When you hear the phrase "strength training" what do you envisage?

Lifting weights?
Pushing your body to its limits?
Needing to be strong before you start to do this?

A lot of our members tell us that this is exactly what they imagine "strength training” to be, and that it's very off putting to them!

But actually strength training isn't about heavy lifting - it's actually about having the ability to:

• Get up off the floor
• Carry shopping without your back feeling sore afterwards
• Walk up stairs comfortably
• Feeling steady on your feet and confident in your body

Strength like that comes from developing and building core control, resilience and stability gradually over time - not through pushing your body to extremes! And air resistance training
is perfect for doing just that whatever your age!

At Gymophobics our circuit is the UK’s only trademarked 30 minute workout using air resistance machines which we can adjust to suit your ability, which are safe and easy to use, work all areas of your boy, are low impact, very effective, and perfect for busy ladies short on time who want real results without spending hours in the gym.

And will help you to....

💪Improve muscle tone for better posture

💪Enhance balance and mobility so that you feel safe and in control when moving

💪Build and maintain strong joints and bones to combat osteoporosis.

💪Boost mood and energy levels

Plus you will have personal 1:1 support and encouragement from our highly trained, supportive and friendly Team with no judgement or pressure.

So why not give yourself the gift of BEING STRONGER FOR LONGER that your future self will thank you for by joining Gymophobics. Just drop us a message to find out more.

Love Sara and the team xx

🚧 The A6 in Milford, near Milford Bridge, will be closed from Monday 2 March to Wednesday 4 March, between 7:30am and 4:30pm each day, while we carry out urgent tree safety works.

Following professional assessment, a number of trees growing on and above the rock face behind properties on Makeney Road have been found to pose a risk to nearby homes and to the road below.

Because of where the trees are positioned, the only safe way to remove them is by using a crane positioned in the A6. This means a full road closure is necessary during the hours above.

We know this is a very busy route and this closure will be disruptive. We would not take this step unless it was essential. However, keeping residents, road users and nearby properties safe has to come first.

➡️ The closure will affect the A6 between the King William pub and Milford Play Area. The signed diversion route will be via the A38.

Please allow extra time for your journey, follow the signed diversions and avoid the area during these hours if you can.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while this important safety work is carried out.

Look what happens when you stay focussed - you crush your goals! Simone is doing sooooo well and making steady progress towards her end game. She comes 3 times per week, eats nutritious foods with treats sometimes. It’s all about the balance and staying focussed ❤️

AS MARIA SAYS: “GYMOPHOBICS HAS BEEN BRILLIANT FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH” 💗💪

Exercise has been shown to be a powerful tool in creating positive mental health, reducing anxiety and stress levels, particularly in women.

In fact, research has found that when we engage in regular physical activity we experience significantly less anxiety and depression compared to those who are more sedentary.

So why not use regular exercise as one of your coping tools for the stresses of life?

By joining our ladies only health and wellness community, just 30 minutes exercising on our circuit will help to increase the levels of your “feel good hormones”, such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, making you feel less stressed, happier, more relaxed and improving your overall sense of well-being.

And, physical activity can also help to improve sleep quality, self-esteem, help you through life’s tougher times and provide a distraction from negative thoughts.

Plus you’ll find us a very friendly group (members and Instructors) and we love a good chat and laugh with each other whilst using our gym, which is also so important to positive mental wellbeing.

That’s the mind altering power of exercise! 😀🙌

To find out more about our ladies only gym drop us a message and start your journey to better emotional and physical health with Gymophobics.

Love Sara and the Team x💗

What do I love about owning and running Gymophobics Belper?

It’s a little gym family not just a business.

It’s having a brilliant team of instructors and assistants who make everything happen and genuinely love our members.

It’s meeting some inspirational Belper ladies from all walks of life who join us for all sorts of reasons. Hearing new members say the hardest thing they did when joining us was to walk through the door the very first time.

It’s seeing members who joined when we opened in 2019 or during Covid still enjoying Gymophobics nearly 7 years on.

It’s reading reviews and seeing how much members value what we do.

It’s knowing we truly offer so much more support than many other gyms because our ethos is about being more than just gym.

There are always ups and downs but I’m so proud of my team and always grateful for the support and commitment of our members.

A business is nothing without its people, staff and customers alike, and they will always be my priority.
