Joanna’s 7-Year Snap Fitness Journey in Gordon & St Ives
When Joanna joined Snap Fitness Gordon seven years ago, her goal wasn’t about chasing big weights or records. She simply wanted to make everyday life easier. Tasks like doing the washing up, climbing stairs, or even getting into bed felt difficult.
“I used to take the lift everywhere,” she recalls. “Now I walk faster, walk further, and everything feels less of a struggle.”
One of Joanna’s biggest challenges was learning to stretch more and keep good posture during exercises. But just as important has been the mental side - something the gym has helped her manage. “If I was doing it on my own, I wouldn’t be training. The gym keeps me motivated and moving forward.”
Motivation & Guidance of a Personal Trainer
Her personal trainer, Luke, has been a key part of that progress. “Luke always helps me improve. At first, Martin and I trained together, but once we started individual sessions, it made a huge difference. The training is tailored and the results speak for themselves.”
Joanna’s initial focus was functional strength - walking easier, moving without pain, and maintaining independence. She’s now well beyond those goals. She no longer needs help getting up from the floor, can handle resistance bands that once felt impossible, and presses 40kg on the leg press - something she couldn’t even attempt with no weight at the start.
For Joanna, Snap Fitness has the right atmosphere: respectful members, spacious equipment, and a welcoming feel. Unlike other gyms she tried, it’s never aggressive or intimidating.
Consitency & Accountability
What keeps her consistent is accountability. “Luke expects me to show up, and seeing progress makes me want to keep going.” Her favourite exercise? The lat pull-down is a reminder of how much her strength and mobility have grown.
Joanna’s journey shows how small, steady steps lead to big change. “Training has changed everything. I’m stronger, more mobile, and more confident in everyday life. I never thought I could do this much.”
