and then working with my trainer, no stone is left unturned. Yes, it’s absolutely terrifying at the start, but the exceptional knowledge of the whole team, combined with the care, understanding and unwavering support they constantly show, means that even though it’s online, you are never, ever alone on this journey. There is no doubt in my mind that without Elliott, Dan and the whole team’s support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Stronger, fitter, healthier and significantly lighter than when I started. I’m lifting weights I never imagined I’d be capable of lifting given my condition. The education I’ve received around nutrition has also had a profound and incredibly positive effect on my relationship with food. Honestly, there are not enough thank yous in the world for what Elements Online Personal Coaching has done for me. Life-changing is a cliché, but in this case, it is 100% true. I’m slowly finding my way back to the person I always hoped I could be before my diagnosis - happier and much more confident. So, if you’re in doubt, take that leap of faith with this team. You might just find yourself living your life rather than simply surviving.
