My Life Back in Balance
Always active, gym and sport had been very much part of my life. Now my membership to Westpark fitness took on a new meaning. It became somewhere where I knew I would always see a friendly face, someone with who to share a joke train and laugh with. The physical benefits of exercise, as we all know, help improve morale, self-esteem and self image; all incredibly important for me during a prolonged period of stress. The holistic classes provided the environment where my mind would become calm and tranquil, and eventually, a level of clarity and peace began to surface throughout the months of fog.
What I have come to discover over these last two years is that one cannot separate one's physical, mental and spiritual well-being. An imbalance of any of these components results in disharmony. So, thank you Westpark for providing an excellent environment where I was able to bring my physical, mental and spiritual well-being back into balance. I wouldn't have made it without you and all those people I have met throughout this time.

Me and My Bump
I had planned to carry on exercising through my pregnancy, but I would be going at full steam, upstairs in the Big Gym, not downstairs doing little leg lifts while complaining about heartburn. No, I was going to be one of the elite; except for a small bump, doing lat pulls with my little fingers, belly button exposed like Mel B. Picture my pride lying in tatters as I slowly ascended the stairs to the locker rooms, hoisting my tent-clad figure up to the changing rooms at 6 months pregnant, while my mood headed rapidly for the basement.
After grinding through workouts right up to and far beyond my due date, I finally gave birth to my gorgeous little parasite. Those gentle work-outs almost certainly contributed to my short labor, quick recovery, and my return two weeks later to exercise. And now, with my daughter Sophie’s first birthday approaching, I'm proud to say that, thanks in large part to the brilliant crèche. I managed to lose almost all the weight I gained during my confinement. Hurrah! Thanks WESTPARK FITNESS!
