Emma has been a member at Include Fitness for nearly two and a half years.
Like many mums with young children, she found herself stuck in a rut after having her boys close together. Motivation had disappeared, fitness felt overwhelming, and simply getting herself to the gym became the biggest challenge.
She knew she wanted to feel stronger and healthier again — but getting started felt difficult.
The Challenge
Before joining Include Fitness, Emma struggled with motivation and consistency.
With two small children at home, finding time and energy for herself felt almost impossible. She had reached the point where even the desire to go to the gym had faded.
Like many women postpartum, she also lacked confidence in pushing herself physically and wasn’t sure what her body was capable of anymore.
Why They Nearly Didn't Start
Emma admits she wasn’t really pushing herself before joining.
There’s often a belief that you need to already be “fit enough” before stepping into a gym environment, especially after having children.
But what Emma quickly discovered was that Include Fitness wasn’t about perfection or fitness levels — it was about support, encouragement, and helping people progress at their own pace.
The Turning Point
In her first few weeks, two things immediately stood out to Emma:
The workouts — and the people.
The high-energy sessions, supportive atmosphere, and encouragement from both coaches and members gave her the motivation she had been missing.
For the first time in a long time, she actually wanted to come back.
The coaches helped push her beyond the limits she would have placed on herself, while still supporting her through the postpartum journey and rebuilding confidence in her body.
The Results
Since joining Include Fitness, Emma has achieved:
✅ Increased strength and physical confidence
✅ Improved motivation and consistency
✅ Greater confidence postpartum
✅ A supportive fitness routine that fits around family life
✅ Better understanding of what her body is capable of
✅ Enjoyment from training and challenging herself
✅ A positive and encouraging community around her
Here’s what she had to say:
"I think the feeling of Include is just addictive. You just want to keep coming back."
What This Means for You
If you’ve lost motivation, struggled to get back into fitness after having children, or feel intimidated by starting again, Emma’s story should feel reassuring.
You don’t need to be at a certain level before you begin.
You simply need the right environment, supportive coaching, and a community that helps you believe in yourself again.
At Include Fitness, the focus is on helping real people build strength, confidence, and consistency — no matter where they’re starting from.
