5 /5 Micheal Smith: To be frank, I was this close to throwing in the towel and saying to hell with it. I’m a partner at a law firm in the CBD and the hours are insane. I had done it all — fancy gyms with all the bells and whistles, diets du jour, those online workout apps. Nothing stuck. I’d launch in full force, only to have life get in the way, then I’d find myself right back where I started but even more frustrated and dejected.
Then a colleague suggested trying Fitness Image. I was dubious, to put it mildly. Id been burned before. But I decided to take a final crack at it. From the very first consult, I knew this was different. Gary my trainer, didn’t simply want to know about my weight and fitness goals. He inquired about my life, my work routine, my stress, my eating habits, even my sleep patterns. He actually listened.
The program he created was totally personalized for me. No generic workouts, no impossible-to-sustain meal plans. It was difficult, yes, but it was also doable. He taught me how to squeeze workouts into my busy life, even when I was traveling for work. He suggested practical, realistic nutrition tips that didn’t demand that I become a gourmet chef overnight. He taught me simple techniques that gave me more energy.
The best part? The accountability. Gary regularly checked in with me, not just about whether I was sticking to the plan, but about how I felt. He tweaked the program when necessary, but it was also great to have him there to keep me on track.
Now, six months later, I’ve lost 12 kilos. But it’s more than the weight itself. I have more energy than I have had in years. Im sleeping better. Im more focused at work. I’m enjoying exercise, for real. And for the first time in a while, I feel comfortable in my own skin.
Fitness Image is no ordinary personal training in Melbourne. I have a different lifestyle now If you’re a hustler who’s just spinning your wheels, call them. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself
