Testimonials

"As a regular gym user (3-4 times per week), I was struggling to lose lose my festive weight gain, but in the space of four weeks with the introduction of using the Vibrostation three times a week combined with my gym visits, I am now seeing visible results. The Vibrostation has given me the tone, definition, and results I have previously struggled to achieve, all in such a short space of time, whilst reducing my actual time in the gym. I will definately be continuing to exercise with the Vibrostation, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone."
Jane, 57
“The hardest thing you will do is walk through the door for the first time. Once you have achieved that the rest is easy. My fitness had nose-dived after a back injury when I started and from struggling to last 30 minutes I now work out for two hours at a time. I’ve also manages to stop smoking, and as the gym has plenty of equipment, you’re guaranteed a varied workout no matter what your goal are. The staff are great and always willing to give advice – all you have to do is ask!”
David, 44
“Although I wasn’t overweight when I joined, i wasn’t happy with my figure and felt unfit. After following my programme for a couple of months and attending some of the classes, I actually managed to lose quite a bit of weight as well as toning up a lot. I now feel great and can do more than ever.”
Zoe, 30
“Although I considered myself to be in good condition for my age before I joined, I’ve managed to become stronger and more supple. Joining the gym is the best thing I have done in years.”
Duncan, 87
“I was unhappy with my fitness when I first started, but the facilities and approachable staff have helped me change my body shape.”
Tracy, 31
“Although I was reasonably fit when I started, within a matter of weeks and with a bit of help from the staff I felt a lot fitter.”
Billy, 51
“Being four-and-a-half stone lighter as well as having a significantly higher level of fitness has made me feel so much better about myself. My fitness programme has allowed me to keep track of my improvements, and as well as the gym I sometimes go to the classes for a change. If you’re thinking about joining, get yourself along, because trust me, you’ll never look back.”
Gail, 29
"In just 12 weeks, I managed to shed almost a stone-and-a-half, lose over a fifth of my body fat, and change my body shape. As a result I feel as fit as I possibly ever have, and I have actually surprised myself. After the initial tough first few weeks, you soon find things easier and you get a buzz from working out and from the progress you are making. Variation helps and I combined two Spinning classes per week with regular gym visits on top of other activities outside of the gym. If you really WANT to do it, you WILL make the time, you WILL achieve, and you WILL see and feel the difference. If you can't make the time, then you're just kidding yourself on... I should know... I did it for years!"
Stuart, 33
“Joining Think Fitness helped me transform my body shape, my lifestyle, and my confidence, in a matter of months. I find the place to be a really motivational environment as the staff are always extremely positive about my personal progress, and it’s also a great place to meet new people.”
Graham, 36
“Before joining I was overweight with a bad diet. Thanks to the facilities and staff I have completely changed. I have lost five stones, I eat healthily, and I work out regularly as there is always a new challenge to keep me interested and motivated.”
Simon, 37
I have been a member for two years and I can see a big difference. I've lost two stones, I feel ten years younger, and I have lots more energy. My advice is to fit three training sessions into your regular week and you will feel the benefits. Just take it one step at a time. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
Gary, 44
“Following a regular exercise programme in the gym has helped me become more toned and it has given me a lot more energy.”

Weel-Kent Face 2008

The fifth Weel-Kent Face competition saw a change in the voting system as performance points were brought into the equation. The title was scooped by Remedial Massage and Sports Therapist Nicola Borthwick who is based here in Think Fitness. Click here to find out how to make an appointment or for further information. If Carlsberg did blatant plugs for business on web-sites...
Winner - Nicola

Nicola has to concentrate as she demonstrates her balance skills on the beam during the Gymnastics task. Nicola had to convince herself she could win it at first, but once she did there was no looking back.
Gerry

Tax inspector, former football referee and Hawick Golf Club captain Gerry Monaghan is another competition legend. A born leader, Gerry provided his fellow 'faces' with countless amusing and memorable moments, albeit sometimes unintentionally. Gerry is probably the most popular 'face' amongst his fellow competitors to have been evicted.
Hoggy

Former Greens player, Cornet, and rugby referee John Hogg was a model pro in everything he done in the competition, and gets a lot of credit for the way he encouraged his fellow competitors. At the tennis task when 'faces' were told to wear white with bonus points being awarded for the best outfit, Hoggy as you'll not be surprised to hear looking at the photo opposite, duly won the points. Hoggy followed in the footsteps of his nephew Dodger, who took part in the very first year of the competition. Hoggy used the competition as a springboard to regaining his fitness and confidence after overcoming injury, and is another 'face' who still trains at Think Fitness.
Janice

Burnfoot Community School headtaecher and wife of the original Weel-Kent Face Chappy, Janice Chapman is pictured here during Jim Hay's Rugby task on a very wet night on the training pitch at the rear of Mansfield Park. Already a Think Fitness regular, Janice took things to a higher during the competition, realising she was more fit than she thought and more capable.
Lesley

After playing the lead role in Fordy's 'Diesel' production alongside fellow Weel-Kent Face Pike, Lesley Kerr (now Paterson) took part in the competition finishing runner-up. Lesley was another determined competitor, and is pictured here giving it her all during the Launch task.
Pearl

Local hairdresser Pearl, who has had a shop in O'Connell Street moons before Think Fitness opened is pictured here during the Launch task. Pearl was unfortunate to be the first 'face' evicted during this competition, but it didn't stop her from enjoying herself during the competition then continuing to exercise at Think Fitness after her eviction.
Pike

Local opera star, musician, singer and Common Riding follower Graeme Tinlin did want his competition name to be 'Tinlin', but his sponsors Scocha insisted it would be 'Pike' due to the similarities between him and his stunt double from classic TV comedy series Dad's Army. Pike is pictured hear cleaning horses tack during a unique Equestrian-style task, which was hosted by Taitso and winner-to-be Nicola's brother Glyn Martin.
Pop

Former YM and Hawick middle-row man Gary Robson is pictured here ten-pin bowling on the Nintendo Wii during the opening night task at the Border Club. Pop was gutted to just miss out on reaching the last week, being the final evictee of the competition. Another game competitor.
Scott

Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue member Scott Amos already had a place in Weel-Kent Face folklore before the competition due to his contribution in organising the Mountain Rescue task in the four previous competitions. Scott found it interesting on the other side taking part as a 'face', particularly when he was handicapped during the Mountain Rescue task as he was banned from communicating with his fellow 'faces'. Another keen competitor.
Shonagh

Firefighter Shonagh McLaren was another Think Fitness regular to take part in the competition, and is pictured here during the Archery task. Shonagh who recently became a mother, enjoyed a memorable competition, with her 'best bit' possibly being her 'dooking for apple' exploits during the Itz A Knockout task, where things got pretty messy!
