From Intimidated to Empowered: Nicola’s Strength Journey at Core Results

Meet Nicola

Nicola Eagle is a 59-year-old retired Trust Accountant from Aldwick who came to Core Results feeling the need to improve her core strength and overall fitness.

The Challenge

Before working with us, Nicola was attending a Reformer Pilates class once a week, but it wasn’t enough.

She wanted to feel stronger and healthier, especially as she’d been reading about the importance of strength training later in life.

Past experiences at traditional gyms left her feeling out of place and unsupported, which knocked her confidence.

Why She Nearly Didn’t Start

Like many of our clients, Nicola was sceptical.

She wasn’t sure if she’d enjoy the sessions or stick with them, especially after finding previous gyms intimidating and lacking in encouragement.

The Turning Point

Once she started with us, Nicola quickly realised it wasn’t like her past experiences.

With the right support and structured programming, she began to feel stronger – and genuinely surprised herself by enjoying the sessions.

The Results

In just a few months since starting her 12-week trial in November 2024, Nicola has achieved:

Improved muscle tone and strength

A noticeable boost in confidence

A consistent and enjoyable fitness routine

Here’s what she had to say:

“What surprised me the most was that whilst I cannot say that I love going to the gym, I do enjoy the sessions and I am impressed that I am still going. The trainers are friendly, encouraging, and take the time to make sure you’re doing each exercise correctly.”
