Nicola Fielder from Verwood came to BeFit with a very clear deadline.
Her wedding day was just eight weeks away — the biggest and most special day of her life. Like many brides-to-be, she wanted to feel confident, healthy, and happy in her dress.
But despite her best efforts, she was struggling to lose the weight on her own.
The Challenge
With the countdown to the wedding well underway, Nicola felt the pressure.
She was a size 16 and just under 14 stone, and although she had the best motivation possible — her own wedding day — the weight simply wasn’t shifting.
Trying to do it alone was frustrating, and time was quickly running out.
When Nicola was introduced to Ben at BeFit, she admits she felt extremely nervous, especially about stepping on the scales for the first time.
Why She Nearly Didn’t Start
Like many people starting a fitness journey, Nicola had some doubts.
The idea of personal training, weigh-ins, and structured exercise felt intimidating. But she also knew she needed help if she was going to reach her goal before the big day.
After an initial consultation, weigh-in, and measurements, Ben created a simple training plan and sensible eating guidelines — not a restrictive diet.
That’s when things began to change.
The Turning Point
With a clear plan and regular personal training sessions, Nicola finally had the structure and accountability she needed.
Each week brought steady progress, and Ben’s encouragement helped her stay focused even during the moments when she felt like giving up.
The sessions pushed her just enough to keep improving, while the supportive coaching kept her motivated all the way through.
The Results
In just 7½ weeks, Nicola achieved incredible results ahead of her wedding:

1 stone 2 lbs lostHere’s what Nicola had to say:
“I would never have done it without Ben’s instruction, encouragement and positivity. He kept me focused when I told him I’d had enough and pushed me a little further every session.”
What This Means for You
Nicola’s story shows how powerful the right support and structure can be — especially when you’re working towards an important milestone.
Sometimes all it takes is having someone there to guide you, keep you accountable, and help you push just that little bit further.
