Finding Confidence Through Health & Fitness
Choosing a healthier path was Dale’s only option to live a long and happy life. This is his transformation story.
Building strength from the inside
The two health achievements I’m proudest of would have to be my core strength and my improved mental health.
Due to having a hernia for over 10 years my core strength was nonexistent. I had the hernia repaired early February 2017 and since then have worked very hard to develop a strong core.
Also my mental health has greatly improved. I was in a very dark space mentally, now I’m happy, confident and able to understand my body and mind.
It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it
My motivation to make a change came from accepting that I was overweight and had pain all over my body, and mentally I was in a very bad place. Choosing a healthier path was my only option to live a happy and healthy life.
Overcoming fear, self-doubt and anxiety
For me, the most challenging part of getting started on the path to health was overcoming fear, self-doubt and anxiety.
The most unexpected thing I’ve found on my journey so far is that I always thought healthy/fit people were confident and happy.
I quickly realised that depression, anxiety and other mental health issues impact a lot more people than we think — which is why a lot of those people go to gyms and sporting clubs. Exercising helps, but having the support of a community is also really important.

Creating a warrior mentality
For my health and fitness journey, I want to build a warrior so to speak. This means being the best me I can be, and continually challenging and improving myself.
