I started this journey wanting to challenge myself. I ended the journey falling in love with myself. The new me is happier, has healthy eating habits, running is my new found passion and also let’s not forget the new me is pimple free! Get yourself a Frankie in your life and see it change!
Lucy's Story
Frankie is an incredible person and has this amazingly encouraging personality that makes people feel they can achieve anything! I’m already looking forward to training for half marathon #2. Thanks again Frankie, you’re the best!
Ina's Story
For me it was an amazing journey. It wouldn’t have been possible if I had done it on my own and without your motivation and training plan. So for me personally I find it quite interesting what you can make your body do if you’re consistent. I never would have thought that, and I still couldn’t quite believe it when I finally crossed that finish line. A nice side effect of all the training is that my body looks more toned now. I’ll definitely wanna keep up with the running!
Sharda's Story
We had never considered ourselves runners before! So it was highly encouraging. Now I can say yes I’m getting addicted to running and looking forward for my next year full marathon and many more runs with this amazing group.
Aparna's Story
In you, I found the perfect balance of fitness, strength training, all rounded well being , great advice (OMG! Magnesium has changed my life!) and the first coach that allows me to enjoy my G&Ts every once in a while (guilt free!). Your personal strength training really, really helped get rid of my IT band issues and helped me feel ahhhmazzzzing after the half. I felt no crazy pain the day after and can only attribute it to all the sessions we did right before the run. Thanks for making my year - this really did!
Ursula's Story
2018 was the healthiest, fittest year I’ve ever had - I cut down on drinking, cleaned up my eating, focused on getting enough sleep and prioritised fitness for the first time ever. And as a byproduct of that, my head is so much clearer and I feel more content and confident. I can’t thank you enough for being the person who helped me get there!
Kay's Story
This journey has changed my lifestyle and who I am. I have changed my food habits where now I take healthy breakfast every day. I am no longer asleep to work and back zombie, I feel more energetic every day. I am more aware of the body and how important core strength and strengthening the muscles is and will continue to be aware and try to strengthen for a better posture and better movements. I love and am proud to be a part of Pretty Strong Squad!! This journey has made me a better person, stronger and healthier woman who believes that she can take up anything if she has the mind to do it and that is thanks to you!!
Niamh's Story
I felt proud of myself for the first time in a very long time. Frankie made it possible. I definitely see an improvement in my mood and my outlook on things.
Sian's Story
Frankie’s positive outlook and can-do attitude was great motivation and I’ve thoroughly loved the whole process; from running my very first (non-stop!) half marathon, to improving my overall general fitness and to seeing what positive benefits regular exercise and goal setting can have on me mentally.
