I’ve been training at Steel Extreme Fitness (SEF) for nearly two years. Initially, I sought out Lorenza after gaining weight during the pandemic and feeling unsure about navigating peri-menopause. I never imagined I’d love lifting weights—I didn’t even know what a barbell was! Now, I’m deadlifting 85 kilograms and training three times a week.

Lorenza’s tailored training and nutrition have helped me lose 10kg, and drop a dress size. She have helped me regain my strength, posture, and balance.

Beyond the physical changes, the biggest improvement has been in my mental well-being. Lifting weights has boosted my confidence and reduced my anxieties, which has positively impacted my personal and professional life. Learning to prioritise myself is new, but strength training has shown me just how much I can achieve. I’ve found a supportive, nurturing environment at SEF, and I can’t imagine life without training now.
