❤️ LET’S GET BEHIND JACKIE! ❤️

One of our No8 Gym ladies, Jackie, has been absolutely incredible this August.

She stepped right outside her comfort zone and signed up for the Cancer Research UK 100 Squats a Day in August Challenge — that’s 100 squats, every single day! 😳🔥

And she’s not just smashing the squats…

👏 Jackie Thayne has already raised OVER £500! 👏

Cancer is something that touches almost every one of us at some point — whether it’s ourselves, a family member, a friend, a colleague or someone we care about.

So we’d love our little No8 community to give Jackie one final push. ❤️

If you can spare a few pounds, please donate.
If you can’t donate, sharing Jackie’s fundraising page would mean just as much.

Every donation, every share and every bit of encouragement helps.

Jackie is doing the hard bit… 100 squats a day! 😂
Let’s help her make every single one of them count.

Go on Jackie — the whole No8 Gym crew is behind you! 💪❤️

Jacqueline's Giving Page Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m going to be taking on 100 Squats a Day in August help raise money for Cancer Research UK. Please show your support and help fund life-saving cancer research by donating to my page.

🔴⚫ STRONGER SEPTEMBER IS COMING! ⚫🔴

September at No8 Gym is all about 25 little wins and ONE stronger you! 💪

We're launching our STRONGER SEPTEMBER BINGO CHALLENGE — and this one isn't about doing hundreds of reps every day or being the fittest person in the room.

It's about ticking off little challenges throughout the month, having some fun and maybe pushing yourself just a wee bit outside your comfort zone. ❤️

👟 Move more
💪 Get stronger
💧 Build healthy habits
👭 Support your fellow No8 women
😂 Have some fun along the way!

Your 25-square Bingo Card will be ready for you in the gym from 1st September.

And there are levels to aim for…

🥉 1 Line = Bronze
🥈 2 Lines = Silver
🥇 4 Lines = Gold
🏆 FULL HOUSE = NO8 LEGEND

Some squares are physical challenges. Some are about habits. Some are about supporting each other. And a couple might require you to be a wee bit brave! 👀😂

The big question is…

HOW MANY SQUARES CAN YOU COMPLETE?

This isn't about being the fittest woman in the gym.

❤️ It's about doing a little more than YOU did before.

Who is going for FULL HOUSE? 🙋‍♀️🔥

💜 YOU’VE LOST THE WEIGHT… WHAT COMES NEXT?

This is a conversation I think we need to have much more often.

When someone achieves significant weight loss, there’s understandably a huge focus on the number on the scales.

But eventually there comes a point where the question changes.

Instead of…

“How much more can I lose?”

Maybe it becomes…

“How strong can I become?”

That’s exactly why I created STRONG FROM HERE. 📖💪

This isn't another weight-loss book.

In fact, it doesn't really matter how you achieved your weight loss.

Through lifestyle changes, nutritional support, medical support, or a combination of different approaches — you've already travelled that part of the journey.

Strong From Here is about what happens NEXT.

It’s about understanding why strength and muscle matter.

It’s about learning how to fuel and hydrate your body well.

It’s about beginning resistance training safely and confidently.

And perhaps most importantly, it’s about starting to see progress as more than simply a number on the scales.

📖 THE BOOK

Strong From Here gives you the knowledge and practical guidance to begin that next chapter.

But I also wanted to create somewhere women could actually put that knowledge into practice.

So I'm delighted to tell you that I'll soon be launching...

🏋️‍♀️ STRONG FROM HERE — THE 4-WEEK COURSE AT NO8 GYM

A small, supportive programme specifically designed for women who have experienced significant weight loss and are ready to begin building strength and confidence.

You don't need to be fit.

You don't need to know how to lift weights.

And you certainly don't need to walk into No8 already feeling confident.

That's what we're going to work on together.

This isn't a weight-loss challenge.

The goal isn't to make you smaller.

The goal is to help you become stronger. 💜

📣 Full course details and booking information are coming very soon.

Interested?

Drop STRONG in the comments or send me a private message and I'll make sure you're one of the first to hear about it.

You've worked hard to get here.
Now let's get STRONG FROM HERE. 💪💜

Over the last year, I’ve spent a huge amount of time researching what can happen to the body during and after significant weight loss, particularly for people using GLP-1 medication.

And one thing kept coming back to me:

Losing weight is only one part of the journey.

What happens next matters too.

Strength.
Muscle.
Energy.
Confidence.
Feeling capable in your own body again.

That’s what led me to write Strong From Here.

It’s not a diet book.
It’s not about chasing a smaller number.
And it’s definitely not about telling anyone they’ve done something “wrong”.

It’s about understanding that after major weight loss, your body may need a different kind of support — and giving people a practical, realistic way to start rebuilding.

I wanted to create something that helps women move from:

“I’ve lost the weight… now what?”

to:

“I know where to start, I understand what my body needs, and I can build from here.”

The book looks at strength, muscle, movement, recovery, confidence and training after significant weight loss, including specific considerations for people taking GLP-1 medication.

And now, I’m taking the next step with it too.

Strong From Here is becoming a 4-week coached programme at No8 Gym, so women can take the ideas from the book and put them into practice with support, structure and guidance.

I’m really proud of this one.

Not because it’s another book on a shelf.

But because I genuinely think it can help people feel more confident about what comes next.

You’ve lost the weight. Now build what comes next. 💪

The book is available now in paperback and kindle version to download on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HFNLK77S/?coliid=I3HX5NQ7SW0JHQ&colid=10F6ADQKXVUQH&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

📚 Apparently I’m an author now… 😂💜

Still feels slightly strange saying that!

From Here to Strong is my No8 Academy learning guide for women who want to understand their bodies a little better and build strength, confidence and self-belief — without all the fitness-industry nonsense that makes everything sound far more complicated than it needs to be.

This isn’t a book about being perfect.

It’s not about smashing yourself in the gym, living on lettuce or suddenly becoming a completely different person by Monday morning. 🙈

It’s about learning.

💜 Understanding your body
💜 Building strength
💜 Making realistic changes
💜 Growing in confidence
💜 And realising that your starting point is simply that — a starting point.

Whether you’re already part of the No8 family or you’re just beginning to think, “Maybe it’s time I did something for me…” — I wrote this with women like you in mind.

And yes… you can actually buy my book on Amazon! 😳😂
