After watching a Disney film with their eldest granddaughter, she asked Annette and Richard if she would meet her prince and get married in the future and their response was a definitive ‘Yes’. 

They had a discussion and their granddaughter expressed that she would want the two of them at her wedding. 

This was a trigger point for both Annette and Richard, as they quickly realised that they may not be around for their granddaughters wedding if they were to carry on as they were.  They both knew they had to do something about their health and wellbeing.

Despite having anxiety about joining a gym, they plucked up the courage to be able to join Hatfield Leisure Centre.  They knew this is what they both needed to do to make a change in their lives. 

When they took the first step to join, they felt comfortable with the help of the staff.  When they entered the centre, they were greeted with smiles from our supportive staff, who helped them to sign up and provided them with the information they needed.

Despite their initial fitness journey starting more than three years ago, with the help of nutritional plans and the amount of exercise they do weekly, both are making sure they never go back to their old habits and how they were/felt before.

This journey has led them to lose a combined amount of weight totalling 20 stone!

Even to this day, three years after they initially joined, Annette and Richard are still enjoying attending the gym.  Annette now enjoys participating in our fitness classes, with Pilates being her favourite class. 

Despite the difficult decision to pluck up the courage to walk into the centre for the very first time. They both know that it was a life changing choice which has paid off, especially knowing that they will be able to see their grandchild on her wedding day, one day in the future. 

Congratulations Annette and Richard!
