Vibe’s latest BlogStar is…….our biggest loser 2011 Chris Burke
Friday, April 15th, 2011CHRIS Burke had joined countless gyms over the years, but never stuck with a fitness programme or maintained the results he wanted.
But after being a member at Vibe for almost three years now he admits it has changed his life.
He explained: “I had joined several different gyms over the years and my weight had gone up and down and I never seemed to stick with them, going to the gym became a chore.
“But Vibe has been fantastic. Neil has worked wonders in helping me to incorporate fitness and a healthy lifestyle into my everyday routine. I have got great results and been able to maintain them.”
At his heaviest Chris tipped the scales at 15st 7lb, but is now a trim 13st 2lb.
And he believes his success is down to Vibe’s no-nonsense attitude and dedication to its members.
“I’ve been members of these big corporate gyms before and you are just treated as a number. At Vibe there is a real personal touch. The team there know every member and their strengths and weaknesses so they can push them that bit further – they really keep you motivated. All the members are a great bunch and there is a great atmosphere. You don’t feel at all intimidated when you are there.
“Also Neil has really re-educated me about nutrition. Before Vibe I ate a lot of microwave meals, whereas now I do a lot of fresh home-cooking which is benefiting the whole family.”
Chris has two personal training sessions a week as well as doing spinning classes and taking part in Vibe’s Sunday morning running club.
And he was recently crowned Vibe’s Biggest Loser 2011 after losing a staggering 8.5% of his body weight, and 4 % body fat in just seven weeks in Vibe’s New Year weight loss challenge.
He added: “I really enjoy going to Vibe, it isn’t chore it is just part of my day to day routine. I am in my 40s now and wanted to maintain a healthier lifestyle and that is what Vibe has helped me to do.”
Chris ran the Great Manchester 10K run last year in a fantastic time of 48 minutes. His latest challenge is to shave 3 minutes off his time and get round in undere 45 minutes. Watch this space to see if he does it!

Grassington Mountain Bike Marathon

Check out our biking team in the Grassington Mountain Bike Marathon. Our brave bikers cycled for over five hours in wind and rain to complete the gruelling course. The June event was over 50km and took the team over the Yorkshire Moors. Well done to Conrad Thorpe, Peter O’Gorman, Chris Burrows, John Dutton, Chris Burke and of course our very own Neil Taylor.

Our members love Vibe Boot Camps!
Friday, February 19th, 2010I know we are always telling you how fab Vibe is, but you may be cynical. Well if you don’t believe us, then listen to our members. They speak the truth and have the results to prove it.
Sarah Cooper said: “The bootcamp has given me the chance to try classes I would not have done before like circuits and spinning, both of which I have loved doing and will continue to do. I have lost weight, found muscles I
had forgotten about and made new friends. It has boosted my motivation and more importantly my confidence!”
Sarah Burns said: “I joined the boot camp with the aim of losing around 1/2 a stone and to increase my general fitness. With one week to go I am almost at my weight target and my fitness has improved so much that I have signed up for a 10k run, confident I will be able to run it within my target time. The boot camp is really well organised and made me try things I’d never have thought of doing, such as spin, treasure hunt and runway circuits. The trainers are really encouraging and work you individually to achieve your personal goals. Combined with the diet advice and lots of hard work you really do get results. The excellent variety of the boot camp sessions means that you work each part of the body in different sessions and you’re never too sure what you’ll be doing, but the group atmosphere is great and we all encouraged each other through the more difficult sessions.”
You really can’t argue with that. If you love Vibe too, please add your comments on our Facebook page.
