Lettie is a member at Include Fitness who came in wanting to improve her overall fitness and strength — but without much interest in traditional cardio or structured training.
The Challenge
Before joining, Lettie struggled with consistency and pushing herself when training alone.
Like many people, she found that:
- It was easy to skip the harder parts of workouts
- Cardio felt boring and unappealing
- There wasn’t a clear structure or progression
She wanted to get fitter and stronger — but needed the right environment to make it stick.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Group training can feel intimidating at first, especially if you’re unsure where you stand.
There’s often that underlying worry:
- Will I be able to keep up?
- Is this too advanced for me?
- What if I don’t enjoy it?
These are the same doubts many people have before stepping into a structured programme.
The Turning Point
What changed everything for Lettie was the environment and variety.
The small community feel meant she couldn’t just drift through sessions — she was encouraged to show up fully and give her best.
And unexpectedly… she started enjoying cardio.
The mix of sessions — including:
- Engine workouts
- Functional fitness
- Hyrox-style training
- CrossFit-inspired movements
…kept things fresh, challenging, and actually fun.
The Results
Since joining, Lettie has seen a big shift not just physically, but in how she approaches training:
✅ Improved both fitness and overall strength
✅ Built consistency by no longer skipping the “hard parts”
✅ Developed a genuine enjoyment of cardio
✅ Gained clarity on progression and next steps
✅ Now working towards competition-level skills
Here’s what she had to say:
*“You have to do the things that you'd maybe skip if you were training on your own, which has drastically improved both my fitness and my strength.
I was never really interested in any form of cardio before this… but it’s actually fun.
There’s such an amazing community — everyone’s happy to help and it’s a very friendly atmosphere.”*
What This Means for You
If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, avoid certain parts of training, or feel stuck doing the same things — this is exactly where the right environment makes all the difference.
With the right structure, support, and variety, you don’t just get fitter — you actually start to enjoy the process.
