Adrenalize success story time!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Linzey Parris in the build up to her wedding!

Linz took part in one of my bridal bootcamp packages for a period of ten weeks to target certain body areas for her big day!

Thank you for working your socks off Linz during every single session, I am so pleased that you got the results you were striving for and I'm honoured to have played a part in the build up to your wedding day.... Congratulations Mrs Parris!!

Detailed below is an interview that Linzey did for me:

1. Main goals before starting your Adrenalize bridal bootcamp programme??

Linz - I tried my wedding dress on and there were just small things that I wasn't happy with. I wanted my waist nipped in without looking skinny (I love having curves), I wanted more definition in my back but my main focus was my arms. I'd never been happy with my arms so this was probably my main focus point.

2. What did you particularly enjoy about the programme?

Linz - Pushing myself to my limit. One of the sessions is where I have to beat my own reps and each time I'd scream at myself thinking how did I get that many previously but I still manages to smash them out and beat myself every time. I'm really competetive so going against myself was a big challenge but beating my previous weeks reps was so satisfying.

3. What makes Adrenalize studios different to other gyms?

Linz - Chelle is so one on one. She supports me inside the studio but also outside, anytime of the day. You would never have that much one on one interaction with a gym unless you were already there. She has literally transformed my body and also my mindset on working out.

4. Did you find the programme challenging, did it hit the right level?

Linz - Challenging yes but for all the right reasons. Each week I knew I had to really push it and better myself if I wanted the results. So even though I'd scream/swear throughout the sessions, I felt so good after!

5. Hardest parts of the training?

Linz - My coordination is terrible so that was always a difficult one! However I'd say the bosu!! That piece of equipment is my enemy but I have a love/hate relationship with it because I know if I use it I'm working the muscles I want defined and so the pain was worth it!

6. How soon did you start to see results?

Linz - Probably within 3 - 4 weeks, not bodywise at first, more so my strength built up so quickly. I'd never been able to lift heavy weights and was actually terrified to lift weights at all because I used to think I'd bulk. That didn't happen. By the 6th week I knew I'd really pushed myself and could really notice the definition coming in.

7. Outcome of plan - inch loss results?

Linz - I've lost nearly three inches off my waist and an inch off my arms and my back is so defined! When I see the pictures, I can't actually believe how far I've come!

8. Why would you recommend Adrenalize bridal bootcamp to other brides?

Linz - If you have a problem area, then I wouldn't hesitate to go to Adrenalize. I've got everything I wanted from this challenge and more. Not only do I have the body I wanted but I'm stronger and fitter and it's also a great stress reliever for when the wedding planning gets a bit much!

Do you have a Fitness buddy? A partner that you love to workout with? There are so many benefits from exercising with a friend - here are my top 10 reasons!!

1 - More Motivation

Working out with a buddy will usually mean you both work harder and will motivate each other through those tough points of a workout.  You can also motivate each other to run faster, lift more or just get to the workout in the first place!

2 - More Fun

One of the key elements to forming a habit is making it fun and an enjoyable experience and one of the easiest ways to make fitness fun is to do it with others - You'll enjoy working out as a pair much more and build lasting relationships as a result!

3 - More competitive

Friendly competitiveness will encourage you to push each other - bring a friend along to my workout studio and before long you'll be pushing each other to perform that extra rep, punch harder or lift heavier - meaning the pair of you will meet your fitness goals quicker.

4 - Learn more

The more you workout, the more you'll discover what works for you, your goals and your enjoyment. Sharing your top tips on exercising, fitness and healthy recipes with friends as you work out, means you'll learn twice as much in a fraction of the time!

5 - Spotting and supporting each other

When you're giving your all, it can be easy to lose track of reps - working out with a buddy eliminates this problem as they can keep count for you... You can also keep an eye on each other's form too if you're working out in a gym without a personal trainer to guide you.

6 - Save money

There are lots of ways to save money by working out with a pal - eg you could save money on fuel by driving to the sessions together and personal training sessions will be cheaper if you're a pair too!

7 - Fewer skipped workouts / accountability

By working out with a friend, you'll be more inclined to stick to your workout programme as you won't want to let your partner in crime down! Why not make a pact at the start of your fitness journey to be accountable to each other - no excuses!

8 - Help to achieve your fitness goals

Why not set  a goal together - Sign up for an event - maybe a Run, Obstacle course race, cycle race or commit to a certain number of workouts or personal training sessions - This will help keep you on track and will give you both a target to strive towards and smash together.

9 - Bring variety to your workouts

Your workout buddy will probably have different skills and knowledge to you - you can benefit from this by the different exercises they have experienced.  Also you can incorporate partner exercises into your workout schedule too! Variety is one of the key components of fun, so you're much more likely to stick to your workouts when things are fresh and interesting.

10 - Celebrate success together!

You can delight in discussing your successes together and celebrate your achievements together - Maybe with a glass of champers - after all you'll have earnt it with your hard work when you've hit your fitness goals!!
