  • Improved endurance
  • Faster recovery
  • Increased day to day energy levels

​These changes have helped him stay motivated and focused as he continues working toward his goals.

Advice for Others Starting Fresh This New Year

Tom’s advice is simple and encouraging: “Start small, stay consistent, and choose one of the many sports available that’s genuinely you”. He also encourages anyone new to fitness to step outside their comfort zone and seek support “Don’t be afraid to consider joining fitness groups who can support you, such as SwimFit or Group Fitness Classes”.

Looking Ahead

With dedication, consistency, and a strong support network, Tom is well on his way to achieving his goals. His journey is a great reminder that progress takes time and that every session counts.
