At Evolution, we’ve worked with people from all walks of life — from total beginners to experienced athletes, and everything in between.
But it’s the stories like Kathrina Lucid’s that really hit home for many people thinking about starting — but afraid to take the first step.
Kathrina joined our gym in April 2025, having gone through a spinal fusion and years of treatment that included steroids.
Her goal was simple but powerful:
👉 “To get back to a fitness routine and lose weight after years of setbacks.”
Starting Was the Hardest Part
“I was so nervous… but I need not have been. On meeting David, I felt at ease.”
Kathrina, like so many others, had a fear of the gym. The atmosphere. The equipment. The unknown.
But that fear didn’t last long.
“My first session with Mark was excellent, and it was a lovely group of like-minded people — a really nice class.”
What Changed? Everything.
Kathrina went from dreading the thought of a gym to actually looking forward to her sessions:
“I look forward to Tuesday and Thursday workouts.”
She’s proud — and rightfully so — of how far she’s come.
“I hadn’t done any workouts for years due to disc degeneration, but now I can do it all. Delighted with myself 😉”
Biggest Challenge? Taking the First Step
“The hardest part was contacting David.”
And that’s the part many people relate to most — fear of failure, judgment, or simply not knowing where to begin.
But once you take that step, everything gets easier.
Looking Ahead
Kathrina’s goals are now focused on what truly matters:
- Reducing pain
- Losing weight
- Getting physically stronger
She’s not chasing perfection. She’s chasing health, strength, and freedom from pain — and she’s winning.
Advice From Kathrina to Anyone Who’s Nervous?
“Take the plunge. You won’t regret it.”
And one final note she shared, which sums up the Evolution community perfectly:
“So glad I joined. A lovely group. It’s great that you’re held accountable if you miss sessions — and I love the WhatsApp group!”
