Ryan’s Transformation
Gym Member’s Inspiring Two-Year Transformation
Ryan Pulford has been named our latest Member of the Month at Grimsby Leisure Centre – and it’s easy to see why. In less than two years, Ryan has completely transformed his lifestyle, losing an incredible six stone and building a healthier, more confident version of himself along the way.
Ryan first joined the centre after many years of battling with his weight, confidence and self-worth. Like many people beginning their fitness journey, taking that first step wasn’t easy.
Since joining, Ryan has become a familiar face at the gym, training daily and consistently pushing himself to improve. His routine often includes time on the treadmill, sessions on the stair master, and high-energy workouts on the spin bikes.
Through dedication and persistence, those sessions have added up to an incredible six-stone weight loss!

Alongside his training, Ryan has also made meaningful changes to his nutrition. By reducing his portion sizes and focusing on mainly non-ultra processed foods, he has built healthier habits that support his active lifestyle and help him maintain his progress.
Ryan’s journey has not only been about physical change. His partner, Laura Barnes, who nominated him for the award, says the improvement in his confidence and mindset has been just as significant.
Beyond the physical change, the change in his confidence and mindset has been amazing to see. I’m incredibly proud of him and feel his commitment and progress deserve recognition.
