Success Stories | Reviews & Testimonials | Alba Military Fitness
 |  Well what can I say about alba. Probably the best life and fitness decision I've ever made! I was one of the gym guys that done 10 mins on the treadmill, sat on some weight machines and pretended I was doing something, that was when I dragged myself out the house. I thought I was pretty fit, but when I joined I realised I wasn't as fit as I thought I was. These guys know what they are doing, they push you to your limit and beyond, with all encouragement and motivation that we all need. I have met some of the best friends ... That know how to train and also know how to enjoy a good night out. Friends and fitness is the future!  Posted By: William Mullen Blantyre |

 | I signed up October last year, spookily the same month as I joined the RAF 23 years earlier! since I left the airforce exercise consisted on hillwalking only and this wasn't doing enough for my fitness. My wife was already a trooper and was seeing great improvements in her fitness and talked me into giving it a try. Best thing I have ever done, took me back to PT sessions of old and I enjoyed that unique way the forces spur each other on. I have also used 1 to 1 sessions the excellent mid week daytime offerings and the instructors have supported me with my diet. The weight is coming off slowly and staying off which is the best way and my fitness levels are constantly improving..great people, great environment, great experience!

 | I joined Alba Military Fitness in Sept 2012, my fitness level was zero and i was carrying alot of extra weight. Since day one i have never looked back, my fitness has improved so much that i am proudly wearing an Amber Bib and i have DROPPED 3 dress sizes, so i am proudly wearing my Jeans again. I look forward to every session with Alba because it always varies with Instructors, Workout Area, and kit uesd, so you NEVER get bored. The biggest plus is the encouragement you get from Alba and your fellow Troopers (who are the greatest bunch you could ever meet). Anyone who is looking for a different, and rewarding way of keeping fit, then Alba is for you. Trust me, i am 42 and i have never felt so great. See you at the next session, GO ON YOU CAN DO IT!

 | I joined alba over a year ago and had never done any fitness at all, in total i've now lost nearly 5 stone and have never felt better! The instructors are amazing and make you work hard & doig stuff I never ever thought I would! I go to the classes 4 times a week and feel great after every one! Ive also done PT with Cammy and even though it was a struggle I didnt quit! Ive made great friends at Alba and everyone always supports and helps you get through the classes! Alba has changed my life & never in a million years did i think i would be outside getting covered in mud & signing up for a 5k! I'd reccomend everyone to join! It changes your life, and you've got nothing to lose!!! Posted By: Chelle Dunne Newmains |
 | I joined Alba in January 2012. In my early 20's I was a keen Kick-boxer training 5-6 times a week, however a bad injury while sparring put a stop to this. Within 1.5 years of not being able to train my weight ballooned and I put on 6.5 stone, due to no longer training and eating healthily went out the window! I had tried gyms on several occasions over the years however I could never get motivated and would always come up with an excuse not to go. I came across an advert for Alba and thought to mself why not give it a go as got nothing to lose. After my first training session i was buzzing and could not wait for the next session. After about 3-4 session i had got my Mojo back and loved training again :-) When I joined Alba i weighed in at 20 stone and through training alone I have lost 3.5 stone! Weight loss wise I am more than half way towards the fighting weight I was in my early 20's. I cannot thank everyone associated with Alba enough, from the troopers to the instructors they make it a great place to train. I have met many great people, many of whom i regard as good friends. Give Alba a go, you have nothing to lose but everything to gain :-) Posted By: Craig Parker Glasgow |
 | I joined Alba Military Fitness in May 2012 and couldn't walk 2 steps in front of me, let alone run. I was the most unfit I'd ever been and wasn't sure I'd fit in, but the troopers and instructors soon made me feel very welcome and part of the Alba family. I can honestly say that I'm the fittest I've ever been and love every aspect of Alba. I miss it when I don't make a class. Alba is not only a fabulous way to get fit, but a brilliant social circle and I've made some great friends!! Posted By: Louise Burden |
 | I have been coming to Alba for just under 2 years, I joined a few weeks after my mother who had been coming home every night and always went on about how great it was. I eventually decided to give it a go but was very apprehensive as I didn't know what to expect, but from meeting the instructors and other before class my nerves where soon settled and after my trial I was addicted! I also signed up in my first week to do a weekend away called the Border Reiver throwing myself into the unknown again, but this was one of the best experiences of my life. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and learned that nothing is impossible. I didn't actually realise how unfit I actually was until I joined alba, I was overweight and this did not help. I signed up for the weight loss challenge which was a small group who supported each other in reaching their weightloss goals along with improving fitness and lost over a massive 3 stone. Starting I could hardly jog never mind run, but with the encouragement and motivation from fellow troopers and instructor I've progressed up through each of the troops, Red, Amber & Green. I have completed many challenges helping a number of fantastic charities and causes along with my fellow alba troopers and am now taking on a marathon something I never thought possible!! I can't thank each and every individual at alba for their continued encouragement because Alba has changed my life not only my fitness but my confidence in myself to be able to achieve anything!!......So if your hesitating on coming along for a trial then don't because you will be pushed out of your comfort zone but you will welcomed by a group of great people who are more like a family and you will be looked after at all times!!

 | If someone had told me a year ago that I would be training in the cold and dark, rolling around in the mud, press-ups in puddles, running in the snow, I would have said "no way, not me"! But since joining Alba in May 2012 I have been doing all those things - and enjoying it! Since becoming an Alba Trooper I have climbed Tinto, climbed a telephone mast, completed the Santa Dash, walked part of the West Highland Way and only last weekend completed the Demon Run! Things I never thought I would do - or want to do. It's all thanks to the encouragement and support of the troops and especially the instructors. I've lost weight and dropped a few sizes but most importantly I've had so much fun doing it! Posted By: Yvonne Lamb Lanarkshire |
