When Lucas and his wife Debs relocated from South London to Torrington in August 2024, they happened to move in next door to what would become a life-changing place: Function Fitness.

This isn’t a short one…. But this feels like it needs a deep dive.I’ve done my fair share of scrolling through Google. I’ve read the blogs. I’ve checked in with other fitness professionals. And honestly? At surface level, these weight loss (not fat loss) injections seem to be the thing right now.And I get why.

You don’t need a new meal plan.You don’t need to cut out carbs.And you definitely don’t need to be perfect.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the nutrition advice out there (eat this, not that, intermittent fast, don’t eat after 6pm, drink celery juice, avoid seed oils…), you’re not alone.

You know what’s easy? Going all in.You buy the meal plan, prep all your food on Sunday, track every gram, drink 3 litres of water, and tell yourself this time it’s going to stick.Until… it doesn’t.Because life happens. you get tired. The motivation dips. Work gets busy. Kids get sick.And before you know it, you're ordering takeout again and wondering why you can't just stay consistent.

When Sophie joined Function Fitness in February 2024, it was thanks to a lucky win—a free 6-week challenge. But what began as a timely opportunity to recover from a meniscus injury quickly became something far more meaningful.

You’re tracking your food, hitting your steps, eating your protein, trying your best—and still… nothing’s happening.Your weight hasn’t moved. your clothes feel the same. the momentum you had at the start? gone.Hello, plateau.It's frustrating. and it can feel like a sign that you’ve failed or that your body is working against you—but it’s not.
