When Lindsay, 57, first walked through the doors of BCA Fitness here in Cambridge, she was just coming out the other side of an incredibly tough chapter—recovering from cancer. Like many women, she wasn’t a regular gym-goer. Past injuries made fitness feel risky, and big commercial gyms always felt more intimidating than inspiring.
But she was ready for a change. Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.
What she found at BCA wasn’t just a fitness programme—it was a community. A space that felt safe, welcoming, and most importantly, real. Gone were the mirrors, the judgment, and the pressure. In their place? Encouraging personal trainers, down-to-earth members, and a tribe of women who truly lift each other up.
“The other women here are just awesome,” Lindsay says. “It really does feel like a family.”
Since joining, Lindsay has made incredible progress—not only regaining strength and mobility, but rediscovering her confidence and joy for movement. Every session, every small win, and every cheer from a fellow member has pushed her one step further.
Her story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to begin again—and that the right environment can make all the difference.
At BCA Fitness, we’re proud to support women like Lindsay every day. Women who show up, rise up, and inspire us all.
