Why did you decide to join Xceler8?

The reason why I joined xceler8 was simply because I had enough of being overweight. I was sick of being uncomfortable not being able to do lots of things I wanted to do. Simple things like getting out of the car or doing my shoes up were an effort.

What was life like before you started going to Xceler8?

Before joining the gym I had a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing fitted. I was very unsocial & unmotivated. My diet consisted of takeaway at least once a day.

Tell us about your goals and how you achieved them?

My main goal was weight loss but I also wanted to become healthier, flexible & active. I achieved these goals by a combination of cardio & weights in the gym also outside the gym I enjoy bike riding, running & netball. Healthy eating also played a major part in my weight loss.

How has your life changed since achieving your fitness and/or weight loss goals?

Since losing all my weight I have heaps more energy and I am a lot more active and social.

What do you love most about Xceler8?

The thing I like the best about xceler8 would be the friendly atmosphere and the variety of people you met. The helpful friendly staff are always on hand for tips and encouragement. Also, it’s not over crowed.

What advice do you have for others?

For anybody else in the same position the hardest part is making the decision to do something about it. Advice for others would be start of easy and work into it. that way there’s more of a chance you’ll stick with it. Set goals to give yourself something to work towards and reward yourself when you reach those goals.
