Success Stories

“I joined Fit4life in 2014 after it was recommended by a family member who raved about the classes. I had ignored my weight and increasing size for years, but after seeing a very unflattering picture of myself I decided that enough was enough. The food plan was really easy to follow and by sticking to it, and increasing my exercise, I lost 4 stone in just over 7 months and dropped from a size 16 to a size 8!

I absolutely love the variety of exercise classes that Fit4life offer and the support that you get there from everyone is amazing!

“I’ve been obese all of my late teens and adult life. I hit rock bottom in June 2015 when I had gone up into the next dress size 30/32. After my husband finding fit4life and encouraged me to go to class. I’m now in size 24. lost 5 stone 5lb. Never ever thought that I would be able to join in the exercise class, but I love them.

My journey is no where near finished and I have a hard journey ahead of me, but I know with the support from Heidi, the members and her team that I will defeat my goals , one at a time”.

My journey with Fit4life started approximately two years ago “ Come and try this class my wife Lesley said, So along I went and had one of the hardest and most fun workouts I’ve done in a long while. Fast forward to 2021 I cannot fully express what Heidi and Fit4life has done for me. Shortly after starting I joined the weight management programme; I am now two and a half stone lighter (That means I am slimmer and lighter than I have been in the last 20 years!! That not to mention the massive positive impact it’s had on my blood pressure With Heidi at the helm the Fit4Life family have become friends with a massive support group I am doing approx. two classes a week ranging from Clubbercise (honestly if doesn’t matter if you have two left feet or can work out) your right from left it’s a great workout) to Totally Shredded.

The support from the group means anyone can and does try new things and can push? Smash out of there comfort zones. We are not restricted to just classes there are numerous external events Fitness festival/ Nuclear races to name a few that you will always find someone in the group to have a go with you. Well, that’s enough from me, have a look at the pictures to see the results or best of all pop down and join in for a class and find out for yourself. Have Fun Mark

I joined Heidi back in 2012 when it was RC diet and fitness. I lost a stone quite quickly with the help and support of the lovely Heidi. Once Heidi formed her own business (Fit4life) it soon became part of my family life and feel very supported by Heidi and all members. I have made so many new friends and enjoy classes with them all. This has been the only slimming and fitness group I have ever stuck at.

It is the whole package. Emotional support as well as nutrition and exercise. After losing my mum in 2012 I comforted myself with food – I continued with classes and this really helped. Whether you want to just exercise the classes are for all ages shapes and sizes and are adapted to your own level of fitness. If you want support with nutrition, Heidi is your lady too!

Following the loss of my Dad and then the dreaded pandemic, my weight crept up again. Following a new way of eating I managed to lose just under 2 and a half stone in 6 months! I feel so much healthier, fitter and generally more smiley.

Fit4life saved my Life! Literally

The first time I attended Heidi Button ‘s exercise class I thought I was going die – (when I was younger I attended many different kinds of exercise but had become a bit of a couch potato ) I ended that first class gasping for breath and a face like beetroot but as Heidi caters for all level of fitness I continued to come back for more.

With Heidi’s support and non- judgmental encouragement I went on to lose nearly 5 stone . Unfortunately I became ill , now firmly on the way to recovery I was told by a medical professional that if I hadn’t had lost the weight I might have died !

Having tried all the more well-known weight loss groups , I have never stuck with one as I have with Fit4life, we call ourselves a family. I have lost weight, improved my fitness level but I also value the friends gained and the feeling of belonging to something special
Thank you Heidi Button

I joined fit4life in September 2019 in order to find something to keep myself fit having moved to a new area. I found all of the members extremely welcoming and friendly. The classes are ideal for keeping fit, as they are both enjoyable and challenging. Heidi offers different versions of certain exercises in order to accommodate everyone regardless of their level of fitness and/or injuries.

During lockdown Heidi adapted her business and moved the classes online. I found this ideal during a tough period, I was able to keep my fitness levels up and also partake in more classes as I was unable to continue with other sports activities, during the harsher lockdown periods. These classes gave me something to focus on and provide some routine, despite lockdown. I would highly recommend anyone to join who wants to improve their fitness and have fun.

I have been overweight since my early 20’s. i have tried all kind of diets and exercise over the years without much success couldn’t seem to stick to anything. Then in March/April 2017 a friend suggested I try fit4life classes. I had plans to travel for a few months in Jan 18 so I decided to give it a go. Started off with 2 classes a week with I really enjoyed so after a holiday in May decided to increase classes to 6 a week and in July embarked on a 5 week challenge nutrition plan and lost 13 pounds which really spurred me on so decided to add nutrition plan lost a further 19 pounds by end November and I ended up being awarded fit4life slimmer of the year 2017 which was a complete shock but an amazing feeling have gone from size 20/22 to a size 14/16 now feel so much better about myself .has been hard work and definitely had my ups and downs the support from Heidi and her team is amazing couldn’t have done it without them . Everyone was so welcoming and friendly would highly recommend fit4life to anyone. I will be back with fit4life after my travels I know with the support from the fit4life family I can achieve my goal.

“Back in July 2012 I decided it was time to try a different approach to losing weight, I had a 4 month old son and wanted to get myself in better shape. I started classes and the weight started to come off well, I was losing 1-2 lb a week which I was happy with, I was following the nutrition plan, I even lost 1lb on a 2 week holiday after only being a class for a few weeks. My weight continued to come off and I lost my first stone in the November… I was so pleased, Christmas came and went and I was still doing well and it wasn’t long until I lost 1.5 stone… Then things started to change, snacks started to creep back in so by the time I went to America for my sons first birthday, I was just over a stone loss and when I came back from my holiday I was back at only losing a stone… I really couldn’t get my head back into the diet so my weight didn’t really change.

I decided to stop going to classes but by the third week of doing it myself I was on the phone to Heidi asking to come back. I Was back at class on the Monday night and was back into the swing of things, at weigh in I was only 12lb from my original weight I was so disappointed that I’d let it all unravel. This for me is what changed the weight loss, by September I hit my 2 stone and November I received my 3 stone. I was so much happier, I loved coming to classes and by Christmas I was doing 4 classes a week. After Xmas I lost my Xmas weight quickly but as with any one you have up and down times and my weight stayed pretty steady until I got to September and decided enough was enough and stripped it all back to basics and lost 7lbs in two weeks getting me to my goal weight.

Throughout it all my meals were good, i reduced portions and even used a smaller plate, my problem was and will always be chocolate and snacking, but I proved to myself in the last two weeks that if you do it right it works and cutting it out was what I needed. I tried hard with my fluid intake and my good weeks on the scales were always the weeks I had stuck to my 2 litres of squash.

I had my demons with the scales at home and whenever I started using them my weight loss would stop and my mood would go down, I generally didn’t use them but If I did I knew I had to get my head back in the game and stop torturing myself. I’m now 4 stone lighter, 4 dress sizes smaller and I have lost 64 inches, have a fabulous group of friends and love my exercise classes. The best part is I’ve lost the weight and also gained a new career as in Instructor for Fit4Life.”

2014 I joined fit4life through a dear friend. Never did I think I would lose 3 stone but I did , that was with the support of Heidi Button and all that attended classes Never did I feel out of place it’s a group of all shapes and sizes all ages to . It was the best I’d felt in years. I then fell off the wagon so to speak unhappy relationship, and gave up on myself. On went two stone. Then lockdown got us and online classes started.

I joined this again through a dear friend and wow it made me feel human again and I lost a stone and it was me time, and was making me happy again, as the world got back to normal classes outside again and seeing everyone face to face has kept me going. If you want some you time, weight loss, exercise and a good old giggle added to it all then come join. Thankyou fit4life and all who attend
