When Odyssey member Helen Kerr signed up for the September Strong Challenge, she had one clear goal in mind: to feel her best for her son’s wedding at the end of the month.
“It was my final push to feel great in my dress!”
Determined to stay consistent, Helen made every workout count. She logged every session in the Odyssey app, making sure each visit was tracked toward her 10-workout target. “I made sure I registered everything I did to make it count towards the challenge.”
A long-standing member of the club, Helen usually gravitates toward classes but likes to mix things up with her own gym programme too. “I usually do classes, but I like a mix, it keeps things interesting and in my control,” she said.
Taking part in the challenge gave her an extra spark of motivation. “Once I’d joined, I was determined to complete it,” she explained. And she did, earning her the top spot as our September Strong Champion!
For Helen, Odyssey is more than just a place to work out. “I’ve been a member for so long, it’s such a friendly club. I’ve made great friends here – everyone’s so nice and welcoming. Sometimes I even just come in for a coffee!”
With her son’s wedding celebrations now behind her, Helen is already looking ahead to her next challenge: preparing for ski season. “I’m skiing a couple of times over the winter, so I want to make sure I’m strong and ready for it.”
Her advice for anyone looking to get back into a routine? “Buddy up – whether it’s with family, friends, other members, or even a fitness coach. Having someone to share it with keeps you accountable and makes it fun.”
