Kim's story
From illness to feeling good about herself again.
Hey Kim can you tell me your story ?
In the spring of 2024, I found out that I have a rare autoimmune disease. I had a whole year of doing absolutely no physical activity, and it felt like an insurmountable challenge to start again. Before getting sick, I was a relatively active person, and losing that was both frustrating and disappointing. I knew I could never go back to who I was before, but I wanted to get to a place where I felt good about myself again—and that has been one of the greatest gifts.
What was your fitness like before training at Studio Fit U?
I was relatively active before my illness, but after a year of inactivity, I had to completely reset my expectations and ease back into movement.
What challenges or obstacles did you face before starting your journey with us?
My illness causes a lot of nausea and dizziness, which made the idea of going to the gym and lifting weights really intimidating. I had no confidence in my ability to train.
Why did you choose us? What were your initial goals? (Fat loss, muscle gain, rehab, strength, etc.)
I needed a place where I could rebuild my strength and confidence in a way that respected my limitations.
Tell me about your journey so far. What have you enjoyed the most about the process?
One of my biggest surprises was how much I enjoy lifting weights. At first, my trainer was very careful about only giving me what I could handle, and we built on it little by little. Now, I push myself more and more because I enjoy it so much.
How is your relationship with your coach? What role has your coach played in your transformation?
My trainer paid close attention to my illness and how I needed to approach fitness and rehabilitation. That gave me comfort, confidence, and made me feel truly supported.
What results have you achieved so far, and how long did it take?
I’ve regained confidence in myself and my abilities. I feel stronger, and lifting weights has become something I genuinely love.
Beyond training, what other aspects of your life have changed?
Beyond just the physical results, training has given me emotional healing, a sense of community, and an overall feeling of well-being.
What do you think of the team and the facility?
The entire studio makes me feel welcome. Everyone greets me by name, even if I’m not training with them. That meant a lot, especially when I had zero confidence in starting this journey.
Would you recommend someone to join? If so, why?
Absolutely. Studio Fit U has a unique approach—it’s not just about fitness or rehab, but a combination of everything. The programs are tailored to what you need, what you can and cannot do, and it pays off in so many ways beyond just the physical results.
