Morgan Loubser, a 41-year-old from South Africa, had been living in Dubai for three years when she decided she needed a fitness regime that went beyond just visiting a regular gym. Her search for a training program that provided structure, motivation, and a welcoming environment led her to Embody Fitness. This is Morgan’s transformative story of how Embody helped her find passion in fitness and achieve noticeable results.
Like many people, Morgan had struggled to find a gym that truly met her needs. "I was looking for a place that I could slot into a training regime where I could look forward to actually coming to the gym every day and feel good about my life and where I am," she explains. Her husband discovered Embody Fitness while researching online, and Morgan was immediately drawn to the facility's approach. "My husband called me over, incredibly excited, and said, 'You’ve got to see this place,'" she recalls.
Coming from a health-conscious family, Morgan was aware of the importance of food and exercise, but she hadn’t been able to fine-tune her approach. "I was aware of calories but wasn’t that focused on macros and the huge difference they make," she admits. Despite going to the gym five or six days a week, she found public gyms frustrating due to overcrowding and lack of access to equipment. Embody Fitness, however, provided the organized, calm environment she had been missing.
Morgan’s main challenge was finding motivation and routine. She struggled to push herself beyond a certain point and often felt discouraged by the lack of results. Embody Fitness changed this for her. With personalized attention from her trainer, Sari, Morgan was able to achieve her fitness goals while enjoying the process.
"Now all of a sudden I’m being guided in a way that’s providing the results that I want, in a very calm manner,"
Morgan's trainer, Sari, became an essential part of her fitness journey. Their relationship was built on trust, motivation, and even humor. "He pushes me and knows what I’m capable of when I don’t know what I’m capable of," she says. This level of support helped Morgan push through her limits, achieving noticeable muscle development and increased strength. "Working with my trainer Sari has been an absolute game changer for me," she reflects.
What set Embody Fitness apart for Morgan was the facility’s constant evolution and attention to client needs. "The people, the facilities, the way in which Embody is constantly growing... they don’t stagnate," she explains. This commitment to improvement provided Morgan with the tools to develop a newfound passion for health and fitness. "I’m getting older, and especially as a female, I want a long, healthy life going forward," she adds. Through her training at Embody, Morgan is building muscle and enhancing her strength, setting herself up for a healthier future.
"Most people come to the gym and think it’s a magic wand... but that’s not the case, you need to pull your own weight, take the knowledge you’re being fed, and put it into practice."
