A woman who felt "intimidated" walking into a public gym has since won a national body building title and is now urging other females to reach for their dreams.
Sarah Rowley, of Halewood, decided to give herself a challenge and complete something she "never thought was possible" and so embarked on a fitness challenge back in 2017.
However, she said she felt "intimidated" when going into commercial gyms and felt like "people were watching and judging".
