Nine months ago, with great trepidation, I decided to take the plunge and sign up for personal training sessions with Martin Kelly at Positive Fit in Mandurah.
I was in a bit of a funk, hadn’t been exercising at all, and to be honest had not been feeling myself for quite some time. I was trying to be the best mum possible to my three young kids, but was feeling flat and lifeless, and was dragging myself through each day. I knew that regular exercise and the resulting endorphins could be the key to finding my mojo again, so I decided to give it a try.
My first day I was so nervous- I knew I was overweight and my energy levels were low, not to mention my fitness was non-existent. Walking into the gym took all my courage, and I was prepared to feel humiliated and embarrassed, however from that first very first session I was put at ease, and since that day I have not looked back.
Marty has taken the time to get to know me, my personal strengths and training challenges, and at all times he has supported and encouraged me. He keeps my sessions varied and interesting, and is down-to-earth and easygoing, which means the hour always goes really fast.
The change in me since I started with Positive Fit goes beyond the superficial. I have lost weight and gained muscle tone, and as a result I feel more confident in how I look, I feel good in my clothes- I feel good in my skin! I have more energy, I am stronger than I have ever been, and on top of that I have found my spark again. My old enthusiasm for each day has returned, and I bring that to my family every day. But the most significant change is that I have evolved into a positive, empowered woman of whom I can be proud.
I look forward to my personal training sessions each week, knowing that no matter what is going on in my life I will make the time to be there, as it is my time to concentrate on what is most important- a happy, healthy me.
