Brooke Vincent shares her gym journey, highlighting fitness as her salvation and the mental health benefits of working out.

Manchester: Brooke Vincent has been posting about her gym journey lately, and wow, she looks fantastic! The former Coronation Street star is really getting into a consistent workout routine.
Brooke, known for her role as Sophie Webster, calls fitness her ‘salvation.’ It’s helping her manage the challenges of being a mom. She even joked about her trainer, who has a bit of an ‘evil’ reputation.
She’s been hitting the gym three times a week at Ultimate Performance in Spinningfields, working with Steve Chambers, the gym manager. Brooke’s been training there on and off for seven years, but this time she’s really committed to changing her exercise and diet.
She’s quit smoking and drinking, and now she’s lifting weights regularly. As a full-time mom to her kids, Mexx and Monroe, Brooke’s realized how important working out is for her mental health, especially after getting back to work.
At 31, she’s also co-hosting a radio show while her friend Gemma Atkinson is on maternity leave. Brooke says working out isn’t just about losing weight; it’s about taking time for herself and feeling good.
She admits she’s not always excited to go to the gym, just like any other mom. Some days, she’d rather stay in bed. But she never regrets a workout. It’s her time to recharge and focus on herself.
Brooke knows family life can be chaotic. She spends her days running after her kids, so the gym is her escape. It’s a place where she can lift her mood and feel good about herself.
She’s built a great friendship with her trainer Steve, who’s known as ‘Evil Steve’ because of his tough workouts. He keeps her motivated and reminds her of her goals, especially when she feels lazy or tempted to snack.
Steve even checks her trainers to make sure she’s wearing the right ones for workouts. Brooke jokes that she sometimes wears the wrong ones to avoid the exercises she doesn’t like, like the Prowler.
Her commitment to fitness shows how important self-care is for busy parents. Along with her workouts, she’s also aware of the need for personal well-being, which can come in many forms.
Brooke’s journey highlights that taking care of yourself is essential, especially when juggling the demands of motherhood.
