- 🟣 I own 5 bricks
🟣 I own 5 bricks
and I’m so bloody grateful
Oi oi my succulent little soufflé!
I've just moved into my new house!
Well, technically the bank owns most of it, but I've got about 5 bricks to my name so that’s something eh?
Anyway, this milestone has me feeling more reflective than a disco ball at a 70s party...
Six years ago, I was designing overpriced bogs for people with more money than sense, earning just above minimum wage.
Henley Fitness was just a dream I was building from my bedroom window ledge, squeezing in work every evening and weekend like a woman possessed.
Two years ago?
I was nipples deep in a quarter-life crisis, living in Thailand, trying to make this social media thing work while editing content on sleeper buses and in hostels that had more cockroaches than wifi bars.
And for the last 6 months, I've been working from my parents' shed (known as “the she-shed” in the Henley family).
But now?
I've got a whole bloody ROOM dedicated to building Henley Fitness with you lot.
If you'd told me back then that I'd build something that would serve thousands of incredible clients…
And give me enough financial security to buy 5 whole bricks of a house?
I'd have called you a daft, deluded bugger and gone back to designing fancy toilets.
But here's the thing...
Behind all the silly videos and waffle, there've been:
😵💫 Thousands of hours building this business from scratch
😵💫 Hundreds of "what the fuck am I doing" moments
😵💫 Tens of "maybe I should just quit" breakdowns
😵💫 One very supportive set of parents who let me commandeer their shed
And you know what?
None of it - literally NONE of it - would have been possible without you lot.
Whether you've double-tapped my daft videos, joined our BITS crew, trusted us with your goals in Blitz, let us guide you through 1:1 coaching, or just sent me messages about your wins - you've made this all possible.
From my tits to my toes (and all the wobbly bits in between), thank you.
Thank you for being part of this absolutely mental journey.
Thank you for trusting me with your fitness goals.
Thank you for making life this stupidly wonderful.
I promise to keep giving you more value, more content, and all the support you need to get (and STAY) wiggling. 🏋️♀️
Even if I have to film it all from my 5 bricks of this house.
Big love,
Rachel 🥰
