Lianne Harrold

Lianne, 33, tells us why she ditched her gym membership for a life of climbing. Less than two years ago she'd hardly set foot on a climbing wall but now climbing is a massive part of her life and social scene. We ask Lianne how she got into climbing and what she gets out of it.

Susan Wheatcroft - Running

I am a busy working Mum and wife, so running is my ‘me time’, my time to escape from daily life, it has taken over my life – all for the better!

Catherine Hughes - Nordic walking

I used to work as a scientist in pharmaceuticals, but now I prescribe exercise as a medicine.

Charmaine Daley - Zumba

I looked around me and there were women of all shapes, sizes, abilities, ages but each wore a big smile. Finally, I fit in.

Vicki Green - Vertical Fitness

I never anticipated the social, emotional and psychological benefits that pole fitness brought in to my life.

For me, that is what this campaign is all about, trying stuff you never even thought you could do, let alone actually enjoy.

Sarah Horrigan-Fullard and Zoe Blackburn

Running empowers women to prove to themselves how amazing they can be and they love that they get to share that with others.

Eleanor

I really used to hate exercise until I started Aqua Fit with my friend 2 or 3 times a week. After a hard day at work or if I am feeling grumpy it really lifts my mood.

Melanie

I do mainly swimming with a bit of running and cycling too. I love the focus it gives me and doing it with like-minded friends.
