From Marathons to Strength: How Courteney Found Confidence & Community at CJPT HQ

Meet Courteney. At 27, she’s been busy chasing the corporate ladder as a lawyer — but outside the office, she’s been chasing something else: running goals most people only dream of.

Over the past two years, Courteney worked with CJPT through online coaching and achieved incredible success:

• Completed her first marathon at London 2024

• Smashed her PB at Manchester Marathon, cutting her time from 4 hours 20 to 4 hours flat

• Took on the challenge of a 50km ultra marathon

The Challenge After Success

After achieving so much in the running world, Courteney found herself in a different battle:

• Training started to feel lonely without in-person support

• She wanted more immediate feedback in her sessions

• She still felt uneasy with strength training, unsure of technique and progress

She knew that to keep moving forward, she needed the right environment and support system.

The Turning Point

Six weeks ago, Courteney stepped into CJPT HQ for small group personal training — and it was exactly what she’d been looking for.

Here’s what changed:

• She finally has hands-on coaching feedback every session

• Her strength confidence has grown massively, lifting weights she never thought she could

• Training no longer feels like a grind — it feels inspirational, motivational, and fun
