Tara Hegarty, the founder of VFC, started her fitness journey at the young age of 16. At that time, she was overweight, had zero self-esteem and confidence, and struggled with emotional eating. Determined to make a change, she purchased an exercise DVD and started her fitness journey in her own home. Despite facing initial challenges and being out of breath during the warm-up, Tara persevered and slowly built up her fitness level over time.

As she became fitter, Tara noticed positive changes in her physical and mental well-being. She experienced improved asthma symptoms, bought smaller clothes, and felt healthier and happier overall. Inspired by her own transformation and the benefits of exercise, Tara decided to get a treadmill and taught herself to run. She eventually reached a point where she could run three miles non-stop every evening, and her asthma was completely cured.

However, Tara also experienced a period of obsession with being skinny, which led to unhealthy habits. Through personal growth and self-reflection, she learned the importance of balance, self-love, and adopting a healthy approach to fitness. This experience not only shaped her as a fitness professional but also inspired her to create a safe and welcoming environment at VFC.

At VFC, Tara and her team strive to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can be themselves, socialise, and boost their physical and mental well-being. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced fitness enthusiast, there is a fitness class suitable for you at VFC. Join the VFC family and experience the positive impact of fitness on your life.
