Turley is a huge fan of boot camp-style classes. “I’ve been going to boot camp classes for about two years,” Turley tells Women’s Health. ‘The classes were a mix of cardio and weighted work – so, you might have the bleep test or running with a weighted backpack in the first half of the class followed by weights circuits. It was nice to have a mix!”
Turley’s goals for 2022 were not just to get into shape again after pandemic lockdown weight gain, but to be fit and healthy with her boyfriend Finn Tapp. “We’ve actually been following nutrition plans and going to the gym three times a week,” she says. “We say that – but this is the first week, so… We’re going to stick to it this time hopefully.”
Turley loves to practice yoga, even when she’s on the move. “I actually went traveling and did yoga everywhere I went,” Turley says. “I’ve tried various types but Vinyasa is the one I like most – it’s a bit slower than my HIIT classes but I can still feel my body and muscles working.”
Turley sees herself as a singer first and foremost. “I certainly don’t think I’m a celebrity or anything – I’m just a girl who won a competition,” she says. “I’ve never dreamt of fame, that just baffles me. I’d like recognition for my musical talent and I’m hoping this will open doors for me, although you can be judged more harshly if you’ve been on a reality show. Luckily, I’d already established my career in music – I’ve been performing and gigging in Scotland for years.”
Turley is careful to protect her mental wellbeing at all times. “I enjoy yoga because it helps to relax me,” she says. “If I feel stressed I’ll have a long, hot bath and listen to a meditation app. I also love going on long walks with Finn and our dog which really chills me out. I’m quite a strong person with a thick skin and you need to be to take part in a reality show. Also I don’t take myself too seriously. If I started behaving differently because I’d been on the show, my friends and family would soon tell me straight ‘get over yourself, Paige’. I have a fantastic support network and that’s vital for wellbeing and keeps me grounded.”
