Kyle’s Journey at Ynysawdre
“I never thought I would ever do it… the staff at Halo were a fantastic support on my journey.”
When Kyle arrived in Bridgend back in October 2022 and found himself living alone for the first time, he made a fantastic decision. He decided to use that new free time to focus on his health, setting himself an ambitious goal to lose 10 stone. His first step was coming through the doors of his local Halo Leisure Centre at Ynysawdre.
Kyle then…
Kyle now…
Starting at 24 stone, Kyle poured his dedication into changing his eating habits, rediscovering a love for cooking along the way. But knowing where to start with exercise can be tough. That’s why he reached out to the friendly staff at the front desk, and they connected him with dedicated Halo team members Ethan and Mel.
The dedication came completely from Kyle, but Ethan and Mel were thrilled to offer the tailored, friendly support he needed. They worked together to create workout plans that were achievable and effective, acting as a reliable, expert resource right there alongside him every step of the way.
Kyle’s commitment was unbelievable. In just under 11 months, he didn’t just meet his 10-stone goal, he smashed it. He kept going, supported by his routine and the constant encouragement of the Ynysawdre team, and went on to lose an additional 2 stone. In total, Kyle has achieved a staggering 12 stone (76KG) loss, which is half his starting body weight. It’s a truly amazing accomplishment that he never thought was possible.
“I can’t thank the staff at my local Halo Leisure Centre enough as they have been a fantastic support on my journey. 3 years down the line and I haven’t looked back, in part to the new lifestyle I want to live and additionally the friendliness and warmth the staff show me every time I go in.”
Kyle’s story is a beautiful reminder of what happens when dedication meets a welcoming community. Halo is not just a place with equipment, but a safe, supportive space with friendly faces like Ethan and Mel, ready to guide you to better physical and mental health.
