There were other issues too. I found a gym that initially sounded very off putting because it seemed to be for serious weight lifters but is actually very inclusive. My new PT (7 sessions so far) is a bodybuilder and is the loveliest bloke you could ever meet. He’s not phased by my age, or my new hip (not so new now) but pushes me just the right amount. I’m developing muscles! And a core! It’s amazing.

She also used my image without asking me (more than once) which I only saw by accident. I became increasingly uncomfortable going there so I made my excuses and left (so to speak)!
