Jackie joined Include Fitness because she wanted to feel stronger, fitter, and accountable again.
Consistency had always been the missing piece for her. She knew what she wanted, but staying motivated long term was the challenge. What she found at Include Fitness was an environment that kept her showing up and moving forward.
The Challenge
Jackie’s journey had not been straightforward.
A car accident a couple of years earlier changed everything. She gained a significant amount of weight, lost her fitness, and found herself in a slump. Going from peak fitness as a young adult to almost having to relearn how to walk was both physically and mentally tough.
She was starting again from scratch.
Why She Nearly Didn’t Start
After such a big setback, rebuilding confidence was hard.
Jackie had experienced:
- A major loss of fitness
- Weight gain following injury
- A long recovery process
- Doubts about what she would be capable of again
Starting over can feel overwhelming, especially after being at a high level before.
The Turning Point
What made the difference for Jackie was consistency and community.
Include Fitness provided the structure she needed to keep going. Every session reinforced the habit of turning up, and the support from the coaches and members helped rebuild her belief in herself.
No matter your level, everyone trains together with the same goal of getting better. That sense of shared effort kept Jackie motivated, even on tougher days.
The Results
Since training at Include Fitness, Jackie has achieved incredible progress:
✅ Rebuilt strength and fitness from the ground up
✅ Gained confidence in her physical ability
✅ Progressed faster than she thought possible
✅ Signed up for HYROX, something she never imagined doing again
✅ Returned to Olympic lifting
✅ Gone from feeling at zero to feeling close to her best again
Jackie sums it up perfectly:
“I’ve gone from zero to a hundred just by being here, and that makes everything worthwhile.”
The Power of Community
One of the things Jackie values most is the environment.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced athlete, everyone supports each other. The encouragement, energy, and shared effort create a space where progress feels possible for anyone.
For Jackie, that made all the difference in rebuilding after injury.
