Rich is the Head of Resourcing for a Housing Association, who joined MH Studio after years of struggling with motivation, confidence, and weight. What he’s found since joining is an environment where progress finally feels achievable and enjoyable.
The Challenge
Before joining MH Studio, Rich felt overweight and uncomfortable in his own clothes. Motivation was low, confidence was lacking, and previous gym attempts hadn’t helped. Training alone felt intimidating, so workouts often defaulted to long treadmill sessions with little structure and very little progress.
Why He Nearly Didn’t Start
Past experiences at traditional gyms had knocked Rich’s confidence. Without guidance or support, he felt unsure of what to do and worried about fitting in, which made it hard to commit to anything long-term.
The Turning Point
Joining MH Studio changed that completely. Instead of feeling isolated, Rich found himself training alongside people who were all on their own journeys, too. While everyone had different goals, the shared environment made progress feel easier and more motivating.
The friendly atmosphere and supportive coaching helped rebuild confidence, turning training into something he could actually enjoy and stick with.
The Results
Since joining MH Studio, Rich has experienced important changes:
Improved motivation and consistency Increased confidence in himself and his training No longer relies on aimless cardio Feels supported by others on the same journey Enjoys training in a friendly, welcoming environment
Here’s what Rich had to say:
“Before joining MH Studio, I struggled with motivation and confidence. I was overweight, everything felt tight, and when I went to the gym before, I’d just end up running on the treadmill for ages and getting nowhere.
Since joining MH, it’s been much easier. Everyone has their own goals, but you’re all on the same journey. It’s a great environment, everybody’s very friendly, and it’s just a great experience.”

If lack of confidence or motivation has held you back in the past, Rich’s story shows what the right environment can do. At MH Studio, you’re supported, guided, and surrounded by people who understand the journey, making progress feel possible, sustainable, and genuinely enjoyable.
