STRONG - CONFIDENT - EUPHORIC

Working with lucinda in fuzz culture club has stood out as the most healing fitness experience I’ve had in my adult life. Their constant kindness and readily available resources when it comes to unlearning unhealthy nutrition, fitness, body image mindset is unmatched - paired with the ability to thoroughly hype you up when you have a success of any kind Lucinda has really helped changed how I show up in daily life. The group chat has been a great resource for bad days, good days, random chats on cool topics, and pet pictures. Going from “I want to start training to be able to lift any dog I see” to sending them several videos of melifting any dogs I have permission to has beenjust one of the many incredible things workingwith lucinda has brought me. Throughout the year I have thrown so many different goals at lucinda in our check-ins. “I want to train more of my back, I want to train for rock climbing, I want to train more calisthenics, to help stabilize my joints, to get into running, to get into rowing, to have stronger grip, etc.” And each time I’m met with nothing less than “Yup, we can absolutely do that mate”

I’ve had a lot of breaks due to travel and illness, but looking back now, I am still SO SO happy and proud of my progress! Not only in strength but i feel like I have a lot more confidence in what I can achieve while managing chronic pain, and i feel a lot more calm rather than anxious when I think about my body and my health. A lot of this is credited to the wonderful community. When I feel like I’m having lulls in my training, it makes such a difference to be able to see and celebrate other people’s journeys, and it helps me stay excited and motivated to keep going!

One of the biggest shifts has been working with Lucinda on my mindset — especially around perfectionism and negative self-talk. My confidence and my relationship with training, food, and wellbeing have massively improved. I’m learning to chase progress without being a dickhead to myself, which has been a huge shift.

I now know a lot of different exercises around the gym that I'm confident in, because the explanations are really good. and it helped to work me up to using barbells for squats and rdls! they are no longer scary to use!

Not only do I feel stronger and more confident but my relationship with food is also improving after an ed at school and a body dysmorphia relapse during/after pregnancy. I didn't expect to find a coach who understands my issues, handles them holistically, sensitively and with some awesome advice. Lucinda is always there when I need them and they are so much more than a personal trainer! FCC has raised the bar I now realise that someone who is a true "Coach" and not just a pt is someone who goes deeper than training, takes the time to get to know you and helps you be a better version of yourself

The workouts have allowed me to progress at the pace right for me, but to also be able to challenge myself with new techniques. My strength and confidence has grown, AND I have a supportive network around me

I can see really good change in my body, strength, and even flexibility and balance. Plus, it fits in with my life, and doing the at home program means I don’t need to brave the gym changing rooms unless I want to. What’s not to love?

I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever stuck with the gym for this long without having a period where I fall off, lose motivation, and stop going. I feel like I’m always moving forward. What I’m most proud of is reconnecting with sport and my physical fitness. I can now see a future for myself in fitness and exercise, something I’d given up on. But now, I feel like the world is at my feet.

This has been key for me in building a sustainable habit of working out - first at home and now in the gym. I’m proud of working out consistently for a year and building up enough strength to use a barbell for the first time! I love having multiple programs available, all scalable and varying in challenges, at an affordable price. I love being able to track my progress and having my workouts ready to go when I step into the gym; all I have to do is get myself there and the rest is taken care of. I also appreciate the info and demo videos Lucinda provides when trying something new in the app!

This has changed my life. Lucinda is a quiet humble role model and trailblazer for us genderqueer folk striving to strengthen our bodies to reflect who we are and live authentically from there. the program is unique and just bloody awesome. the community is precious especially down here in rural Devon where diversity is thin on the ground!. i feel at home at and able to be myself in an unprecedented way and finding out how much i’ve lifted in animal weight equivalents at the end is just joyful and celebratory! thanks Lucinda for all that you are and all that you bring to our community. you are a gem 💕

I’m most proud of being patient and diligent in my rehab and recovery process, building steadily to avoid re-injury, and being grateful for every minute I can now spend running pain free!
