Meet Agnieszka
Agnieszka is a 52-year-old accountant from Lostock Hall who joined AK Active while battling the effects of menopause — from exhaustion and lack of concentration to unexpected weight gain and low confidence.
She needed something to help her reconnect with her body and mind.
Today, she’s not just a member — she’s one of our instructors.
The Challenge
Menopause brought more than just hot flushes for Agnieszka.
She felt drained, struggled to focus, and couldn’t understand why the weight was creeping on.
To make matters worse, she was unsure whether her scoliosis and weak joints could even handle regular exercise.
With a packed schedule and financial concerns too, she wasn’t sure this would fit into her life.
Why She Nearly Didn’t Start
Agnieszka was sceptical about weight lifting.
Would it make her pain worse? Could she stick to a routine? Was it really possible to feel better at this stage of life?
But with careful guidance and a supportive environment, she decided to give it a go.
The Turning Point
Everything changed when Agnieszka realised it’s never too late to move your body.
AK Active offered her a tailored approach that respected her limitations while building her strength.
She started noticing real improvements — physically and emotionally.
And for the first time in years, she felt energised, balanced, and confident again.
The Results
Over the past 9 months, Agnieszka has:
✅ Lost a stone in the first 3 months
✅ Improved her body composition and posture
✅ Gained energy, focus, and emotional clarity
✅ Reduced pain and improved joint mobility
✅ Found peace between her body and mind
✅ Loved it so much — she became one of our instructors!
“I realised it’s never too late to exercise. I fell in love with the process and the changes it brought to every aspect of my life. That’s why I became an instructor — to support others through it too.”
