From First-Time Gym-Goer to Feeling Stronger and More Confident
A Life-Changing Experience at The PEAK
At Active Stirling, we love hearing how The PEAK has made a difference in our members’ lives. Petra’s journey is truly inspiring, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have been part of her fitness experience. From stepping into the gym for the first time to feeling stronger and more confident, Petra’s story is a testament to the power of support, encouragement, and a welcoming community.
Petra’s Story in Her Own Words
I can't recommend The PEAK highly enough. I was referred by my doctor and having never been to a gym before, I was quite nervous as my physical health had been a real challenge due to my condition.
From the moment I walked in, I felt completely safe and supported. Since then, my self-esteem and confidence have been boosted in ways I never expected.



One experience that really stands out was when I had to be taken to hospital by ambulance due to a heart issue. The care and medical attention I received from Dawn and the team at The PEAK was outstanding.
It's incredibly reassuring to know that I'm in such a safe environment, with their professionalism giving me peace of mind whenever I'm in the gym.



Since joining, it’s had a massive positive effect on my confidence as I feel much stronger and empowered. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.
I’m so grateful for the support and care I’ve received throughout my journey, and the welcoming, family-like atmosphere has made all the difference.
