Chad Pearce

When Chad joined us 4 months ago he weighed 117kg . He was self conscious and frustrated with letting himself go... he was so embarrassed that he hadn't even had a photo taken of himself in the past 3 yrs.
We custom designed a program for him on his visit, but he soon realised that if he was serious about reaching his goal weight then he was going to need extra help and support. With 3 PT sessions a week, 2 cardio sessions of his own and a burning desire to make a change, Chad reached his goal weight of 92kg (weight loss of 25kg) in just 8 weeks!
Chad says: I joined the club at 117kgs and after 8 weeks I lost 25kgs thanks to the help and guidance of all the friendly staff and my excellent trainer, Samantha. I have gained back my self esteem and greatly improved in all areas of my health and fitness.

Sue has been a member since January 2009. Sue came to us after a long history of chronic disease, including rheumatoid arthritis and fibro myalgia. Fibro myalgia is a debilitating condition characterised by chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to pressure. Other symptoms are debilitating fatigue, sleep disturbance, joint stiffness, headaches, numbness and tingling, just to name a few. This combination of conditions would often lead people to avoid exercise, as understandably, this can exacerbate some of these symptoms. However, understanding that the benefits would outweigh any hiccups along the way, Sue bravely stepped into the club with a goal to decrease her symptoms and not allow her conditions to get in the way of living her life to the full.
Fast forward seven months of hard work, countless personal training sessions with Chad and under the Naturopathic guidance of Pru, Sue has exceeded all her expectations and goals. She has achieved her goal weight earlier than expected, she is stronger than ever and enjoying life to the full. Furthermore, she is no longer in constant pain, now sleeping through the night, has more energy, can actually run, has no more joint swelling and can keep up with her very active kids. Sue also looks younger and brighter with a renewed 'skip in her step'. She truly is an inspiration and a perfect example of how not to let your conditions affect your life. We are proud to be a part of Sue's amazing transition and look forward to continuing to work closely with her in the future.
