I’m stronger, more flexible, and kinder to myself.

Life felt out of my control - I needed to take it back. I found real support and structure. I’m stronger, more flexible, and kinder to myself. Consistency delivers results.

I am now fitter than I have been in years, and I get a lot of comments from friends about how well I look.

Life was hell—pain stopped me doing what I loved. Small daily sessions changed everything.

I have just taken up riding horses again, even though the experts said that would never happen, and I just bought a new horse with a friend of mine, so we go riding together…I’m loving it. 

Elevate is amazing, and my body loves it... I am now fitter than I have been in years, and I get a lot of comments from friends about how well I look.. My hair grew back, my back is so much better, and it continues to improve. For me it's a commitment to carry on with Pilates everyday, even if it's only for 10mins. Thank you Sarah, I wouldn't be at this place without you… Thank you. 

I never thought I'd ride again, and this was taken in June this year, first time back on my horse, I couldn't believe I was sat on her after all these years.. Look how happy I am

The Vitality Blueprint has brought joy back into moving my body.

From day one, something shifted. I felt different straight away, and that’s absolutely wonderful.”

I’ve been sleeping better, feeling more energised, and my concentration has improved - all without even realising it at first.”

Friends who don’t follow the Vitality Blueprint are all taking meds to limit the impact of perimenopause. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’ve not needed them.

Before this programme, I couldn’t stand without leaning on something and then only for a very short time.

I was in great pain despite having had 3 cortisone injections and physio.

I was convinced my future was housebound. I have far more energy and no longer put off doing things - I just get on with them. I can say yes to things without worrying if I’ll keep up. 

Now, I can look forward to my future with confidence.

The Vitality Blueprint’s short daily sessions and real support changed everything.

After 15 years of big classes I felt worse after each session and wasn’t improving. I was ready to give up. The Vitality Blueprint’s short daily sessions and real support changed everything. I’m stronger, can plank, squat and lunge - and I finally feel I’m doing Pilates correctly.

I thought it might be too good to be true. The free trial helped me take the first step. Now I’m enthusiastic because I see the returns.

I’m much more positive and connected with my body. Strong enough for the life I love - walks in nature, looking after my horse, walking my dog, swimming. I see myself thriving.

I’m so much stronger and have massively improved core and lower body strength.

I have more energy. 

I felt sluggish and had low energy. Now I have more energy and I’m just stronger all over.

I’ve stopped striving for perfection - and it’s made a huge difference. I’m more focused - mentally and physically.

I don’t exercise to lose weight; I exercise to keep my body healthy and keep up with my 8-year-old. I walk daily, run when I feel like it, and add little ‘exercise snacks’ at my desk. I enjoy life - without guilt.

I was constantly chasing the latest fitness trends and diets - then getting injured or fed up. Working with Sarah, I realised I could do what I enjoy and keep it balanced. Short, consistent practices made me feel great - and I came back to the programme after trying the gym again. That says a lot.

I live with generalised anxiety. Most mornings I wake thinking something bad will happen … until I do my routine: journal, meditate, stretch, daily exercise. The anxiety subsides, I feel focused, and I can show up for my day and for my daughter.

I have been genuinely amazed to discover that my ability to walk, garden, do building work. 

I have come to recognise that whilst I have always been pretty active, it is only recently that I have become fit! Getting joint issues seemed to be a consequence of being fit and healthy. So I have been genuinely amazed to discover that my ability to walk, garden, do building work - even climb at Brimham Rocks with my granddaughter! - have all improved exponentially and seem to continue doing so.

I dreaded fitness classes. Sarah’s are different - friendly, welcoming, and empathetic. Enjoyment comes first, and commitment followed. I’ve got a daily routine I can vary with alternative shorter options if time is limited and I can do it whenever I like - what’s not to love? So I can carry on keeping pace with advancing age without compromising on my chosen occupations - and long may it continue!

Working with Sarah has been live-changing.

I’ve learned so much about my body - how it works, supports me, and can heal itself.

After years of frustration with osteopathy, physiotherapy, and chiropractic treatments that didn’t resolve my pain, my pain is now mild, easier to manage and I feel confident I can continue improving.

Discovering how simple, subtle movements can make such a difference has been a true breakthrough.

– Rachel M.

I particularly enjoyed the holistic approach to our wellbeing.

The meditation sessions were very valuable and your expertise shone through and also your understanding of what our bodies need to move and live well, especially in midlife.

I am fearlessly independent and the thought of relying on people or not being mobile in my old age is not something I am willing to accept. 

I’d been intending to put my health first for a while, but life was busy and I kept delaying. A heart wake-up call made me realise I’m not indestructible. I needed something I could truly commit to - that fit my schedule. THE WELL is perfect.

I am fearlessly independent and the thought of relying on people or not being mobile in my old age is not something I am willing to accept. I have watched people grow old and be unhappy, unhealthy and not mobile, but I have also seen how you can grow old gracefully with a smile, enjoying life and moving with ease. I know I need to invest in my body now to ensure I have movement and health for many years to come.

I have done yoga for many years, but now I’m in my 50’s, the benefits of swapping to THE WELL is really strengthening my core and my mind and I am sleeping better.

I had very poor self-image and never really thought about my body or my future in a proactive way.

I had tried other things online, but they always focused on just one strand. I appreciate the support and the common-sense approach I get in THRIVE.

I have been surprised by the fact that I actually want to include as many of these health habits and hacks into my routine as possible.

I have lost a few pounds, my tummy is firming up, and my middle feels stronger and more stable and I am more aware of my physical and mental self somehow.

I feel as if I am slowly getting into some good routines and phasing out some not-so-good habits.

Now I carry my back pack for several miles without my back complaining.

On walks I knew I was operating at my limit - and not being that kind to my body. Now I carry my back pack for several miles without my back complaining. I can walk uphill further. I’m more flexible. Some of my peers tick me off for showing off at stiles. It’s not deliberate (well it wasn’t to begin with).

I can garden without getting a stiff back (the old Sunday evening recipe of a G and T and two ibuprofen no longer needed) and carry heavier things round the garden and I don’t make that ‘oof’ noise when getting out of a chair.

My enjoyment of the countryside is more untrammelled. I appreciate my body working well for me - my body and I feel like partners not boss and reluctant employee.

I feel positive, and edgy. I have a lot of lovely friends - and they increasingly have unlovely illnesses and life challenges to cope with. I count my blessings.
