My name is Nick and I'm 48 years old. I was 18 and a half stone when I started my journey 5 months ago.
The reason why I wanted to start coming down to the gym was because I was finding it a struggle and I was getting out of breath getting to the top of my stairway.
Obviously, as life goes by, you always think every year, you're thinking, "Yes I need to go down to the gym." You always find an excuse not to get down here and workout.
I've done nothing really for fitness at all. On the odd occasion I'd go for a walk or maybe take the dog out but apart from that I was a little bit of a couch potato really.
When I first started at the gym I was 18 and a half stone. Now I'm about 14 stone. So I've lost 4 stone in the space of 5 months which is quite an achievement.
I think it was a case of being able to go out walking with the dog and running with the dog and not feel out of breath running up a hill, or in the field walking the dog, or in a park.
I believe that I could have joined a usual gym, there's plenty of them in Northampton. The reason why I joined this particular gym was because I felt that you get the personal touch.
The guys and the trainers are very good and they push you, but in the right areas. I don't believe your normal conventional gym would do that and I thought to myself, If I don't get anybody who's pushing me or keeping me focused or making sure that the exercises that I do have got some form, I didn't believe that I would benefit.
Obviously the results are I've lost a lot of weight and I feel a lot better, I feel a lot healthier, I'm eating better, I'm drinking a lot more water and just generally better in my own well being.
