Meet Chetna
Chetna is a 47-year-old Accounts Manager from Preston who came to AK Active feeling overwhelmed, lacking in confidence, and struggling to find time for herself amidst work and family life.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Chetna often felt consumed by negative thoughts about her appearance.
She struggled with motivation, turned to comfort food when stressed, and found balancing work, home life, and self-care almost impossible.
On top of that, her limited knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating made planning and preparing meals feel daunting. Even when she wanted to make a change, her busy schedule left her feeling stuck.
Why She Nearly Didn’t Start
Like many of our clients, Chetna was sceptical.
She wasn’t sure she’d cope with the gym equipment, worried her stamina wasn’t good enough, and feared she wouldn’t fit in with the gym culture.
Time management was another concern — how would she juggle work, family, and training? And, like many people, she worried about expecting instant results, only to feel let down and give up again.
The Turning Point
From the very first day at AK Active, Chetna felt welcomed.
The friendly atmosphere and supportive people helped her quickly realise that this wasn’t just about exercise — it was about building confidence, learning, and putting herself first.
She became motivated to complete all her weekly sessions and discovered that the process could be enjoyable. Along the way, she learned about nutrition, making it easier to fuel her body with the right foods without feeling restricted.
The Results
In just a few months, Chetna achieved:
-
✅ A 4kg weight loss (6.9% of her body weight)
-
✅ Dropped a dress size — her very first goal
-
✅ Gained strength, stamina, and confidence in herself
Here’s what she had to say:
“From the minute I walked into AK Active, I was welcomed with open arms. The friendly people and positive atmosphere made the gym an enjoyable place to be, and my mindset quickly began to change. I started putting myself first, became motivated to complete all my sessions each week, and learned so much about the right types of food to eat.”
