Pauline Delaney

I want to give Pauline a big shout out!

A few years ago, Pauline’s daughter, who is a Personal Trainer, encouraged her to give the gym a go.

Pauline will be the first to tell you she’s never really been a “gym person”.

She wasn’t looking to lose weight or completely change her lifestyle. She simply wanted to stay active, keep her bones strong and maintain her balance as she got older.

So she started training a couple of times a week and has kept at it.

That consistency really showed its value when Pauline needed a knee replacement.

After surgery, she spent around eight weeks away from the gym focusing on her recovery and physio before gradually returning to training. Having already been active and building her strength beforehand gave her a great foundation to work from.

Now she’s back training and continuing to do the things she enjoys outside the gym too.

She walks her dog every day, spends plenty of time looking after her grandchildren and wants to keep herself active and capable for the years ahead.

She also enjoys the social side of coming in. Having a chat, seeing familiar faces and being part of the group has become just as important as the exercise itself.

Pauline’s never needed to become someone who loves the gym.

For her, it’s simply a place she comes once or twice a week to look after herself, stay strong and keep doing the things she enjoys.

Well done Pauline. It’s great having you as part of Body Blitzer Community.
