Gina - My story
It's hard to believe that the first picture was me! Every time I see it I pinch myself.
Since that picture was taken I have lost 4 and half stone, so I know from first hand experience what it's like to be unhappy with your weight and the way you look.
It takes hard work and dedication but you can do it!
I set up UKGetActive back in 2009 because I wanted others to experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. When I was overweight it affected my whole well-being. I felt demotivated, sluggish, tired and depressed. Now I am energetic, happy and confident and I want to help you feel the same!
My classes are welcoming, friendly, fun, motivational and for everyone.
When Gemma joined me after the first lockdown, we made it our mission to reach out to as many people as we could from all over the world. We wanted to make our classes inclusive, we didn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't do it because of mobility issues, physical challenges and injuries. We now have worldwide clients who are feeling the benefits a healthy and positive lifestyle can bring. Anyone can do it!
Come and join us now and feel the difference you can make to your life!

Gemma - My story
Do you ever look in the mirror and think “where did this extra weight come from”?
Do you stand on the scales and wonder when that extra half stone crept on?
Trust me, I’ve been there! In my 20s my weight ballooned and at my heaviest I was 16.5stone (18st + when I was pregnant!) & I accepted that that was just how I was, until 6 years ago when I looked in the mirror and decided I had had enough and things had to change.
My mindset altered, I counted calories, reduced portion sizes, I realized how much I was actually eating – biscuits had to go and I needed to move more. I started off with gentle exercise with more walking and an exercise bike. But I had to keep challenging myself, so after completing the couch 2 5k, I started Gina’s GetHiitPilates sessions, I found it hard but loved it, I was hooked.
I would have never predicted that walking into Gina's class a year ago would get me to the point I am at now - exercising 6 days a week, running half marathons and with a 6 pack in progress and doing a job I absolutely adore. I want to help others achieve what I have achieved, see their potential and guide them in leading a healthy lifestyle without following a strict diet plan.
I am absolutely loving seeing the continuous improvement in my abilities, strength and health. My mental health is a million times better now than before I started making these changes. I have so much more energy and a zest for life. I love the fact I have achieved the weight loss and change in physique without stepping in to a gym and without any fad diets - it has to be sustainable to keep the changes long term!
Find a class that grabs your attention, try a new class that challenges you, do an extra class instead of watching an episode on Netflix, push yourself (but don’t injure yourself!), don’t ever doubt your abilities – if you put in the work, you will get results! Do this for you and enjoy the rewards!
