Meg Barrable

Gym member of the month

Sunday 9th Nov Hi all, my half marathon training is underway! Thought I’d share the write up that I received recently from Anytime fitness which I am so proud of! 🌟 Member of the Month: Megan B. 🌟 We’re so excited to celebrate Megan B., our Member of the Month! 💫 Megan joined us back in June 2019, and since then, she’s been a constant source of positivity and determination in our community. Over the years, she’s continued to challenge herself in new ways—most recently by taking up running and Pilates. 🏃‍♀️🧘‍♀️ Her consistency, effort, and mindset have truly paid off. The progress she’s made—both inside and outside the gym—is nothing short of inspiring. From building strength and endurance to gaining confidence and balance, Megan has shown what’s possible when you commit to your goals and trust the process. 🙌 We’ve loved watching her confidence grow, her skills improve, and her energy light up the room every time she walks in. Megan’s journey is a reminder that progress doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built one step, one class, and one workout at a time. Keep pushing, smiling, and inspiring us all, Megan. You’ve earned it! 💪💫 #MemberOfTheMonth #GymFam #CommunityStrong #ProgressNotPerfection #ConfidenceInMotion #Inspiration #PilatesAndRunning #StrongerEveryDay Share

Children’s Hospice Southwest 10km race

Sunday 28th Sep

Hi all, thank you for your donations so far, I really appreciate the support in my running journey! Thought I’d give an update on my running progress so far!

Today I ran the children’s Hospice Southwest 10km race around Barnstaple. The atmosphere at Rock Park and all along the route was so encouraging and supportive. However, one person’s comment “They are only jogging” as I left the park shocked me! Even though this comment initially threw me, It gave me great determination and focus to run to the best of my ability, regardless of how slow I was going-I  hardly walked! 

I believe that everyone’s running journey is different. No matter how fast or slow you go, we have made the commitment to get out there, do something physically challenging and improve our mental health. 

I gained so much confidence today! Through determination, I got my 10km personal best- 1:25! My last personal best was March- 6 months ago! This shows how far I have come!

Running is such a great achievement for me and I am hoping to keep this mindset for my upcoming fundraising and running events in support of Mental Health UK and the amazing work they do! Here is to more training for the London Landmarks Half Marathon next April!
