Stefana’s Strength: Overcoming OCD and Anxiety Through Fitness
“I used to have really bad OCD and anxiety, but now I sleep better, drink less, and have a routine. Training relaxes my brain”
Stefana had spent years in physically demanding jobs, yet she constantly struggled with aches and pains in her legs and knees.
She knew something had to change.
That’s when she decided to focus on building strength at Angel Gyms, before those aches turned into something more serious.
Initially hesitant about the typical gym environment, Stefana found the inclusivity and safe space at Angel Gyms to be exactly what she was looking for.
"I really hate gyms. They’re so busy, and people care more about showing off than actually working out. Angel Gyms was totally different."
It was the welcoming environment and personal support from her trainer, Suli, that made all the difference for Stefana.
She found a space where she didn’t have to worry about anything but focusing on her own progress.
"Suli’s strict, but in the best way. For the first time in my life, I’ve actually been consistent with a sport. That’s never happened before."
Suli’s balance of accountability and support helped Stefana build a routine she could stick to.
With Suli’s guidance, Stefana not only improved physically but also found relief from her anxiety and OCD.
“I was always on my feet, working in hospitality, but my body still hurt. I realised I just wasn’t strong enough.”

Through her time at Angel Gyms, Stefana’s strength grew in ways she never imagined.
Exercises that once felt impossible, like push-ups, became attainable milestones.
"I can do push-ups now! It looked so easy, but when I tried, I was proven wrong quickly. Now, I can do eight—and I’m aiming for ten!"
The benefits have been both mental and physical.
Stefana is no longer plagued by constant aches, and her overall well-being has improved dramatically.
For Stefana, Angel Gyms was about more than just getting stronger, it was about building a better relationship with her body and mind, all in a space where she felt truly comfortable.
"I’d recommend Angel Gyms to anyone who feels stuck, like I did. It’s the perfect place if you want to make a real change but don’t like the typical gym scene."
