Trinity Transformation is incredible.
I was awarded Trinity Transformation of the Year on Tuesday, 16th Dec 2025 and wanted to thank the team and leave a review as my experience has been amazing.
I'm over the moon to be awarded this prize. It's been a long journey to get here, but I'm feeling fitter and healthier than I did in my 30s.
I know this is a review for Trinity, but I think learning a bit of my backstory might help you understand how they have supported my transformation.
I've had chronic back pain after a car accident 20 years ago, and although I've been managing it since, through teaching yoga, I've not felt resilient for a long time. It's only in the last 6 months that I feel more myself again.
In 2024, I learnt how to engage my core muscles and felt my back was more stable than it had been in a long while. But I was still putting on the pounds and felt exhausted and weak despite working on my core stability. It was a tough year; my Dad was seriously ill and passed away in December. I was exhausted, comfort eating and couldn't believe how weak my body felt when I was walking my dog or teaching yoga.
At the start of the year, I was still in a bit of a fog but I wanted to get back on top of my health. I knew I needed to make changes when it got to the point when I was as heavy as my husband and could only fit into 2 of my pairs of trousers. I started to get back to doing things that worked in the past, but they weren't working this time. I only lost 2 pounds in 3 months.
I've tried all sorts of weight loss programmes in the past, some had worked well at the time, but I'd never broken my emotional eating habits. The more I ate, the more stressed I felt, the more stress I felt, the more I ate. For anyone who's never experienced this, it's hard to understand. Why would you eat more when eating makes you feel rubbish? It's strange but true for so many people, it's not about the food, it's much more complex.
So, as my 51st birthday was looming in April, I started looking for a programme that would work for me. I wanted external support and accountability. I thought I knew what I needed to do, but it turns out I had lots to learn.
I knew I needed to make a massive mindset shift around food and exercise. But with chronic back pain, I'd tried working out more intensely and paid the consequences. I was doing well with yoga and simple core exercises, but I was anxious about doing anything more strenuous. I'd heard so much about how women of my age need to do strength training. It really didn't appeal; images came to mind of unnatural-looking bodies and fitness fanatics.
That's when I saw an advert for Trintiy Transformation, the bit that got me hooked was opening a wardrobe with lovely clothes in it that you couldn't fit into or felt too uncomfortable to wear.
I booked a free consultation call to find out more. I was reassured that the programme would work for someone with chronic pain. Having a coach to check in with on fitness, nutrition and mindset targets sounded perfect.
Trinity Transformation helped me to start really slowly, learning movements without any weights to begin with, then building up to 1 kg. I can now deadlift 10 kg, which is an amazing achievement for me.
Knowing how to recruit my deep core muscles meant that I was managing the exercises fine. I'd feel sore, but I knew the exercises were safe, and that I wasn't doing any damage; I was challenging my body at the right level.
The first 2 weeks reset was tough over the Easter weekend - no chocolate! But I was on annual leave and could focus on buying and prepping food. I felt great after the reset, and by cutting out sugar and upping my protein and fats, I didn't have cravings.
I've enjoyed how the programme builds with educational videos, food logging, and workouts that are easy to follow, along with a weekly check-in with my coach. I started to see great progress.
It's not been straightforward, with chronic pain, I do get flare-ups now and again (that weren't triggered by the workouts), these are a natural part of living with long-term pain. I've been able to scale back at times and modify the workouts so I could keep going.
In the summer, I joined an over-50s surf school, and now have the strength to push myself up into a back bend and jump up to my feet. I'd never imagined my back or arms being able to do this.
I have had huge mindset shifts and feel like I want to make healthy choices rather than that I'm depriving myself.
Over the last 9 months, I've gone from clinically obese to being in a normal BMI range. I've lost 2 stone, dropped 2 dress sizes and can fit into my clothes again. But it's not just about the physical changes; both my body and mind feel stronger. I'm more confident and feel much more myself.
The Trinity team have supported me all the way with these transformations. I am so proud of all I've achieved. I'd highly recommend booking a discovery call to find out more.
