Fitness Rush Community CIC

✨️It's official✨️ Fitness Rush have been privileged to be a part of one of the most amazing transformations ever seen 😲 It all started 8 months ago at the C3 Centre in Cambridge when we met an individual named Catherine. Catherine joined one of our tailored exercise and fitness qualification initiatives after seeing our flyer at the church during a weekly service. It was quickly clear that Catherine had a unique empathetic skill set that gives her the ability to engage and encourage individuals to reach their full potentials 💪❤️ During her level 1 qualification practical assessment, assessor and our founder Liam Rushmer noticed these abilities and immediately began to develop plans of how to integrate Catherine into the Fitness Rush Community organisation. Within weeks Liam had personally funded a combined personal training diploma and started working with Catherine to develop her delivery skills. To delve a little deeper into Catherine's life, we need to look back over nearly 15 years of domestic violence, substance abuse, homelessness leading to mental ill health disabilities and long-term trauma. Now 8 and half months completely sober from drugs and alcohol, there is only one direction Catherine is travelling and that is up ⬆️ Catherine explained how this opportunity provided the chance to create a new pathway in life and ensure that her hardship hasn't been a wasted experience by using her knowledge to help others in a similar position. 👉Today marks a special occasion🎉🎊 Catherine is now officially a fully qualified professional trainer and is excited to use her experiences to help her clients and participants reach their full potential too 😀 Next steps are to focus on those experiencing similar stories to give them the same opportunity She has found 🙏 Partnerships with Probation Services, Community Hubs, Council's and other social networks are all a part of the Fitness Rush developmental planning, and gives others the same chance to use fitness as a tool to improve mental and physical well-being, alongside calving future career pathways. Fitness Rush currently have 10 fully funded places to give unemployed individuals the chance to find a meaningful purpose in life and support others in the same position. If you would like to get involved or become one of Catherine's first clients in our private training facility in Old Hurst, please comment "I'M IN" below to receive more information 👇💬📲 Congratulations Catherine - YOU DID IT 🙌 #superstar #career #employment #fitnessrush #community
