Success Stories | Reviews & Testimonials | Alba Military Fitness
 |  This time last year I was constantly unwell, demotivated, and really unfit. I couldn't do one sit up or press up let alone run any distance. One year ago today I joined alba. I remember walking into join and thinking 'what am I doing' ? One hour later I was hooked, even though I knew nobody and hadn't a clue what any the exercises were. With the help of all the instructors and the motivation the troopers give one another I quickly found my feet and found something for ME, ALBA has given me strength, motivation, determination, a level of fitness I always dreamed of as well as helping me lose and keep off 5 stones in weight. Cliche I know but ALBA gave me back my life in more ways than one! Thank you to everyone Posted By: Nicola Widhaw |
 | "From Fusion Fight Club we would just like to say a big thank you to Cammy and his team of helpers. They were out early doors getting organised for our clubs overnite. They had an absolutely brilliant time. Team building with a difference. We have a club of great young people who threw themselves into every aspect of the night. In the morning after virtually no sleep and exhaustion had set in they still managed an assault course and ladder and rope climb and stretcher run round strathy. They were definitely pushed to their limits and rose to the challenge. Id recommend Alba Military Fitness to any individual, team or club. Team building, building confidence and self esteem and being able to work as a team as well as an individual were all the competences our kids were tested on and displayed superbly. Thank u Alba....see u all again soon...from Fusion Fight Club , Team Geeezit x" Posted By: Melissa Fraser |
| Today is my Alba birthday! I took my first session one year ago today and I'm so glad I did. I can honestly say this is the first 'fitness class' I have stuck to in a very long time. Like many people on here I'd joined the gym and taken the classes but they pale in comparison to Alba. Alba is different - it's fun, it's full-on and it's kind of addictive and that's all down to the instructors who are the most encouraging and motivational people, the other troopers who are always smiling and always there to support each other and the actual content of the sessions as every one is different, it keeps you on your toes... literally! There is a place for everyone at Alba so give it a go, you might just enjoy yourself... Posted By: Carol Sanderson East Kilbride |
 | In 2010 and 2011 I trained for the Great Scottish run - half marathon running 3 times weekly, both years I had to pull out due to injury weeks before the race. After I had rested and not done any excersise for 6 months I joined Alba at East Kilbride in Jan 2012. I worked up the ranks from red, amber and green but more importantly for me attending 3 classes a week of a total mixed bag of exercise has allowed me to complete 2 half marathons and I am currently training for my 3rd. Because of the all round fitness I have gained at Alba I only have to complete one run a week to be able to acheive my goals. I have a military background and Alba have got the mix spot on of bringing both civilians and (ex)military together. The instructors use approriate banter and you never feel that you are being singled out. They are also the most encoraging bunch you will ever meet - fact!! I appreciate this style of fitness would not be for everyone but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by at least affording yourself a trial. I have yet to find any one class that is the same. Thanks Alba Posted By: Ally Sanderson East Kilbride |
 | I started Alba over a year ago after repeatedly attempting exercise classes and Gyms but packing them in after a few weeks or months. Alba provides something completely different, not only have I not packed it in but it is addictive and I am now exercising more than I ever have in my life. It is hard to say what one thing makes it so different...the great instructors....exercising outdoors in all weathers....a different class every time (always expect the unexpected) or the support from the other "troopers”, whatever it is it is unique and works! It’s not just about the fitness though as it is such a supportive social group from the instructors to the other troopers with lots of events and social nights. I couldn’t imagine my week now without ALBA in it :) Posted By: Trudi Wishaw |
 | I have been going to Alba for 3 years and from my 1st session with the Red troops I have never looked back. I have never felt better in my life from doing its a knock out, Spartans Race to out tabbing with the troops great times, All the troops and instructors make Alba a great fun way to get and keep fit. Then you have the social side of things I have made so many new friend and when we get together at the social nights out what a laugh ... 3 Years and going strong Alan R Green Troop :-) "Remember Pain is weakness leaving the Body" Posted By: Alan Russell Wishaw |
 | I joined Alba to get out and meet new people and do something different to dance classes and the gym and was overwhelmed with the whole ethos, so many fun people encouraging each other, outdoors in all elements but that doesn't seem to bother anyone, and now I couldn't be without it. It has been my saving grace through a bereavement and exercise is a great medicine but it's the people who genuinely care for each other, best thing I've done in a while. I would encourage anybody who is looking to get fit and meet a great bunch of people to give it a go, be warned, it's addictive. Posted By: Jo Stafford East Kilbride |
 | I joined alba almost two years ago and it has been the most amazing experience. I have done things I would never have dreamed of at my age (55). Climbed tinto done a 5k obstacle race and attended a weekend ladies bootcamp. Not only am I fitter I have se amazing new friends both in the other troopers and our wonderful instructors. We are one big family at alba. Next month I am one of over 100 taking part in race for life in support of one of our troopers Posted By: Isabel Fallan Motherwell |
 | There's just so much to say about ALBA.. Well I trained with the best troops ever for almost 3 years and made some very good friends. The motivation and encouragement you get from the instructors is first class, no gym can compare to the time and effort they put into to helping all the troops achieve and exceed their goals. They really do put you through your paces and every single session is different which makes you want to go back for more. Alba is not just for fitness, it personally helped me through a difficult stage in my life and got my head back to where it should be, and gave me the strength mentally and physically to climb Kilimanjaro in 2011. Alba is big on charity work and that comes with a whole lot of fitness days/events which sometimes are not for the faint hearted but well worth giving a go. The support from troopers and instructors alike is first class. I would recommend ALBA to anyone, any shape or size to go and GIVE IT A TRY, you really have nothing to lose, but believe me you will gain a whole new out look in life both physically and mentally. BE PREPARED IT IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!! (PS. Cammy do u think you could start one over here in Portugal cos I Really do need my ALBA fix) Posted By: Yvonne Cornes |
 | After years of gym memberships, lonely running, and various indoor fitness classes, I discovered Alba and was at the very first class. This was the start of a very long relationship. The classes are often demanding, never boring and always enjoyable. There is a great atmosphere, banter and lots of encouragement from the instructors and your fellow troopers. You are never alone when you're part of Team Alba. From the very unfit, to the fitness fanatics - there's something for all levels. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Alba is the best fitness class/club I have ever been involved in. Posted By: John Duff Bothwell |
