What People Say About Us
A Personal Message From Dean Monks
Hello, I'm Dean Monks, and I've been helping women transform their health and fitness. I've worked with hundreds of complete beginners, and I've heard the same struggles over and over again...
Have you ever asked yourself:
Why can't I just stick to something?
Why do I always give up after a few weeks?
Why is it so hard for me when others make it look easy?
Why do I feel so out of place in fitness environments?
Why can't I find something that actually works for me?
If you've nodded along to any of those, I want you to know something important:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
The problem is that most fitness programs aren't designed for beginners. They throw you in with people who've been training for years and expect you to keep up. No wonder you feel intimidated!
That's exactly why I created the Beginners ONLY Challenge. A place where everyone is starting from scratch. Where you're surrounded by women who understand exactly how you feel.
If this sounds like what you've been searching for, I'd love to help you take that first step.

Real stories from real beginners who transformed their lives
Emma
"I joined the gymnasium about three years ago, and it's been an incredible journey.
Before joining, my relationship with food was pretty unhealthy, and I was surviving on maybe one or two meals a day. I mainly did cardio, with running being my go-to, and hardly ever touched weights.
Since joining, the encouragement from the team has been amazing, and it sparked my love for incorporating weights into my workouts. The progress I've made gives me such a buzz! I never thought l'd be doing barbell workouts or lifting the weights I do now.
Initially, it was tough seeing the number on the scales go up, but l'm so much happier with my shape and strength today. I would 100% recommend the gymnasium to anyone.
The team are amazing, they are so encouraging and supportive and l've made so many friends there who are just as supportive. Love my gym family."

"I used to have to sit down to mop the floor, that's if I even attempted it. I couldn't walk to the end of the street as my back and knees hurt so much.
I'm now about 16 weeks in and I'm so much fitter and stronger than I ever dreamed possible.
I used to be quiet and tried to hide in the background if that was ever possible!
My confidence and mental health was at an all time low.
I'd looked at the The gymnasium lots of times and talked myself out of it, thinking...fit people will judge me...l'd look ridiculous...l won't be able do it.
Honestly and I can't stress this enough the team and its members are the most friendly, supportive and encouraging bunch of people I have ever"
