“I have been a member of Human Form for one year. I joined the gym after working one-on-one with James for several months. It had been hard enough to take the step to work privately, it was truly scary to think about putting myself out there and be surrounded by more new people. I thought I just got lucky with James and his supportive and encouraging approach. I was still very self-conscious about my body, my lack of strength and what I thought I might not be able to do in the gym.
However, I knew that if I wanted to continue to make progress, I needed to focus on building more strength. My fear of judgement in the gym could not have been further from the real experience. The entire Human Form team is so supportive and encouraging and the hands-on, small group setting was exactly what I needed to continue my health journey.
It is hard to be vulnerable, to put yourself in uncomfortable situations and to ask for help. I came to Human Form in a broken state, physically and emotionally. I am a cancer survivor and pre-cancer my life was easy. I worked out regularly, if I wanted to try something new, I just did it. After the ravaging that cancer and its treatment to save my life did to my body, everything was harder. What I did not realize was the role my broken emotional state was playing in my physical health.
Being a member of Human Form has not only changed me physically, but it has also helped me heal emotionally; and while I am proud of the physical progress I have made, I am most grateful for the emotional strength I have gained through this community. Stephen and Michelle have created something incredibly special that is not just a gym, it is a community that will support you in ways you didn’t even know you needed.”
