"I was initially sceptical about virtual coaching, but Forget the Gym has nailed it superbly. The videos, tips, and clips kept me motivated and accountable throughout. Despite being 100% online, I never felt disconnected - emails, messages, and videos made sure of that. Mary and her team make it so welcoming, easy to follow, and they are full of valuable insights. It’s an incredible resource for beginners like me."AM
Is this for me?
If you have ever said the following, we hear you :
- I'd be so embarrassed if I saw someone I know when trying to run.
- I attempted couch to 5k app and gave up after a few weeks.
- I was terrible at PE at school, this wouldn't be any different.
- I'm so unfit and overweight - I could never be a runner.
- I'm too old to start running now - I'm crazy to even think that I could!
- What would people think think if they saw my red face out running.
We know how you feel, but we also know how AMAZING you can feel if you give it a go.
If you would LOVE to be able to run around the block and come home not feeling heavy legged and breathless, then YES. This course is perfect for you!
Let's do it"You have changed me completely! I used to be the person that would work late, bring work home and the stress that goes with it! Now work and stress are left at work, and I am always off out for my run after work. I am a different person, and running really is free therapy!" G.
What makes us different
Why does it work?
- For 20 years we have been helping women to start running and actually enjoy it. Coach Mary knows all your excuses, doubts and insecurities about getting out the door and has designed this 4 week course to help you finally get running and actually enjoy it.
- It's not about keeping up with others or counting minutes, its about celebrating YOU doing something you have not done before and showing you how running can help you feel amazing in your head and your body.
- This is so different from a Couch-2-5k course. We don't measure success by how far you have run or how many minutes you have walked for. Success is getting out the door - the magic happens when we are not under pressure to hit time targets.
"I’m so glad I found ForgetTheGym. I never thought I’d be able to run but I was proved wrong. I’ll never look back."
