Review Time
As an older woman, I understood the significance of strength training for healthy aging, but after previous experiences at gyms, I was hesitant about joining another fitness club—how mistaken I was! The environment here is incredibly supportive and welcoming. It’s not focused on appearances; instead, it offers a comprehensive approach that includes body workouts, nutrition, mental wellness, and the joy of connecting with a wonderful group of women!
WAFA changed my life. Not only is it a fantastic community of bold, eclectic women; the coaches and strength conditioning programme are an absolute tonic. Having now been a member since 2021, I can’t recommend WAFA enough to any woman who wants to get stronger, fitter and be supported by a likeminded women.
Having reached 50 without doing ANY form of exercise since school, I knew I had to start. I'd read tons about strength training and how important it is for women but I had no idea how to go about actually doing it. The thought of the gym filled me with anxiety and although I knew I could go on YouTube and follow thousands of videos, due to my complete inexperience, how would I know if was doing it correctly and therefore, be achieving very little or even worse, cause an injury. What I needed was something in between the two which I didn't believe existed. I found We Are Fit Attitude in the late autumn of 2024 after reading an article in the Guardian and started training 3 mornings a week. The effect this has had on my body has been completely transformative. I don't have huge muscles - it's not about that - but activities like gardening and going for long walks are just so much easier now. I have tons more energy and I don't get worn out like I used to. The best thing is knowing that I'm doing something so positive for my body and that strength training will keep me active, flexible and strong into old age. The classes are varied week to week, there's a time to suit everyone and the support and sense of community is amazing. Whatever you need whether it's advice or support on progression, nutrition, mindset, diet, it's all there. I am SO glad I found WAFA, I genuinely can't imagine my life without it now.
I’ve been coming to these fitness classes for over a year and they’ve made a really positive difference in my life. I feel stronger, fitter and more motivated. The classes are always well planned, challenging and fun. I genuinely look forward to them each week. Thanks WAFA for creating such a supportive and encouraging environment ❤️
I joined during the pandemic in 2021 and, like many women, have had trouble sticking to programmes. But WAFA has found the formula - great coaching, realistic aims, personal support and plenty of choice of online, in-person and recorded classes and a supportive group of women. There is also alot of other support available via the club website - nutrition, coaching, and social events.
Joining WAFA 2.5 years ago has been one of the best things I’ve done. I’m 66 and I’ve never been a fan of exercise classes, so the online format is perfect for me. I can join in from my kitchen - no excuses! There is always lots of encouragement and support from all the trainers and from other members. Thank you Anna !
WAFA Rocks! I joined WAFA just over a year ago having approached gyms local to me which had the wrong attitude! Neither seemed to want to help a woman in her 60’s! From my initial phone call I was made to feel welcome, given encouragement and knew that this was the right place to be. I love everything about it. The coaches are super supportive, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and obviously keen to help members progress. I enjoy early morning classes on line as they set me up for the day. I feel stronger both physically and mentally. Following injuries, I was given exercises by my coach adapted to fit in with those recommended by my physio. There’s also been food for thought, quite literally, with nutrition sessions and the mindset sessions have made me reconsider so many things. The community is inclusive and empowering which is so important. Anna and her team are special women and I now cannot imagine being part of this ‘family’.
I'm someone who really struggles with consistency and I've never managed to stick to an exercise plan in my life. At 52 I was starting to feel a downhill slide set in. Then I saw WAFA mentioned in a Guardian article and checked it out. Then I was speaking to Anna, the founder, and signing myself up to a 6 week trial. A year later and I do 3 classes each week at 6.15am, and I'm so much fitter and healthier than I was before. I wasn't particularly looking to lose weight and I'm not sure that I have, but I'm definitely more defined and just so much more comfortable within my own body. I also think that the exercises are really well chosen to build the core stability, flexibility and muscles that I need at this stage in my life. It's not cheap, but the personal attention and interactions that I get are what keep me motivated. As I said to my husband: in my 50s I'm not sure if there is anything more worth investing in than my present and future health. Also it's actually quite fun, which is a very odd thing for me to say about exercise (although I do sometimes curse the team under my breath while navigating a move that I find particularly challenging).
I became a member over a year ago at the age of 74, and it has truly been one of the best choices I've ever made; it has transformed my life. For the past year, I've committed to three online Strength and Sweat classes weekly and have seldom missed a session. The personal support from the fantastic staff has been remarkable, treating me as an individual while integrating me into the wonderful community of women. Each session begins with a personal greeting from the coach, fostering a warm atmosphere and ongoing encouragement. After a year, I can genuinely say I'm stronger and more resilient than ever; I feel confident, stand taller, and feel significantly younger. I encourage you to make the leap and join this incredible group of women; it will be a decision you won't regret. My heartfelt thanks to the team for genuinely changing my life.
Joining WAFA two years ago has been one of the best decisions I've made! It provides excellent structure to my week, and I strive to never miss it. Living close to the venue allows me to attend in-person classes. I initially aimed to improve my bone strength and recover from a shoulder injury, but I've gained so much more. The unexpected joy has been the fantastic sense of fun and community! The members are supportive and engaging, and the coaches are wonderful. The additional resources, including mindset workshops, nutrition advice, and social events, are also fantastic. This experience is vastly different from a gym; WAFA is much more than just a fitness program.
