The problem with gyms
"Joining the gym is the easy bit." Everyone feels that rush of nerves when they join. Steve says the hard part is keeping it going, and that's what UR helps you do.
What changed
UR gives Steve a routine, the chance to maintain his fitness and work on the areas he wants, and the technical coaching and support he needs. "Otherwise I wouldn't do it."
He loves his Sunday mornings: stretching he'd never otherwise do, and a laugh with the people he trains with.
His advice
"You'll be nervous. Everybody is. Within minutes you'll be sitting down with one of the trainers, being made welcome, and they'll explain everything to you. And if they're not around, I guarantee you another member will help you."
“What's unique about Unique Results is that it helps you sustain that change.”

Steve: My name is Steve, I'm 57 years old and I've been coming to UR now for just over three years.
Steve: What I most like about Unique Results is probably two things. One, it gives me an opportunity to get into a routine, maintain my fitness, develop the areas I want to work on and get the technical coaching and support that I need. Otherwise I wouldn't do it. And two is the environment. It is unique because of the environment. The people down here just make it special.
Steve: Today's Sunday morning. I love my Sunday mornings because I do stretching, which I'd never do, and I have a laugh with people. I'll probably moan about the stretching, but it makes me feel better.
Steve: Joining UR, or any gym, we all go through that period of thinking, 'Oh God, it's terrible, joining the gym', and your heart rate goes up. But joining the gym is the easy bit. What's unique about Unique Results is that when you come here, it helps you sustain that change.
Steve: When you come here you'll be nervous. Everybody is. You don't know the environment. Within minutes you'll be sitting down with James or Nikki or one of the other trainers, being made welcome, and they'll explain everything to you. And if they're not around, I guarantee you another member will help you, because that's what happened to me, and that's what I see happening every day.
