It&#8217;s great to see the dedication and hard work at the sessions have paid off for Anna and an inspiration she&#8217;s provided to members &amp; non-members alike.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve taken the opportunity to catch up with Anna and asked her a few questions.<br \/>\nCheck out Anna&#8217;s One Element experience as a member below and if it inspires you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/one-element\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch<\/a> with us for more information on how you can help and inspire others such as Anna as part of a personally and financially rewarding brand.<\/p>\n<h4>Before you joined One Element, what exercise did you do?<\/h4>\n<p>It has been pretty non-existent in the last few years! Just the walk to and from train stations on the way to work, about 50 mins a day at best. I was feeling pretty sluggish.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have not been to one, how do you describe the One Element session? <\/h4>\n<p>Challenging but fun! They&#8217;re not easy &#8211; there&#8217;d be no point in that. But the trainers and the group are so friendly and getting stronger and running further\/managing that extra press up every few weeks is so satisfying. We all have a laugh together no matter how wet and muddy we all are.<\/p>\n<h4>What have been the benefits of joining One Element? <\/h4>\n<p>I am feeling much stronger and fitter! Slimmer and more toned, but I didn&#8217;t realise what a great stress reliever it would be as well &#8211; no matter how tough a day I&#8217;ve had, running around in the fresh air always clears my mind.<\/p>\n<h4>Have you made any changes to your diet since joining One Element? <\/h4>\n<p>Not really, I&#8217;ve been following the principles of Slimming World for a long time now. Lots of home cooked food and a lot less junk and booze! By adding in One Element has made the difference I was looking for.<\/p>\n<h4>How do you like training outdoors? <\/h4>\n<p>Well, summer was nicer than winter! But actually, there&#8217;s a strange sense of wellbeing about doing sit ups in the mud in the dark. It certainly gives you bragging rights and is less sweaty than a gym. So yes, I do. Working in an office all day it&#8217;s so nice to get outside and have a run around.<\/p>\n<h4>How have you found outdoor and group training has affected your mental well-being? <\/h4>\n<p>It has definitely been a positive, it&#8217;s great stress relief, and I always feel very relaxed after a session no matter how exhausted I feel. I&#8217;ve never regretted going to a session.<\/p>\n<h4>Do you have any tips?<\/h4>\n<p>Just do it! I procrastinated for ages about joining, thinking everyone would be fitness machines and I&#8217;d be last at everything. Ultimately I didn&#8217;t want to join a gym and PTs were too expensive and this looked a lot friendlier than military style fitness!  There are newbies at lots of sessions and everyone was new once, and you won&#8217;t be new for long. You can go at your own pace and everyone will cheer you on. I&#8217;ve made good friends at OE so there&#8217;s nothing to lose really!<\/p>\n<h4>Do you find One Element value for money? <\/h4>\n<p>Absolutely, considering the cost of either F45 or a personal trainer it&#8217;s exceptional. As long as you show up of course!<\/p>\n<h4>Would you recommend One Element?<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already recommended you! One friend joined for a while but it was a little too far away. I have people ready to join if you start in Brockwell Park and Brook Green!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a cold December day, we received the picture of two pairs of jeans with this message &#8220;I&#8217;ve been meaning to share this&#8230; the result of 6.5 months of OE training!
