Overcoming Adversity: Julie’s Inspiring Fitness Journey
Julie isn’t your average gym-goer—she’s a powerhouse of determination! Her fitness transformation journey is nothing short of remarkable. After surviving a serious car accident, Julie faced mobility limitations, muscle weakness, and exhaustion. But with expert rehabilitation training at Fitagain, she has not only regained her strength and endurance but is now taking on new fitness challenges.
If you’re looking for inspiration to recover from an injury, regain mobility, or start a personal training programme, Julie’s story proves that anything is possible with the right mindset and support.
The Setback: A Life-Changing Car Accident
Four years ago, Julie’s life took an unexpected turn when she was involved in a devastating car crash. She suffered ten broken bones and spent nine weeks unable to walk.
Despite returning to work at her nursery school, she found herself struggling with extreme fatigue, unable to keep up with daily activities.
“A lot of the time I was coming home, my daughter would make dinner while I sat watching TV with a glass of Prosecco. And that was becoming every night.”
Realising she needed to take control of her health, Julie decided it was time for a change.
The Turning Point: Joining Fitagain Gym
Julie started training with Chris Williams, a Personal Trainer at Fitagain, focusing on strength training, mobility, balance, and endurance.
Her initial goals were simple:
✅ Get up from the floor unaided
✅ Walk up stairs comfortably
✅ Feel confident in her body
With structured rehabilitation workouts and consistent training, Julie exceeded even her own expectations.
From Struggle to Success: Smashing Fitness Goals
Before joining Fitagain’s personal training programme, Julie attempted a hike in the Lake District but struggled to keep up due to weakness in her legs and poor fitness levels.
Fast forward just a few months into her training at Fitagain… this sentance is too repetitive of what’s said above – change to – and this years hike was a different story…
“When we went up the hill, I was powering ahead! My cardio and recovery weren’t a problem and the things you don’t notice were all becoming noticeable.”
🔹 Leg Press Strength: Started at 5kg, now lifting 30kg
🔹 Endurance: Can now lead hikes instead of lagging behind
🔹 Mobility: No longer reliant on assistance
🔹 Fitness & Lifestyle: Has quit alcohol and improved her diet
Julie’s dedication, combined with Fitagain’s expert coaching, has completely transformed her physical and mental well-being.
What’s Next? Pushing New Boundaries
Inspired by her progress, Julie has taken on her biggest challenge yet—a 36-mile Heli Hike to raise money for the Devon Air Ambulance Service, the organisation that saved her life.
Her journey highlights the power of resilience, expert personal training, and a never-give-up attitude.
