" Support our move to a bigger space."

Donation protected
My name is Carrie, and I started Mindset Body Transformations in the summer of 2020 during the middle of the Covid pandemic while on furlough from my corporate sales job. What began as a free outdoor bootcamp for friends and personal training clients quickly became something very special. The sessions were a lifeline for many of us who were struggling with our mental health during a very uncertain time.

After returning to work, I found myself struggling with my mental health. Having ADHD had always made sales a perfect job for me - I had endless energy and a talent for talking, which I considered being my superpower. However, for the first time in my career, I found myself working for a company that made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was a challenging experience that took a toll on my confidence and left me feeling trodden down. My confidence was at an all-time low. That's when I realized I had to leave my high-paid sales job and try to make Mindset Bootcamp into a proper business. Running my own business is something I never saw myself doing, but the idea really excited me. I would be doing a job I love every day and, in the process, helping people overcome their mental health struggles through exercise. It was a scary leap, but I knew it was what I was meant to do.

Over the last three years of building Mindset, I've had the pleasure of working with so many amazing women who have transformed not just their bodies, but their entire outlook on life. It's been incredibly rewarding to see them gain confidence, overcome obstacles, and live their best lives.

In September 2021, I was thrilled to finally open the Mindset Body Transformation studio within the fantastic boxing gym, Pound for Pound Palace. However, in recent weeks, I find myself in a predicament where I really need my own space. The noise level and limited parking options have become problematic, and with summer just around the corner and no air conditioning, it makes it unbearable for some of my ladies, especially those going through menopause or perimenopausal like myself.

As much as I love the gym and appreciate its support, it's time for me to move on to a new location that better suits my needs. Unfortunately, the need to move has come unexpectedly, and I am now faced with the task of raising the necessary funds.

By donating to our cause, you can help us reach more women over 30 who are struggling with confidence and self-belief, and who desperately need our services to overcome their obstacles. At Mindset Body Transformation, we believe that exercise should be accessible to every woman and that no one should feel like they don't belong in the gym. We have created a safe and inclusive space for women of all shapes, ethnicities, and sizes to come together and improve their physical and mental well-being.

Your support will not only help us secure a new location for Mindset Body Transformation, but it will also help us continue to provide a safe and comfortable space where women over 30 can receive personalized coaching and support to help them achieve their health and fitness goals. Every woman deserves to feel empowered and inspired to live her best life, and with your donation, we can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve

To give back to the community, once we open our new premises, we plan to offer regular monthly classes for children with disabilities in partnership with the Knights Foundation charity. Additionally, we are also looking to offer sessions specifically for Muslim women and free sessions for women who have suffered mental/physical abuse or a very low income. We believe in creating an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and has access to the benefits of physical activity and mental wellness. By partnering with local organizations and charities, we hope to make a positive impact in the lives of those who may face additional challenges in accessing fitness and wellness resources.
