Meet Darrellyn
Darrellyn Garner is a 54-year-old civil servant and HMRC resource planner from Lostock Hall, Preston who came to AK feeling overwhelmed by the symptoms of perimenopause — weight gain, joint pain, anxiety, mood swings and a general sense of feeling unfit and unhappy.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Darrellyn was frustrated by her fluctuating health.
She enjoyed being active but couldn’t face the gym or traditional weight training. Nothing held her interest for long, and she often felt like fitness programmes were just an expensive gamble with no real guarantee of success.
Why She Nearly Didn’t Start
Like many of our clients, Darrellyn was sceptical.
She wasn’t sure if this would actually work — especially when previous attempts felt like too much effort for too little reward. She doubted she’d enjoy the sessions and feared getting bored or seeing no change.
The Turning Point
Once she started with us, she quickly realised how different our approach was.
With the right support and structure, Darrellyn began to feel stronger, happier and more in control of her body — and she was genuinely surprised by how much she enjoyed it, even 20 months in!
The Results
In just a few weeks, Darrellyn started seeing measurable changes — not just on the scales, but in how she felt.
After 20 months, she achieved:
✅ Fat reduced from 31.2% to 19.5%
✅ Muscle increased from 36% to 44.6%
✅ Overall weight loss of 4.5kg, with 2.1kg gone in the first 6 weeks
✅ InBody results improved from C type to I, and then to D, which means her muscle mass is high in proportion to her weight and body fat — where she’s stayed!
✅ A dramatic reduction in perimenopause symptoms
✅ Confidence, energy, and happiness at an all-time high
Here’s what she had to say:
“There hasn’t been a single day when I haven’t wanted to go to my class and that speaks volumes for me. I’m happier, more energetic, and still love the process even after 20 months. The support from everyone at AK is like having a big extended family — I’ve never felt safer or more supported while exercising.”
