Jane Bennett, who is well known in the Wiltshire area, has built a loyal following as a live singer and performer and also works for a local counselling charity, but it’s her transformation offstage that’s turning heads.
In her 50s, Jane turned to fitness with the goal of improving her health and losing weight, but her journey has since taken her in a direction she never expected.
Ms Bennett said: “I didn’t even consider something like bodybuilding when I first started.
“I was just a bit lost and unsure where to begin improving my health, having tried lots of different approaches that weren’t sustainable.
“Having had multiple broken bones in a road traffic accident as a teenager, two caesareans and over 9.5 stone weight loss, I’m excited to showcase what I’m achieving; the whole process has really fired my enthusiasm.”
She found inspiration through social media and began working with Kieran Pierce of KP Health Coaching, whose tailored approach changed everything.
Mr Pierce said: “When Jane first came to me, she’d spent years stuck in the cycle so many women experience – trying restrictive diets and unrealistic workout plans that were never designed for her lifestyle, preferences, or stage of life.
“Instead of forcing another unsustainable approach, we focused on building habits she genuinely enjoyed and could actually stick to.
“Since then, the transformation has been incredible, not just physically but in her confidence and mindset too.
“She’s become a completely different woman inside and out, and I’m incredibly proud to support her as she prepares for her first competition and joins me for a Marbella photoshoot later this year.”
Through consistency and determination, Ms Bennett not only achieved her weight loss goals but discovered a passion for strength training and bodybuilding.
She credits Frome Leisure Centre as a vital part of her journey and routine.
Ms Bennett said: “For me, the sports centre isn’t just somewhere to work out, it’s part of my routine, my progress, my headspace.
“It’s an important part of my life now.
“Places like this are vital.
“They give people somewhere positive to go, whether that’s for physical health, mental wellbeing, or just a bit of routine.
“Losing something like that would have a huge affect on the community.”
