Member of the Month
Huge congratulations to August Member of the Month, Helen Robinson!
The mum of two decided to join Grimsby Leisure Centre about three years ago. Her sons, Finley and Isaac, had been enjoying swimming lessons for many years prior, but with them being that little bit older, she had more time to focus on herself.
Wanting to lose some post-partum weight and benefit from the discounted membership rate for parents of children in swim school, Helen joined on a Health & Fitness Membership.
Fast forward three years and she’s able to put a big green tick next to all her goals – she’s lost three stone and is well on track to her target of three and a half stone weight loss – progress that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Fitness Team.
Fitness Supervisor Jenny Jones said: “Big well done to Helen for achieving her goals! Not only has she shown hard work and dedication, but she’s also challenged herself through Personal Training sessions, which have given her confidence to try new things.”

Keen to share her love of her active lifestyle, Helen has now upgraded to a Family Membership so that her husband and kids can enjoy the benefits too.
We come to gym and spend quality family time together most Sundays. I’m often here seven days a week, it’s like my second home – I always leave with a spring in my step.

Alongside her gym workouts, Helen also swims and uses the sauna in the evenings. Following a recommendation from her physiotherapist, she recently started Pilates with our popular Instructor Lesley at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre. She’s made loads of new friends, and her hip pain is also much improved.
When asked about what being awarded member of the month meant to her, Helen said: “What a pleasant surprise! I’ve seen other members awarded it, but I had no idea the team were nominating me! I’m really happy with where I am and what I’ve achieved so far”.
Massive well done to Helen from all the team at Lincs Inspire!
