A workout plan
Luckily for you, we’ve created one that’s super easy to do and on the house. Just download your free Slim Down Booyah Body workout plan.
Friends
Getting active together increases your chances of achieving your goals. It also encourages you to work out harder. Whether it’s with your best friend or office colleague(s), working out in twos or twenties is the perfect way to get motivated.
The right food
A good place to start is to see a registered dietician who’ll create a meal plan designed for you and your lifestyle. Or, if you’re a Virgin Active member, you can download a meal plan for free from myvirginactive. Meal plan aside, avoid foods rich in sugar, skip carbohydrates like rice, pasta and potatoes in the evenings and drink lots of water with lemon during the day.

A personal trainer
Yes, you can do it on your own, but if you’re new to this whole fitness thing, a personal trainer will take the “eek” right out of getting started.
Or, if you're a member you can take advantage of Virgin Active's super affordable PT Booster Packs that’ll give you a consultation and two workout sessions with one of our highly qualified personal trainers.
Patience is key
Rome wasn’t built in a day and getting fit doesn’t happen overnight. Take it one step at a time, one rep at a time, one day at a time. Anything is better than nothing!
And if you want expert guidance, free meal plans and a club filled with cutting-edge equipment and the latest in group exercise classes like Barre180 and The Grid, join Virgin Active.
Not only will you get the rest of the month free, we’ll throw in a one-on-one with a fitness instructor to help get you up and active. Easy.
