Be honest, are you still carrying that lockdown weight?
If so, you’re far from alone. In fact, most of the men who reach out to us at JC Fitness are in the same boat: weight crept on during COVID, habits shifted, routines disappeared… and it just never really came off again.
Are you frustrated with yourself?
Do you keep saying, “I just need to get my head back in the game.”
Maybe you feel like it’s too late, or that you’ve let things slide for too long.
Here’s the good news: it’s not too late.
And here’s the truth: you’re not the only one.
Lockdown Changed Everything, And That’s Okay
The last few years threw us all off course. Between working from home, social isolation, stress eating, and the closure of gyms and sports clubs, most men gained weight, not because they were lazy, but because life changed dramatically.
Now that the world has moved on, there’s this weird pressure to “just bounce back.” But it’s not that simple, especially if:
- You feel overwhelmed at the thought of starting again
- You’ve lost confidence in your body and energy
- You keep thinking you “should be back to normal by now”
- You don’t want to walk into a gym feeling like the odd one out
At JC Fitness, we meet men at that exact point, and help them move forward with no shame, no judgment, and no crash diets.
Still Carrying That Lockdown Weight? Let’s Talk About What Works
If you’ve been stuck in your head about it, here’s what we want you to know:
- You don’t need to be perfect, just consistent
- You don’t have to do it alone, we’ve got your back
- You can get results without giving up beer, burgers, or your sanity
Whether you join our outdoor Bootcamps in Stockport and Bolton, or choose online coaching from home, our approach is built for men who’ve tried before, fallen off, and want to try again without feeling like a failure.
We’ve helped blokes lose 3, 4, even 5 stone, not by being perfect, but by sticking with it and finally doing something that works.
You’re Not Too Far Gone, You’re Just Not Starting Alone This Time
If you’ve been thinking:
- “I’ve messed about too long”
- “Everyone else is ahead of me”
- “I need to get fitter before I join something”
Stop.
You don’t need to tick all the boxes first. You just need to start. We don’t care if it’s your first or thirty-first attempt, we’ll meet you where you are.
Because here’s the thing: Still carrying that lockdown weight doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It just means you’re human. And your next chapter starts when you say so.
Not quite ready to reach out?
