Gymophobics Sutton Coldfield - South

On GLP1s or weight loss jabs?

You’re losing fat… but are you losing muscle too?

When you’re losing weight, the number on the scales only tells you how much you’ve lost, it doesn’t tell you what you’ve lost.

With GLP1 medications and other weight loss treatments, it’s especially important to look beyond the scales and understand your body composition.

Why is maintaining muscle so important?

Muscle plays a vital role in keeping you strong, active and metabolically healthy. During weight loss, losing too much muscle can affect strength and physical function and may reduce the amount of energy your body burns at rest. That’s why the goal shouldn’t simply be to lose weight, it should be to lose excess body fat while protecting as much muscle as possible.

A Tanita Body Composition Analysis can give you a much clearer picture, including:

✅️Body fat % – are you actually losing fat?
✅️Muscle mass – are you maintaining the muscle you need?
✅️Body water – how is your hydration looking?
✅️Visceral fat – what’s happening around your vital organs?
✅️Basal metabolic rate – how much energy is your body using at rest?
✅️Metabolic age – an insight into how your body composition compares with your actual age.

Weight loss isn’t just about weighing less. It’s about losing the right kind of weight.

Don’t just watch the scales. Know your stats.

Speak to an Instructor to book your Tanita Body Composition Analysis and find out what your weight loss is really made up of.

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend and I’m sure we’re all praying for good weather 🙏

Just a little reminder that we will be closed Bank Holiday Monday so that hopefully we can all enjoy the sun, maybe go out for a walk, or just chill and do Bank Holiday your way!

And don’t forget that there’s loads of free classes with Donna our founder for you to enjoy on your Members App if you’d like to maintain your Gymophobics workouts.

What are your Bank Holiday weekend plans? We’d love to hear and see your pics of your Bank Holiday fun in the comments below ⬇️ ❤️

RIP DOLLY PARTON 💗

Yesterday we said goodbye to a true icon.

Dolly Parton was so much more than a legendary singer and songwriter. She was a woman who built her own path, believed in herself, stayed true to who she was and used her success to lift others up.

Dolly showed generations of women that you can be strong and feminine, determined and compassionate, ambitious and kind. She never stopped believing in herself, even when the odds were against her.

Dolly's message of positivity, resilience and empowerment will live on, inspiring women to believe in themselves and each other.

Today, we celebrate an extraordinary woman who reminded us that you don't have to change who you are to achieve incredible things.

Strong women. Stronger together.

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Your legacy will continue to inspire women everywhere 💗💗

“I joined for the fitness… but I stayed because I found somewhere I truly belong.”

When women first walk through the doors of Gymophobics, they often come looking for a way to get fitter and healthier. What they discover is something much bigger.

⭐️A place where people know your name.

⭐️Where someone notices when you haven’t been in.

⭐️Where there’s always a friendly smile, a laugh between circuits and someone cheering you on.

It’s the encouragement on the days when motivation is low. The friendships that grow along the way. The little victories that everyone celebrates with you.

Because here, you’re never just a membership number. Whatever your age, shape, size or fitness level, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are and supported every step of the way.

And yes, you’ll build strength, improve your fitness and feel healthier. But you may also discover something you didn’t realise you were looking for…..confidence, friendships and a community that makes you actually want to come back. 💗

That’s what makes Gymophobics different from normal gyms.

Come for the workout. Stay for the people. Leave feeling stronger in so many ways.

“2 stone gone… and feeling absolutely amazing!” says Carol.

A HUGE well done to our lovely member Carol who has achieved an incredible 2 stone weight loss since joining our women only gym.

Carol has worked hard, stayed consistent and shown that small steps really can add up to BIG results.
But this isn’t just about the number on the scales… it’s about feeling stronger, healthier, happier and more confident in yourself. 💪

Carol, you should be incredibly proud of yourself — 2 stone GONE for GOOD!

What an achievement!

Could you be our next success story? Come and see why so many women who hate normal gyms love Gymophobics! Love Carrieann and the Team xx
