Helen Lanceley is a 63-year-old woman from the local area who came to Mee-Fit feeling stuck, uncomfortable, and worn out by everyday life. She was struggling with mobility, low energy, and constant pain — and simply wanted to feel better in her own body again.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Helen was struggling with even the most ordinary tasks.
Walking hurt. Getting around was difficult. She felt miserable in herself, had no energy, and relied on daily painkillers just to keep going.
She’d spent a long time feeling “gym phobic”, convinced that everyone would be younger, fitter, and watching her struggle. That fear alone had held her back for years.
Why They Nearly Didn't Start
Like many people in her position, Helen was sceptical.
She wasn’t sure if she would fit in, if she could keep up, or whether the gym environment would make her feel out of place again. After past attempts, she doubted whether anything would actually work for her.
The Turning Point
Within her first sessions at Mee-Fit, Helen realised everything she expected was completely wrong.
The environment was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely supportive.
With the right coaching and structure behind her, she began to build confidence, move more freely, and take control of her routine. What once felt like a “culture shock” quickly became something she looked forward to each week.
The Results
In just six weeks, Helen achieved:
✅ Lost 12 lb in weight
✅ Went from daily painkillers to none at all
✅ Improved knee mobility — now able to kneel and get onto the floor
✅ Increased energy and confidence
✅ Built a consistent exercise routine she can maintain
✅ Felt fully supported with nutrition guidance
Here’s what she had to say:
“It’s just changed my life. I don’t feel out of place — everyone speaks, everyone helps you. I’m moving better, I’m off painkillers, and I feel so much better in myself. I actually make room in my life for the gym now.”
