Tianna's journey and her unstoppable mindset

How Her Fitness Journey Began 💪🏻

Five years ago, she never would have imagined where she’d be today, stronger, healthier, and genuinely happy. Her fitness and weight loss journey started around that time, but it hasn’t been a straight path. It’s been full of highs and lows, challenges, and a lot of personal growth.

At her heaviest, she reached 19 stone. That was her wake-up call. (Although, to be completely honest, what really pushed her to make a change was realising she weighed more than her father-in-law and she just couldn’t have that 😂).

 

Over the years, she tried every diet, coach, and workout program under the sun, but nothing seemed to stick. Eventually, she came to understand that she was struggling with binge eating disorder. She’s also in the process of being assessed for ADHD but that’s a whole different story!

During that time, her mental health hit rock bottom. She took time off work, isolated herself, stopped taking care of her body, and lost touch with friends and family. It was one of the darkest periods of her life. But with therapy, things slowly began to change.

She started weight loss injections, found a coach who truly understood her, and even switched gyms for a fresh start. That combination along with support from her coach, family, and friends helped her lose 4 stone and, more importantly, keep it off.

 

Now, she’s no longer using the injections (thank you, financial reality 🥲), but her motivation hasn’t faded. Her focus has shifted from just losing weight to improving performance and building strength.

Because for her, this isn’t just a weight loss journey, it’s a complete lifestyle transformation.

Her Progress & Achievements

 

✨ First Competition
In September, she entered her first-ever competition, the Deadly Dozen in Yate, Bristol and smashed her personal best by 14 minutes, finishing with an incredible time of 1:42!

 

💪 Mental & Physical Growth
Her confidence has grown massively. She’s come out of her shell, met so many like-minded gym lovers, and made some amazing new friends along the way. Mentally, she’s stronger, more motivated, and more resilient than ever. Physically, she can run, jump, and lift heavy and she feels good in her own skin again.

🏋️♀️ Future Goals
She’s now setting her sights on entering more competitions and, one day, competing as an athlete. Her goals are to lose more fat, build muscle, and continue developing her athleticism and strength.

Of course, she still has tough days or even weeks where motivation dips, gym sessions get skipped, and junk food creeps back in. But she’s learned that progress isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency.

She’s incredibly grateful for her support system, her coach, friends, and family but she’s also proud of herself. Her determination and sheer stubbornness have carried her through.

 

Now, she genuinely loves training. The gym has become her happy place (even if she sometimes wonders mid-workout why she puts herself through it 🥵😂).

She’s also developed a passion for learning about fitness. When she first started, she had no idea what she was doing in the gym, but she took the time to educate herself watching videos, asking questions, joining classes, and working with her coach. Today, she’s confident and knowledgeable, and she’s even halfway through a degree in Sport, Fitness, and Coaching a decision inspired by her newfound love for fitness.

How Unwonted Helped Her

Let’s talk about gym wear because Unwonted has played a big part in her journey.

It’s her go-to brand for workout clothing, thanks to its amazing designs, quality materials, and unbeatable comfort. She practically lives in Unwonted gear these days 😂. The clothes make her feel confident, empowered, and a little different — in the best possible way.

 

For her Deadly Dozen competition, she wore an Unwonted skort and crop top and she FELT SEXY. And you know what they say: “If you look good, you feel good, and you perform good.” That was exactly what happened. She performed incredibly well and received so many compliments that day. Plus, Unwonted’s clothing is totally squat-proof, so no worries there! 😅

Because she feels comfortable and confident in her Unwonted gear, she’s able to focus completely on her performance. And that confidence boost has made a real difference.

Final Thoughts

Her journey is far from over but the progress she’s made, both mentally and physically, has been life-changing. She’s stronger, more confident, and surrounded by an amazing community that supports and inspires her.

This isn’t a temporary phase for her anymore. It’s her lifestyle. She’s a little obsessed with the gym, always learning, and constantly striving to be better.

And honestly? She wouldn’t have it any other way. 🖤
