Katrina joined BCA Fitness around this time last year, looking for a supportive fitness community that could adapt to her needs while helping her achieve her goals.
Living with rheumatoid arthritis, she needed a programme that understood her limitations — without holding her back.
The Challenge
Before joining, Katrina faced the added difficulty of managing her condition alongside trying to get fitter and stronger.
Many fitness environments don’t offer the flexibility or understanding needed, which can make exercise feel intimidating or even unachievable.
Why They Nearly Didn't Start
Like many in a similar position, Katrina may have questioned whether a fitness programme could truly cater to her needs.
Would exercises be adaptable? Would she be able to keep up? Would it actually make a difference?
