Who Am I Now? Rediscovering Yourself Beyond ‘Mum’
At some point, almost every mum asks herself this question: Who am I now?
You’ve spent years pouring every ounce of love, time, and energy into your children.
You’ve put them first, always, and somewhere along the way, your own goals, your own hobbies, and even your own sense of self slipped down the list.
It’s not unusual for mums to feel like they’ve lost a part of who they are outside of being “Mammy” (or taxi driver, snack provider, homework helper, peacekeeper…).
But here’s the truth we see every day r: that woman is still in there.
She’s just waiting for the chance to be brought back to life.
The Changes We See in Women Who Walk Through Our Doors
When women first join us, they often arrive tired, low in confidence, and questioning if they can even “do this” for themselves.
It’s not about getting fit for a bikini or lifting the heaviest weights.
It’s about something much deeper—reclaiming me time and proving to yourself that you’re still capable, strong, and worthy.
We see it happen all the time:
Their confidence grows, not just in the gym but in how they speak about themselves.
They start having more energy to tackle the day and enjoy life again.
They find joy in doing something that’s just for them.
Our Role in Helping Mums Find Themselves Again
We know this isn’t about transforming someone overnight.
Sometimes, all a woman needs is the slightest nudge - a safe space, some structure, and encouragement to believe in herself again.
That’s what we do.
We celebrate every win, no matter how small, and we remind you that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
When you feel good, when you’re strong and confident, you’re not just doing it for yourself.
You’re becoming a better version of you - for your kids, your partner, and everyone around you.
The Power of Community
Something magical happens when women train together.
The gym becomes more than a workout space, it becomes a space to be heard and understood.
We see mums make real friendships, share their struggles, laugh about the chaos of life, and even let out their frustrations through a session.
It’s a kind of therapy, both in the conversation and in the movement itself.
You Deserve You
If you’ve been afraid to invest time or money in yourself because you feel guilty, we get it.
But you deserve that time.
You deserve to feel like you again.
Motherhood adds to who you are, but it doesn’t erase who you were.
That spark, that woman who loves to laugh, feel strong, and have goals of her own - she’s still there.
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s the most selfless thing you can do, because it allows you to show up as your happiest, strongest, and most confident self for your family.
Your First Step Back to You
If this resonates, maybe it’s time to take that first step - for you.
Come join a group of women who get it, who know what it’s like, and who will cheer you on as you find your spark again.
