"I wanted to enjoy my life more, that pushed me to come to Fitness First. My trainer is my supervisor, my mentor, my best friend. I really thank him. Now I feel really happy. Fitness First and my trainer Dave helped me a lot, I achieved what I wanted. It's a really big thing to do, I am proud of myself!"

"Three years ago I was pre diabetic, had high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. I decided it was time to make some changes. I had a lot of weight to lose, I was 107kgs. I started to come together with my daughter to Body Combat and we motivated each other to work harder. I have lost 40kgs in a year."

"Some years ago I lived an unhealthy and unbalanced lifestyle. After two brushes with cancer I decided that things needed to change. I'm a keen kayaker and Mark my Personal Trainer trains me for my kayaking races. I have friends who are not into healthy living. They are reluctant to do things and they don't have the energy and think they are old. The key thing to it all is a mind set and that there is no concession to age. I was 30 once and I am going to stay 30."

"I joined Fitness First and I found the instructors really motivating. I come in and train and meet my friends and do all the classes. I was never a very positive before and didn't have much confidence. I have increased my fitness, met so many people, and I just love it. I am out there for me, I am not out there to win. You can change your lifestyle cause I have done it. Life is very short, life is a gift, get out there and do what you want to do."

"I found myself alone and unhappy with my weight after 3 kids, I was emotionally eating. For once I wanted to do something for me so I started to train every day. It gave me inner strength. I have entered two natural body building competitions and this has made me hungry for more. My kids are my biggest fans. Knowing that they look at me, that I am a bit of an example for them is the biggest reward of them all."
