Hi Wendy and Team,

“I have been a member of Fitness Plus for 18 months. The instructors and trainers are experienced, professional and really help motivate you. They provide lots of positive encouragement for you to be able to “aim high” and achieve your goals. The classes are diverse, well schedules and most of all, lots of fun. The Ownership / Management are supportive and always looking at ways to improve things, be it Customer / Client service, equipment / resources or processes. Most importantly, I have more friends for life and I’ve learned to enjoy exercising, and to incorporate it into my daily life. I love it!”

Have a great week:)

Hi Wendy

Happy to pass on my comments about fitness plus. I believe that my staff make ANY place. From the cleaners to management level everyone is so friendly. Without all working together to create a friendly and family like environment many places are missing out on what it takes to make a great place. Also not having long term signing up contracts is a big plus especially for younger people on tight budgets I cannot stress that fitness

Kind regards Sharon Petterson (mother of Courtney and Mike)

Hi My name Rawyn Shaw I first joined fitness plus in 1999 as I had a back injury and was here to rehabilitate
I was over 30kg overweight at this time but in 15 months got down to my goal weight thanks to the team of trainers who were very helpful.
As the years went by I left changed jobs and stopped training to my horror gained the weight back again but a extra 10kg added.
I was diagnosed with berate cancer 2010 had 6 weeks radiation but lucky enough didn’t lose breasts as was only stage 1 breast cancer.
With depressing weight gain again and going through menopause I waited 2 years after operation then it was time to get this weight off as I felt so un comfortable.
I started back at the gym Feb 2012 with Wendy’s boot camps to start with, I persisted with this journey and I slowly have taken the weight off.
It was a great to have a happy trainer so helpful to help with this journey. I did about 4 boot camps with Wendy in 2012 and can’t thank her enough as she is a true leader and kept pushing us girls and helped us with healthy eating also. In 2013 I wanted more so now I do one on one training with another team member and Florence Ellis as our trainer.
I now have lost just over 20kg and are half way to my goal target. If it wasn’t got the friendly gym instructors, great help I wouldn’t be here, but I don’t want to stop now and I am saving to go to Hawaii 2013 as it will be big 50 YES (Hawaii5) this is been my goal you need to have them it really helps. So 2014 I want to be at my goal weight and with this great gym and staff I will be!

Being at my heaviest, weighing in at 176kgs I decided to make changes to my life. I had everyone telling me about my obesity, but I just didn’t want to listen. I decided to take matters into my own hands, because it was well overdue and I was so unhappy with myself. I realised I neglected my body for such a long time that it was time to make a change.

I started my journey in 2011 when I decided to join a fitness program called Fit 4 Life from there on in kilos started dropping. I started going back to the gym which I am a member of Fitness Plus for 5 years and started utilising my membership. I was in the zone training at the gym and going to Fit 4 Life and eating properly. I can actually say I was feeling good about myself I had more confidence. I was getting fitter, stronger, eating healthier and shedding the extra weight I have been carrying my whole life.

I would like to thank my mentors during my journey which is still a continual process of my life. Thank you to John and Fiona Mann of Fit 4 Life, Flo Ellis, Wendy Cox-Ropata and Tommy Alapati of Fitness Plus. These people have been a source of encouragement, motivating me and pushing me to my limit. But most importantly I would like to thank the Lord because without him I wouldn’t be able to lose all this weight if it wasn’t for his strength.

I am 29 years of age and now sitting at 87kgs have lost 89kgs to date and still long way to go till I reach my ultimate goal. I have learnt that this is a lifestyle it’s making changes for the better and living life to the fullest.

I would like to encourage and challenge those who are battling obesity to start somewhere, make small changes and go from there. Set a goal and to never give up and doubt yourself, because you can do anything if you set your mind to it. If I can do it then so can you!

To get the same help with losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle, give Flo, Wendy or Tommy a call today on (09) 267 0154!

Ahhh gym, where do I begin with you. A hobby, passion, part of my life, I look forward to you at the end of everyday, the highlight of my day and etc. In a nutshell, Gym (concept, the act of gym, and the place of gym) is quite important to me. So I am very picky with the gym I go to. At the moment, there are heaps of gyms nearby where I live, but here are a few reasons why I chose Fitness Plus over every other gym: big space, good atmosphere, friendly staff, lots of equipment (and the equipment is well looked after), nice people, great classes, great range of weights, affordable and best of all, it makes me feel welcome at the end of the day no matter how good or bad the day had been.

So keep it up guys and hope this helps!

Cheers
Jude
